Endings and Beginnings

We are so excited for the very soon arrival of our baby boy, but it is hard to believe that so many things we have taken for granted are now coming to an end.

The pregnant lady wants Bottoms Up pizza!

Was this our last date night as a 2 person family? The last time where we can just decide on a whim we want to go out to eat and have no thought as to who will babysit or will Henry behave/sleep long enough for us to enjoy our meal? How much will I miss those days?

However much I may miss the days of a quiet house, spur of the moment outing decisions and mornings of getting up when I darn well please, I am ready to meet this little man growing inside of me --- and regain control of my body!

What in the HECK is THIS!!!????

The left one makes the right one actually look normal, and I assure you, there is nothing normal about the right one.

Then there is the case of the (dun, dun, dun) double chin! And is that my nose looking wider too??

As scary as this new body of mine is, I really can't complain. I have been blessed with an easy pregnancy - one with no puking, normal weight gain and low blood pressure. I am also lucky enough to say that these scary, unnatural bodily changes waited until the very end, when Henry is just about ready to make his debut.

Yep, you heard it right! We received the good news from our AWESOME doctor (Dr. Alice Hirata) that Henry should be here in no more than 2 weeks. Already dilated (just a little) and regular contractions (prepping my body for what's next), Henry is making his move South and we hope to meet the little pumpkin any day now!

And on that note, get a load of these! I just can't wait to squeeze those fat little baby feet into them and take about a zillion photos!!
