30 Weeks

The end is near and there is a new beginning waiting in the wing for us.  I sit here and wonder just how much my life will change in 10 weeks.  I have loved being pregnant with our Nella baby.  I pray that I can savor and enjoy these next 10 weeks.  I am so excited to become a mother...a momma.  For now though, I just love being pregnant.  I don't mind the occasional aches, the lack of sleep due to uncomfortable positions and multiple trips to the bathroom.  I have been blessed so far with a pretty good pregnancy.  Life is good.  I am happy.

How did that happen?

I journal daily.  Old school, in a book, with a pen.  I want my family to have something to hold onto, to open, to read, long after I'm gone.  It sits by my nightstand and I try to write daily.  When one book is full, I move on to another.  Currently, my journal sits on my nightstand with the books that we read to Nella while she is nestled up in my tummy.  It shares space with my prenatal vitamins and my chapstick, both bedtime must-haves.

When I went to date this morning's journal entry it dawned on me that my due date is exactly 3 months from today and we're now headed into the 3rd trimester.  Everything seems to be going by so quickly.
