I feel like a model!
A good friend took these pictures of me the other day. After days of feeling bloated and not attractive, its nice to have these pictures to feel better about myself!

A thank you
I just wanted to take a second and thank everyone who has helped us along the way. You all know who you are. We couldn't do this without the help and support of our friends and family. I just want to thank you all now and let you know how much we appreciate each and every one of you. And a huge thank you in advance, I know once Adeline is born we'll need even more help, mostly mental help :)
And a huge extra special thank you to my Mom, the Grandma to be! I would be lost without you!

Here's a recap of my pregnancy journey so far.
Will and I started trying to get pregnant in June 2008. I found out I was pregnant at 4:30pm August 26, 2008. I was by myself when I took the test, when I read the results I sat down on the bathroom floor for a few minutes before I called my mom. She came over immediately! I was so happy and freaked out at the same time! I couldn't stop shaking! My mom left before Will came home so we can have our moment alone. I greeted him at the door with my pregnancy test. We were both so excited we started calling everyone in our phone lists. I was supposed to go to class at 5, but that so didn't happen :)
I've lucked out and actually had a pretty easy pregnancy. I didn't get any morning sickness, I was mostly just tired. I am now 37 weeks pregnant and the only real symptoms I've had are a little heartburn, swollen feet and hands and exhaustion! I've gained about 50 lbs, I can't believe it! I am huge! I barely sleep anymore, I think that's my body getting me ready for all the night feedings! I went on disability last month, my blood pressure was a little high, so my Dr. took me off of work. I really don't miss it at all! I was working at Bath & Body Works, a good job, but I'm so over retail! :) I'm looking forward to being a full time mom.
With only a couple weeks to go, I keep switching back and forth between being excited and being terrified. I know I will be fine once the time comes, but waiting for it is so hard! I honestly have no idea what to expect. I can read all the books I want, watch all the videos and talk to as many moms as I can, but I won't know anything until it actually happens. It's really surreal to know in a matter of days, I am going to be a parent. So bizarre! My whole world is going to change, I'm looking forward to it.

Welcome!
Since I won't have time to post pictures of Adeline and her adventures on all of the social sites I use, I decided to make just one place to put them all. I hope you all enjoy this blog!
