And Darius Rucker's song, "It Won't Be Like This for Long." Geez...it's hard to remember to enjoy the present moment when you're so excited about the good things to come! But you will look back and miss this part of your life, so do try to take some time out to just be happy and live NOW. I do realize that's hard to do all the time, or even on a daily basis. ;) I'm a planner and I'm constantly striving for something new - not necessarily better - just different and now that I have a this sweet baby girl, I ask myself, "Do I ever want her to feel like this? Or like I have something better to do? Somewhere better to be?" And the answer is no. That's a good enough reminder for me. I hope Monday goes well for you! You definitely deserve it!

This is my first time coming across your site and boy can I relate to this post. I have a beautiful 10 year old daughter but about a year after she was born I had the most horrific thing happen in my life. I wish nothing but the best for you and your growing family! Sending you prayers, warm thoughts and a great big hug! Hope your having a wonderful day! xoxo Hello! This is my first time coming across your site and boy can I relate to this post.

I know how heartbreaking, difficult and anxious that feeling is. Sending you GOOD VIBES!! It is ok to get excited - *if* something goes wrong it wont feel any less painful if you didn't allow yourself to get excited - so do your best to breath and I'm hoping these weeks fly by for you (found you through SITS) Sending you a million hugs!

Pampering is good...I really should do that, but I don't want to shop or buy clothes that won't fit soon, and I'm still worried about pedicures! hahha I'm just being crazy, but I just want to get passed this 1st trimester!
