Oh Baby!

My hubby and I had been trying to get pregnant for 6 months when we finally were successful this past November. What a roller coaster that experience was. You try not to get your hopes up, you try not to even think about it but as each month went by this got harder to do. People ask you annoying things like "When are y'all going to have a baby" and you try to smile and refrain from slapping the crap out of them. People can be so rude! We had just decided to take a break from the baby trying when I found out I was pregnant. Funny how things happen! 9 months later and our baby is almost here! It is still hard to believe that we are about to have a baby. Part of me feels too young to be having a baby although I am most certainly not, I'm almost 31! It is exciting and scary all at the same time. The unknown of labor and delivery and how nothing is in your control is scary for me. I am a control freak and I like knowing what to expect and being able to plan for situations! Some people may love being pregnant, I on the other hand have not. It has had its moments that I have enjoyed: being able to eat what I want, knowing that anything I wear will look pretty good, feeling the baby kick and hiccup but there have been other things I could have done without: being nauseated, wanting to gag everytime I brush my teeth, having hip, pelvic and back pain, feeling tired and hot, having constant heartburn and the list could definitely go on! I know all of it is worth it though! I must give credit to my husband because he has been fabulous throughout my pregnancy. He has been so understanding, thoughtful and supportive. God really did bless me when he gave me Dave.

I can't wait to meet our baby girl. I wonder daily what she is going to look like and whose personality she is going to have(I am hoping it will be my husband's personality because if she is anything like me, we are in trouble). We decided to name our baby Anna Marion. Ann is both of our mother's middle name and Marion is Dave's sister who fixed Dave & I up. I wanted our daughter to have a name that meant something and I am really happy that she has 3 awesome, strong women to be named after.

I really can't wait to be a mom. I know that my life will never be the same once Anna gets here and that is perfectly ok with me. I am already so in love with this little person that I haven't even met yet and I know I will be even more so once I do.
