Baby Talk: 8 more weeks!

As I type this, our little man is kicking like crazy in my belly!  It's totally crazy and such an incredible feeling to have our son squirming, stretching, and moving around.  Today, I am officially at 32 weeks!  It has been 32 weeks of great anticipation (well 28 really as I didn't know the first 4 weeks)!  It has been 32 weeks of my body changing like I had never ever considered or imagined.  And in 8 weeks (or 9 if he is late) we will hold our son and be a family of 4 (yes Dupree still counts as one)!

As I prepare for how our lives will change in 8 weeks, I am savoring time with Ryan.  Our relationship and our home will not be the same.  They say you love your spouse differently once you have a baby and I can see how that may be.  I also have to say that I already have come to love Ryan deeper than I did before.  I am beyond thankful that I get to do parenthood with him.  I can't describe it other than having a child together is an incredible miracle that I am really excited about!  Our lives will most definitely change- but I expect they will be richer, deeper, and stronger!    

These are the last few weeks when we can easily go out with friends, meet up with family and stay out late.  We can sleep in and run errands whenever we want.  In a few short weeks we will be sleep deprived and on an emotional high.  I'm sure I will feel like a milk machine and I will feel a new love like I've never felt before.  I cannot wait.

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of our baby boy but will happily let him stay inside for a few more weeks.  I am also mentally preparing myself that he could definitely be late.  So perhaps instead of 8 more weeks, I should just say 9.  Healthy and happy is our prayers for the arrival of this little gift.
