Full term.

Well, we made it. This pregnancy is officially considered full term! I can't explain the emotions that run through me as I type that. As any first time mom I am filled with both nervousness and excitement as I anticipate when (and how!) she will make her arrival.

We have planned and talked through all of the possible scenarios of delivery and how we will communicate throughout the process. We've been specific on what type of health care provider we want to deliver with and where we want to deliver. We have a birth plan that we will bring with us when we go. I will attempt to keep my cool as much as possible with the hour drive to the hospital.

With all of that being said, I know that we are kidding ourselves to think that this will go exactly how we want it to. I am the queen of anxiety, and the unknown scares me. I'm putting this out there now, so that when I'm snuggled up in new parent bliss, I will remember my honest feelings going in.

Last week, Sara took some pictures of  us and I cherish them so much already. I've tried my best to get bump shots, but I've always been so unhappy with how I look in every picture. These pictures are beautiful and I can't stop looking through them. Not one negative thought on how I look, just pure joy in how much I've enjoyed being Hayleigh's mom already. Thank you Sara, truly.

Here are a few of the pictures... and you can see the rest of them here.

You are in my thoughts and prayers:) One thing with parenthood; sometimes you have to go with the flow if things don't go exactly as planned. Once Hayleigh is here, you will see that nothing else really matters:) I am praying that things go as planned though. I CAN NOT WAIT to get the call:) Love you guys! Oh and great pictures. Love that purple on you!
