While it was certainly a time of relaxing, we did accomplish some big things off the good ole to do list like taking down Christmas decorations(with me breaking about once an hour from all that moving around & going up
& down steps) & I even managed to re-decorate the house in no time as well. Chris gave me a deadline of lunch and I was done by 1pm. Not too shabby if I say so myself! Now I still have a few projects up my sleeve but nothing too crazy. I think I also may have finally gotten my mantle decor right where I want it, too. It only took 5 years ;)
With all of this time to relax I definitely have had lots of time to think about our fin-man's arrival and whoa...little bit overwhelming! It's not like I haven't known he was coming eventually but it always seemed far away. Now, not so much. Especially having my first baby shower this past Saturday & seeing lots of friends & family it really started to sink in. There are definitely mixed emotions - anxiety for his birth & the unknown(what if I can't breastfeed?, what if my labor is super long?), excitement thinking about seeing him & meeting him, and definitely the overwhelming thought of becoming a family. It's going to be amazing - that I know for sure - but I also know it's not going to be easy, sometimes it won't be fun, things will not always go as planned, and I will be tired. But on the bright side I have one heck of a sidekick husband who I know will be willing to help anyway he can(and already has shown me this by doing laundry, unpacking all the shower gifts, etc.) and I have a wonderful support system of family & friends.
So, in the end I feel like it's totally ok to feel all of these emotions since I am going through a life changing event and I just have to remember that the Lord knows everything that will happen & has happened and it's all in His very capable hands.
Matthew 6:34
"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes."
P.S. today is ONE MONTH until our due date!
