It is AMAZING how time seemed to pass soooo slowly when I was pregnant. Now, the days fly by like hours, the weeks like days! I distinctly remember my dad telling me about this phenomenon when I was younger. Once again I find myself admitted, "Dad, you were right!" :) It has been a challenge for me to juggle my responsibilities and be the kind of mom I want to be. I haven't had the time to blog b/c I find my days consumed with feeding, diapering, playing, squeezing in a little work! Oh, and then there is the laundry, grocery shopping, and cleaning! I either need a clone, 4 more arms, or to lighten up and relinquish some control! I'm thinking the last option is the only feasible one! All that to say, I am going to be home throughout the week and my goal is to blog weekly. If for no other reason, to gush over my beautiful gift from God!

Seriously slacking on our blog!

I can't believe I went the entire month of January without blogging! I had better get my act together :) We are now 23 days away from our due date! I think we have everything prepared-nursery is finished, clothes hanging in the closet, suitcases packed for the hospital. We are so excited and thankful. I am definitely uncomfortable and having a hard time sleeping, but I love it...its only a brief moment in time I get to have this experience and I cherish it-even the repeated kicks in my ribs like I'm experiencing at this very moment! I even have a bruise on my stomach from one of those strong little feet! The emotions we are experiencing are overwhelming...the excitement, anticipation, but also some anxiety and fear. Speaking of anxiety...on a lighter note, Tanner is seriously acting out-so much so that we just scheduled an in-home visit with an animal behavior specialist. He is coming to meet Tanner, Blake, and I on Monday afternoon. I have been really nervous about how Tanner will adjust to the baby, we want to do everything we can to make this transition smooth. Hopefully we will get some good puppy parenting tips and Tanner will get his act together! :)
