Oh, Baby: Thirty Weeks.

Melissa Beene Ford/ Uncategorized

Thirty weeks? Did I just say thirty weeks? 

HOW ON EARTH DO SEVEN-AND-A-HALF MONTHS GO BY THIS FAST?



Sometimes, I have huge baby fever and drool and goo-goo-gaga over every adorable newborn pic posted on Facebook. I feel overwhelming, all-consuming love for this tiny little gift from the Lord growing in my belly. I thank God profusely for giving her to us. Sometimes.

And other times I’m slightly panic-stricken and anxiety-ridden over what, exactly, I’m supposed to do with a newborn because it’s been a long time and I’m not sure I’m capable.

What I’m trying to say is, I’m not entirely ready to be  bringing this total stranger home to live with us in ten short weeks (give or take).

BUT I know without a doubt that when she arrives, we’ll wonder how on earth we ever lived without her.

And the other thing I know is that she’s 100% ATHLETE. She never. stops. moving. I mean, never.

And she’s strong. STRONG, I tell you. The internet tells me she weighs three pounds this week, and I have no idea how a three-pounder can wreak as much havoc on my innards as this girl does.

It’s as if she’s trying to dominate in the Olympics…

Alls I know is there’s some sort of athletic event going on in my belly at all hours of the day and night.

And in ten short weeks, give or take, she’ll be here.

And I. Can’t. Wait.

    Think of every loving, romantic, awesome, sugary-sweet thing you can think of, and insert it here. Because I just dont have the words. "I love you" doesnt even begin to tell the story. You are my prize treasure chest ( o ) ( o ) that is carrying my next treasure. You're such an incredible wife and mother. I'm so blessed and thankful for you, My Bride. 🙂

    And THIS is why I'm so lucky. <3 What I love the most about your comment, though, is the secret little encoded diagram you included. NO one will EVER figure out what that means. Brilliant! 😉
