The Final Countdown

Hi Baby girl (Yes! It's a girl!),

I can't believe it is only weeks away from your arrival! Time has flown by and I still cannot wrap my mind around how fast this is all happening. I am so excited, yet so nervous! Nervous about how you are going to come into this world and how I will handle the physical pain as well as all the changes you will bring into my life. Just so you know, my pain tolerance is basically nonexistent... so we will see! As it is getting closer to the due date, I find myself feeling more anxious. But time and time again, I find myself running back to God, my ultimate comforter. I am entering into uncharted territory and I am seriously relearning what it means to trust and walk by faith. So baby, you are already stretching me (physically and spiritually!) and pushing me to grow in so many ways. I am truly grateful for this time and I know it will be a lifelong learning process (for all of us). I know it will be a huge adjustment for you as well, so get ready! We will do this together. 

At 37 weeks, you are running out of room. And I can feel every single one of your twists and turns, especially those insane karate kicks and chops of yours. I often feel like I am getting beat up from the inside! But it's funny how they kind of make me happy too. Weird, isn't it? Besides the expected aches/pains, the summer heat makes things pretty rough. But I will endure, for as long as you are healthy and cozy in there, I am happy to be your home. 

On another note, your room (more like your corner) is complete! It has been a joy putting together your little dwelling place and I can't wait to spend time with you there (oh and definitely Ninja too since he has already claimed the rug...) 

Aaahh! I can't wait to meet you! See you soon! Please go easy on me and come out as fast as you can, okay? Thanks!

Love, 
Mom
