Wow
I woke up with this overwhelming feeling today and its carried on all morning.
To sink in, it's taken 8 months, a baby room in the making, a husband who is traveling this weekend which is making me nervous!, a friend helping me clean out the kitchen to make room for BOTTLES and baby stuff, a few baby items in the closet, "how you feeling?" calls from family and friends, a list of names that we keep adding to and never talking through (can a kiddo have 5 names??), filling out maternity paperwork, a shrinking stomach despite my ever-growing belly and slowing-down body, a "hospital" bag by the door, a little booklet of sonograms and doctor appointment after doctor appointment, and emotions so out of control
that some days I barely recognize the woman I was just months ago
I am going to be a momma, or is that spelled mamma??? gosh, i don't even know -
but God willing, i will be one or the other in just weeks
So much to do!
Off to take a nap

Aww, this is such a sweet picture...All of these emotions are normal, Steph, Mama, Momma, Mamma...Regardless the name you decide for yourself, you and JT will be great parents! I'm sure you can look back on all the things you have done so far for the Baby's arrival and think to yourself, "how did all of THIS even get done?"
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonder, how many years ago, women would find the nearest tree to "comfortably" squat and have a baby! lol You are way ahead of the game, wouldn't you agree!?
You are still the same Dasha you were a few short weeks ago. Dasha always plans for great events and makes people feel special. Planning your Baby's Birthday is no different! Dasha is still within you, she just has to share the role with Mother! :)
I love you. Can't wait to be an Aunt!!! Keep smiling while you nest, enjoy the last few weeks of your own naps and schedule. Have a great week, Dasha! ♥♥♥
