Double Digits!

Where has the time gone? It is less than 100 days before my baby girl makes her entrance into this world! Although I am very excited to see her, hold her, and have her a part of our family, I am also very nervous and a little sad.

It thrills my heart that I will be able to see what she looks like and hold my baby girl in such a short time, but the thoughts of two kids (how to go to the grocery store and perform other tasks that are now easy with just one child) scare me. I also must admit that I am a little nervous about having a girl. I have the boy stuff figured out...now I have to learn a whole new way (everything from cleaning a girl to how to deal with her different emotions/needs).

And then I am also reminded that (God willing) this is my last pregnancy. Although I have tried to savor every moment, it will be missed. I love being pregnant (when I feel good) and consider it one of the most amazing wonders of God! I am going to miss having a living being in me that depends on God and me to grow. Most of all, I am going to miss those little taps, pats, and rolls that she does in my belly. It is the most amazing feeling ever! I wish I could just bottle it up and remember it forever!

Maybe it is just hormones, but I am a basket of emotions about entering my last trimester!
