150 days to go

Man, time is flying by!! Lovebug will be here before we know it!

I know 150 days sounds like a long time, but you have to remember I was doing a countdown similar to this a year ago: the wedding countdown. It sounds like a long time, but it really isn't that long.

Though I have to say the countdown to the wedding was a piece of cake, and it inevitably ends with a nice wedding and a honeymoon; stress is over, and you finally relax. This countdown is pretty much the opposite!

It's 150 days to blissful sleepless nights; stress over every cry, every watery nose; waking up at the slightest noise. RIGHT NOW it's the time to relax, have a babymoon (Hawaii, baby!!), and enjoy the carelessness of time without kids (though with 2 puppies, we barely know what that's like...).

But though time is flying by, I'm enjoying every bit of this pregnancy! Sure, it's easy for me to say since I've had no morning sickness and just occasional mild nausea. And I haven't experienced the uncomfortable nights, wishing you could remove your belly and leave it on the night stand so you can get some sleep (yet!). But little by little, we're getting closer to Lovebug's arrival, and I know I'm going to miss feeling him/her move in there, and having a belly that grows every day. And knowing Lovebug is protected at all times in there.

But when we're really close, when I'm really uncomfortable, with a huge belly and suffering painful kicks on the ribs, I'll have something even better to look forward to: holding little Lovebug in my arms. It doesn't get any sweeter than that...
