~ 6 Weeks ~

I hope this surprises some of you as much as it surprises me; I cannot believe we will have a baby of our own in such a short time. I've had a few aches and pains in the last few weeks, but overall I cannot complain about this experience. We've wanted to be parents for so long & I think that has really helped me keep a positive outlook on this experience as a whole & avoid some frustration over the things about being pregnant that are inconvenient. I get asked almost daily if I have a "feeling" about the gender of this baby & I honestly must report that I do not have a feeling one way or the other. My little sister just had her baby this last week & now it seems everyone is even more excited for our little ? to arrive. I am excited as well, but I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at all the ways my/our life will change once the baby comes. We've had 6 Thanksgivings & will soon celebrate our 5th Anniversary & 6th Christmas together just the two of us & as much as we have prayed for little ones to join our family, I'm just not sure I am ready to share Travis yet. Travis is an AMAZING partner in life & he will be an AMAZING dad! I am excited to watch him teach our children the principles & values he governs his life with.
