Holy cow, everyone said it would go by fast and it sure has. Of course there were times, like night sickness, not sleeping, other fun things the body does that no one ever tells you, that it has seemed to go slow.
But, as we are in the middle of our 33rd week, I can't begin to imagine the life that we have been blessed with and how our lives will change.
As everyone asks me, "How are you feeling? or How are you doing?", there really is no way to put into words what has been going through our minds. We are at the point of anxious. It is a happy anticipation that cannot be put into any other words.
Brian has returned to work today, and he is happy to go back. I think he will of course not like going back to the same everyday mundane. But I think he is happy to go back to work and feel like he is accomplishing something everyday.
We both have come up with a new motto - make it a good day. I think it was really more of his idea :) No matter what craziness life has been throwing us, we have to remind each other to choose our happiness. We can either let stupid things at work, or even something small as traffic, throw our minds off of what we have coming up. We both realize, even if it is only to a small degree, how crazy life will become with a newborn. I know we are ready. We just need to treasure every moment, as we will never be able to get it back.
Scout also got to sniff our the car seat that we got from my cousin Mikala. We got the crying doll at Target - Scout could care less about it. The noises it makes don't bother him at all.
Brian also got his Diaper Genie today. He is super excited. We are now full-term so Anthony can really come whenever he wants. Everyone is so excited to meet him!!!
