relax

oh, yesterday was so nice...i got a massage and it was so relaxing and so what I needed. I melted into the table and let her do the work.
the best part of it all is that I have 2 more scheduled before the birth, 1 after and that just makes life so much better.

We went to a "Surviving the first 2 weeks with a Baby" class yesterday ~ our last class out of the 3 we've signed up for. It's been interesting and we've learned some so I guess that's all we can ask for. The past 8 months have definitily been a ride we've enjoyed and now we're down to the last month and I'm getting so excited and antsy! I want it to be here but of course not RIGHT now but soon... everyone is telling us to enjoy this alone, quiet time but to tell you the truth we've had this time for 11 years now and now we're ready for the next chapter. It will come soon enough I'm sure but it is rather exciting. To finally meet this little one - to find out if it's a boy or a girl, who this person is going to be, who will it look like, act like? everything...

i've started my nesting stage I guess people would say - i'm cleaning, i'm organizing and trying to figure out where all this STUFF is going to fit in our little apartment but it's been fun and challenging at the same time.

What i feel now is to really connect w/other pregnant women, other moms - to feel like i belong somewhere... i've always been a procrastinator.

Look, Stef, I got into your comments popup...finally!! I'm so glad you've been enjoying your pregnancy and are looking forward to the arrival of little Lemon. You are going to have a cute, sweet citrus baby!

Stef,
I'm not a mom, or even close, but just reading your post made me so excited for you! I can't wait to hear your tales of new motherhood (of course, that's if you can still find time to post!)

and good for you for taking some time out for yourself.

love,
lindsey

I remember these same feelings, Stef! It's such an exciting time, yet somewhat scary since it's unknown. You and Tim are going to make the transition go well because you both truly WANT to be parents.

We're so excited to find out who little lemon really is!!! :)

Love you - Heather
