7 months!

It's already been over a week since my last post. I'm not sure how that happens...I apologize. Here's the latest and greatest (and some not so greatest too).

I'm 7 months along. I should actually shout that. I'm 7 MONTHS ALONG!!!

And still going strong.

Okay, maybe strong isn't the best word. It's 10AM so right now I feel strong but ask me that question in 10 hours and I'll probably crumble into 1000 pieces and cry. Do I seem dramatic? Because even in my worst physical state I'm not. I'd say I'm more of a pile of rocks and rubble, unable to move and too exhausted to speak. It's all I can do to not cry. And some nights that's all I do.

Ryan has been amazing through these rough patches. He rubs "miracle lotion" (literally thats what it's called) on my feet and shins. It is probably the greatest feeling I could feel at this point in time. He always offers to make me food or get me anything I need. I think he's adjusting better than I am as he seems to know just what to do to help. I'm truly thankful to have him by my side.

I'm still working! 5 days a week. Insane, right? I can usually make it 4 hours without any complaints but once the dinner rush is over and the adrenaline wears off I start to ache. But, I'm making good money, which tells me I'm still doing a good job. And thanks to a few really great coworkers I haven't been breaking my back lifting food trays. Yet, another thankful moment.

Baby E's room is no where near ready. I always thought expecting parents were nuts when I would hear how the crib wasn't set up or they didnt have this or that. Well, who was I to judge. I'm that person now. Then again how can I have a crib set up when I don't have one yet!? I do however, have TONS of adorable outfits in all kinds of patterns and pinks and purples! I also have cute shoes, decorations, hats and diapers. Thanks to the wonderful ladies that attended my baby showers.

AHHH! I'm honestly trying not to get stressed about being unprepared but I feel as though I could blink and she'll be here. On the other hand I think, how does a person prepare to become a mother?

My saying today: Just take one step at a time.
I know I have so many things yet to discover and learn. I'll get there. Eventually.

Keep loving.
