Sooo many exciting things are occurring in our household!
On Thursday I went to my 38 week appointment and my OB informed me that she believed I would go into labor by next week. Here I am officially freaking out! Since finding out, I have started cleaning the apartment from top to bottom. Literally...I cleaned the top of the refrigerator, the inside of the refrigerator, the carpets, the pantry, all of the laundry that needed to be done, counter tops...I still need to dust. Boy oh boy do I need to dust!
I was talking to LT last night and told him how inadequate I feel about being a mom. I think a lot of the feelings are just nerves but some of it is just trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am going to be responsible for this tiny human. It is so different carrying a child and then actually having them around. Sure, I've had practice with my nieces and nephews but the experiences I had with them will not compare to the ones I will have with my son, simply because he is mine. I just want to feel confident that I can do this - that I can be a mom, but then again what brand new mom feels really confident?
LT has his promotion ceremony to 1st Lieutenant in April and then that same weekend we are baptizing Jelly Bean so his best friend is coming out to be the god father. I'm excited for all of the new changes we will have soon.
Speaking of changes, I am working on a new layout for the blog but probably won't put it up for a while since I will be so busy. I definitely want to keep things simple though.
Here's to 2013 starting off awesome!

No woman feels ready to be a mom. And the fact is, no woman IS ready to be a mom. But really knew what he was doing when he made us. Everything comes so naturally. You won't even believe it! In a month from now it will feel like you have always had this precious little boy and you will be the best mom ever :)
