28 Days

We love watching the show "30 Days." Last night we watched an episode where the host spent 30 days living in the Navajo nation. It was really interesting. The people there have such an amazing story.

In other news, we only have 28 days left until our due date. At first I was thinking Anna Joy would arrive early, I don't know why, I had a strong feeling she would. But as it gets closer I don't feel that way. And that's OK, she is measuring a little small for the amount of weeks that I am, so I'm content to have her remain in utero, packing on the baby fat.

I have felt really nostalgic lately. I think it's because I'm realizing how much in my life is about to change - but I've also paused to reflect on how much my life has changed in the past two years! I have been looking over photos of when John and I first met, my bridal shower, the wedding, and Hawaii. I feel like such a different person than the girl in those photos. I can see the areas I have grown up, and my physical appearance is much different. People say I look like a mom now. I think that's partially because of the short hair which WILL NOT be around for long. I am definitely growing it back out, I have just had to keep cutting out the dread hair this year, thus I have had a year of a short "do." I really miss my long hair, and I'm starting to get a little nervous about losing this 50 odd pounds I gained with the baby. I know it seems trivial, that it is trivial, but remember me in my attempts to return to a "normal" body. Overall though, the transformation I've gone through this year has been a really beautiful one, and I know the transformation into "mommy" will be the same.

I'm not too terribly nervous about delivery. I love my midwives, and I know John and my Mom will be a great support during labor. I have been walking every day after I drop John off at work. The weather is finally nice enough to enjoy the local park. Although, my allergies have been killing me. I feel like a zombie!

I want to try to update this blog more often. I have a friend, Tara Burch, that is a pro at blogging. I know it will be especially useful once the baby arrives to post pictures and what not.

Thanks for reading my rambling for today.
