Another week has gone by in the blink of an eye. The cool weather that has been rustling the Grand Haven trees reminds me of my favorite time of year. And I can't help but feel a little nervous (and very excited) when I think of October. I almost feel as though I should stop counting down the days til it arrives. Maybe then time will slow down just a little bit. Then again I have such anticipations for all that is on its way I wish it was here already.
October, this year, means so many things. Not only am I looking forward to Fall decor, autumn scented candles, leaves covering the ground, pumpkin patches and scarves. But the birth of baby E and our anniversary. These events will make this time of year a time to celebrate. I feel like a kid again. Eagerly awaiting what's to come. My anticipation makes me want to jump up and down (If only I could).
Everything is going really well with the pregnancy. Well, atleast I can't imagine it going much better. My chubby feet are currently propped up on my coffee table and my belly feels stretched to its limits. But, I'm so glad to be home, writing and resting. I've had a light headed feeling on and off for a couple weeks now. My midwife says it is normal, which it definitely doesn't feel like normal and other than getting lots of iron, protein and vitamin c I have to sit and wait for it to pass. So, I eat only foods that are rich in these vitamins and have much benefits to my body and the baby.
And speaking of her, as I always do: We are officially prepared. All thanks to the women in my life. Ryan's Mom surprised us with a beautiful crib. It will turn into a toddler bed and then a twin bed when baby grows out of that! My mom insisted the crib needed a bumper so we found an ordable bed set for $35 (originally $70)!! She also got me a baby book that I have already started filling. My sister, Kacey, knew of a thrift store that turned out to be the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! She purchased a bassinet (for $20), which is the one thing I REALLY really wanted for the baby. And Trina found a car seat in perfect condition for only $35. Did I mention the bags of clothes we found. 10 outfits for about $20! I'm so glad my family enjoys thrift shopping! Without these excellent deals we wouldn't be blessed with as many adorable things for the baby. Now she just needs to arrive to use them all!
I want to thank all the people for their gifts, words and love. I'm slowly working on thank you gifts and cards but I want to tell those of you who have given your time and effort to us I am more than greatful. I feel rich because of all you have done. I know this journey wouldn't be as bright and wonderful as it is with all of you in my life. Thank you.
Keep loving.
