29 Weeks

Isaac will be here in 2 1/2 months.

This amount of time simultaneously feels like forever and just around the corner. I have moments each day that I can't wait another second for our son to be born and I also have moments each day that I want him to take every minute of these 2 1/2 months. Although I can't wait to hold him, gaze at his nose and tiny fingers, and cuddle him endlessly...I feel that there is a lot to do to prepare for his arrival.

I realize we have 2 1/2 months, but for goodness sake we only have 2 1/2 months!

I can honestly say that I have enjoyed being pregnant; the morning sickness only lasted for a short time and it truly wasn't as bad as I've heard other moms experienced. However, being jabbed and kicked from the inside out is quite a wild feeling. It seems Isaac has found my ribs, and he quite enjoys using his tiny feet to kick me...as often as he can. I don't know if this is a sign of his personality; but, if so, he's quite the firecracker. Not that he will come by such a personality honestly by any means; I am the quietest, most peaceable human being around...just ask my younger sister!

On second thought, don't ask her. Just take my word for it.
