Motorcycle Rides and Pregnancy

In high school a friend of mine used to do this funny thing where she would use the flats of her palms on each side of her face to scrunch up like a little chubby kid. She would then say something like, "I love riding on my daddy's motorcycle and I always say, 'go faster, Daddy! Go faster!'" and then suddenly her hands would fly back, pulling her skin tight and she'd squeal, "Whoa Daddy! Slow down!!"

That's how I feel about this pregnancy!

At first it felt like November would never come and I would be pregnant and mildly uncomfortable forever. 
Now the chubby kid is freaking out! 
I'm due in a little over a month and I know how fast a month can go! Everyone keeps telling me you're never really ready...and then the baby comes and it doesn't matter. You have to be ready, so you are. Man I hope that's true!

On the bright side, I am looking forward to wearing my wedding ring and cute shoes, crossing my legs, and walking without a waddle again!

I'm so grateful for this pregnancy. It's amazing to think about how much my life will change in just a few weeks. I'll never not be a mother again! YIKES!!
