I finally understand (and a weekend recap)

So I finally understand the feeling of "I don't care what I have to go through, I just want my baby here" I had this feeling through the first 8 months of my pregnancy that I would never be excited for labor and delivery and that instead I would live in fear of it, I mean terrified! BUT that is starting to pass as every day I get more and more uncomfortable, I can't sleep, I can't stand for a long period of time but I can't sit for a long period of time either, I'm full so quickly but hungry a lot of the time, I wake up on average 3 times to go the bathroom and take a tums because my heartburn is like woah.

Don't get me wrong my pregnancy has really been a breeze and I was so lucky not to have the morning sickness, I've kept my weight gain down, and I have not had any close calls or scary moments. SO for that I am thankful but I think this is God's way of making me shake my fear of labor and get me ready to welcome this little girl into the world. Am I still nervous for the whole experience, you bet ya I am, but I'm feeling more confident in myself and in the fact that I was meant to go through this and it's the only way I'm going to get this baby out of me and into my arms!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter, our weekend was fabulous, one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. It's a great time to live in the city of Indianapolis with all of the Final Four festivities going on around us. My husband and I spent the day Friday downtown, hitting up the Butler Bulldog's open practice with about 30,000 other people (unreal!) then hung out downtown for lunch, drinks (not me of course), people watching, and catching up with friends and family!

Saturday was my husbands Birthday so we had our families over for dinner and to watch the game. My husband has been a Butler fan all of his life and got the most amazing Birthday gift as they won their Final Four game and are onto the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!! He even managed to get his hands on a ticket with one of our friends from school and will be in Lucas Oil tonight to cheer on his team! I couldn't be happier for him :)

Easter was great, Matt had to work in the morning so I hung out with my family for church and breakfast, it was fun to hang out just the 5 of us again like old times. Then when Matt got home we hit up both family get togethers, ate lots of food, played games outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. It was a great day and I can't wait to dress up our little girl in a cute Easter outfit next year!! Oh so fun :)

Well there is my rant about pregnancy and my weekend recap all wrapped into one big rambling post! Pictures to come when I get home :)
