I cant believe I have only 6 more weeks until my due date. Sometimes it seems like a long time and sometimes (not often enough) it seems very short.
Lately I have been doing what I can to prepare for our baby's arrival. The nursery is almost finished, just a few little details left. The baby's clothes are all washed and put away. My hospital bag is getting packed. I am trying to wait patiently.
Sometimes I think about the excitement of the baby (and try not to think about the scary stuff like labor) I think about what it will be like to hold my baby in my arms for the first time and to see Travis hold him. It's weird to think I am going to be a mom. As long as I can remember I have always been the Aunt, a role I have loved playing! I am sure I will love playing the role as mommy even more!
I can't wait to see Travis with our baby boy and see him as father. I have seen Trav in so many different ways. I have seen him as a best friend then as the high school crush to the high school boyfriend. I have seen Travis as the boy I fell in love with (and still am in love with) to the boy that fell in love with me. I have seen him as the boy I married and as the man who was sealed to me in the temple. Now I can't wait to see Travis as the father of our baby!
The cradle was given to us by Trav's mom .
oh i almost pulled a Julie and cried.
ReplyDeleteThat is not even funny Kell! Someday you'll be like me and cry easily too.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to say I got choked up reading this post. But apparently that's not a surprise. But it was really sweet.
I inherited the cry gene too and teared up just like Julie. I can't wait to play the Aunt role for your new little guy!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! I can't even begin to express how it feels to hold that little one in your arms for the first time! I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see both of you as parents! Deeds your going to be an amazing mom!
ReplyDeleteyou BOTH are going to be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for our little one's to be BFF's, and i can't wait for our future trips to disneyland.
