As we all love to see ourselves grow bigger, really not so much....pregnancy is a unique time to embrace it. I have always looked forward to the time of having children, but even with all the experience with children and seeing so many family & friends going through it I wasn't quite sure how I would feel or handle it.
As we gear up for the last 8 weeks, I felt that it was a great time to reflect on this experience and share my ever-growing baby belly.
 |
| Felt really tired, didn't really feel like eating, still in shock that we will be having our own little one |
 |
| Still really tired, looking forward to sharing our news with our friends & family, we got to see our first ultrasound |
 |
| Excited to have been able to share our exciting news....it started feeling more real, between this milestone & before the next I started feeling flutters created by Baby M |
 |
| Month 4: Baby M- we had a mover, liked to push his/her legs |
 |
| The growth of the baby bump really started right around this time. Not looking just like I was gaining weight, but that there is a baby in there! Blake was able to feel Baby M move. |
 |
| Month 6: photos of our growing family |
 |
| Month 7: so grateful that this pregnancy has gone so well, decided to stop wearing my wedding ring so that it wouldn't get stuck-when I get hot my fingers well |
 |
Month 8: starting to feel the pressure. There are times that I feel that I need to slow down-muscle cramping when I'm pushing myself, noticing that I am getting out of breath, but making sure that I am resting. We also went to our first baby/childbirth class.

It is difficult to sum up all the emotions and experiences that come with pregnancy. No words will do it justice. As I've heard, everyone's pregnancy is their own. Mine has been a wonderful time-nothing to complain about-even as sleeping throughout the nigh is no longer an option. My thoughts on pregnancy is, it has been one of the most amazing and strangest experiences that I have been through in life. I am so grateful that I have a supportive husband, family, friends, and work community to share it. I am just trying to take it all in and enjoy.
Stay tuned for the count down.....8 weeks to go!
