Thankful and Anxious

Today I feel thankful for this healthy, growing baby inside of me.

The last few weeks have been tough for James and I with one thing after another going wrong. It reminded me of when we first moved to Mexico with no plan and no money. We were each other's only stability, and it brought us closer than ever.

I realized in the midst of the bummers last week that James and I still had and will always have each other. That will never change and for that I am forever thankful.

James and I both are also incredibly anxious to meet our daughter. It's all we can think about and while we feel as if the day could not come sooner, we realize it will be here before we know it. We are trying to enjoy our sleep now and our lazy Saturday mornings, which will soon become a distant memory.

I am thankful and anxious today for Isabella and my husband. Those two people make me the luckiest person alive.

I also can't wait to give Isabella this:



Saw it here: http://www.bethquinndesigns.com/ and fell in love.

Can't wait to give it to my girl.

Daydreaming...

I spent the morning bus ride to work daydreaming about dancing with James and our kids in the living room before we all went off to school/work.

While I daydreamed I was listening to this:

Can't wait for the dancing.

So, not sure if you've read, but beautiful Brazilian supermodel, Giselle Bundchen says her all natural childbirth "didn't hurt; not even a little bit."

So, I know I have yet to actually give birth, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say that it's going to hurt... probably a lot.

You may also have read that she didn't have to wear maternity clothes. She says she just fit fine in her regular clothes.

Does anyone else want to punch her? I'm usually not a violent person, but if I had the chance, I seriously think I'd give her a little slap in the face. Just a nice little wake up call telling her to snap out of it. Normal people are not like you.... oh, and someone must have slipped you a large dose of body numbness during labor.

Needless to say, I'm not taking any pregnancy and labor advice from Giselle.
