+/- 6 weeks!

The last couple of weeks have been emotionally intense with what's happened with babies Paislee and Rylee. My heart breaks for my sister-in-law and my cousin as they have been going through some really tough situations. I can't even imagine what each of them have been dealing with, it just doesn't seem fair.
With everything going on it's been difficult for me not to think/worry about the things that could go wrong with my little one. I know worrying doesn't help anything so as I continue to pray for my family members, I'm also praying and having faith that our baby girl is healthy in my womb and she can and will arrive with no complications! No matter what, I know that if God brings us to it, He will bring us through it!


In the mean time I'm just trying to maintain positive thoughts, and with that said, here is a little excerpt from one of the pregnancy email blasts I recieve each week:

"Hi Corri, you're 34 weeks pregnant!
Baby's now the size of a honeydew!
Baby can recognize and react to simple songs...time to start practicing your lullabies! In fact, baby will recognize frequently sung tunes after birth and probably find them soothing."

Reading this warms my heart! I sing to my sweet girl every day and there is one song in particular that I have been singing to her throughout my entire pregnancy. It's so awesome to think that she may recognize mommy's special song when I sing it to her now! Oh, I can't wait to sing to her while I'm holding her in my arms! :)

I'll never be able to thoroughly express what an amazing experience being pregnant has been. Maybe it's especially fantastic for me because I've been dreaming of it my whole life, I don't know. Since we're so close to the end now I'm getting more and more excited about getting to see what she looks like and hold her and kiss her face... but at the same time I'm not sure that I'm ready to have to share my baby girl with anyone else. Is that silly? Oh well if it is because that's how I feel :p I mean, as it is right now, I get to hold her ALL the time - she's all mine! I'm the only one who knows her schedule. I know (at lease some of) the things that she likes and dislikes. We have a special thing going on, just the two of us, and I'm not sure I'm ready to allow anyone else to get in on that, haha. Okay, reading all this back I'm sure this just sounds completely crazy but I don't care.

Okay, that's it for now, lots to be done...
