perfectly pregnant

The end of my pregnancy is so close! We have about 10 weeks left and it is coming so fast. I thought in the beginning that the weeks would drag on and on and on...but here we are just weeks away from our sweet baby arriving. I'm becoming increasingly excited and nervous for the big day. I've talked with enough of the girls to know, labor ain't easy, but the end result is worth every minute of it. My doctor says everything is looking good, the baby isn't too big and not too small. We will have to see when she decides to arrive what size she really is! I'm seriously hoping she shows up on July 4th! Fireworks and fun every year on her birthday would be so much fun! The only concern would be whether or not the doctor would even be there...they said they haven't done the schedule that far ahead yet so there is no telling who might deliver this baby. This is an exciting adventure!

The baby shower is May 7th and I can hardly wait! I'm a sucker for any kind of party, but especially ones with adorable little clothes and the wonderful women who are apart of my life. The girls (Lexi and Brynn) went with a cute birdie theme to go with our nursery. Believe it or not I am terrified of birds, but these are so adorable I could hardly resist. I'm so blessed to have such wonderful friends to plan such an event! You girls mean more to me than I can even express!

I have tried to get prepared as much as I possibly can, but my kind of prepared is making headbands, buying clothes, and getting cute nursery bedding. The necessities! They say birthing classes, books, and research get you prepared...well it doesn't help when you forget to sign up and miss the class completely!! Yes, we've missed it. Thankfully, these classes are not required because this child is coming whether we've gone to classes or not.

Now that we are in the home stretch and my belly seems to be getting larger by the minute I have been amazed to see my body change. I can sit and watch my amazing belly completely shift and move without even trying. She seems to move most in the evenings, but settles when it's time for me to sleep. I can only hope this is a trend she continues after she makes her big debut.

Well, McKinley Sophia Hoffman should arrived in just 10 short weeks and we can hardly wait! Jonathan makes sure to talk with her everyday and tell her he loves her and can't wait for her to be here with Mommy and Daddy! We can't wait to be parents and for our sweet baby girl to arrive!!
