Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Almost there...

So it has been a long time since I have posted, I just can't seem to stay on top of this blogging thing. So I am due on Monday, it is crazy to think we are almost to the end of this journey called "pregnancy" and about to begin a new one called "parenting". I am so ready to have this baby, I keep hoping that any minute I am going to go into labor. I really do not want to go over my due date but I guess at this point all we can do is wait. I have received lots of "advice" as to how to get labor going so this morning Shane and I decided to give one of the ideas a try. I was told that Curb Walking is a sure way to get things going so we went on a walk this morning and I walked with one foot up on the curb and the other on the road. I will say during the actual walk my belly did have several contractions and it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I am really hoping that our little walk will pay off and by tonight we will be up at the hospital, but it has been over an hour since I have had a contraction and I am just really tired at this point. I just want our little girl to come, I can't wait to meet her and see what she looks like. I am as ready as I think you can be for her to come, it will be a long week next week if she doesn't decide to come. I am used to being so busy at work that being home I just keep cleaning my house and organizing things but you can only do that so many times. Her room is all ready and it turned out so cute, I will post pics of it soon. Anyway, we have our fingers crossed that she will be here soon, I am so excited! We'll keep you all posted.

I am so excited for you guys. I can't imagine how hard it would be to wait those last few days! I can't wait to see pics of your nursery. I finished that desk a couple days ago and painted my office yesterday so I will have to take some pics too. The desk turned out so cute-way to cute for a drop off to the DI! Anyway, keep me posted :)
