The Big 23!


So my birthday on St. Patricks! I turned 23 years old! It was a fun day and even though Dan was out of town he made my birthday great! He took me to lunch the day before and bought me new shoes, perfume, and a glider for our nursery! Then on my actual birthday my work friends brought me the cutest cake, balloons, and cards. Then we went bowling during lunch! It was so much fun to get out of the office and have some fun in the middle of the day! We played "goofy bowling" and were trying all these different ways to try and bowl. I had to go to a lighter bowling ball then I usually play with since I am pregnant and weak. Lets just say I was still sore the next day!

How do I feel now that I am 23? I can tell you I am starting to freak out a little. I am getting a lot closer to having my baby! I am due in the first of June and March is pretty much over. So I basically have April and May and she is going to be here! I am so excited for her to get here! To enjoy the summer with my little girl and kiss her cheeks a million times a day! But, I still have so much to do, and I know my life is going to change dramatically. I have always wanted to be a mom and I thought I was so ready. But at the same time I don't think you can ever be "really ready" for motherhood. Basically, what I am trying to say is I am getting a little scared. I have feelings of inadequacy and pure excitement at the same time. I don't know if it is my pregnancy emotions hitting me or what! But it is getting to be a surreal experience. I am in my 3rd trimester already!

Sounds like you had a fabulous birthday!! You're right you can never be prepared for all it takes to be a mom, until you have your baby here. But just the fact that you are thinking about it shows how much you are ready for it. You are great with babies and kids and you have alot of love to give. Thats the most important part. Try not to stress, just take it as is comes. You will be fine!! Love you!

I'm glad you had a fun birthday! The bowling things sounds like it was fun. That's crazy you only have a couple months left until your little girl is here! I'm jealous, I still have 6 months!! I'm so happy for you though. I can't wait to meet little Kaymbree!
