Right now

* I am almost 30 weeks pregnant.

* Hazel has started to move with purpose and force. This girl can roll, kick, and punch with the best of them! It has been so amazing to feel (and see) more substantial movements.

* I love hearing Erik talk to our baby girl, telling her stories of what is to come.

* Decorating her room has become a new favorite hobby (read obsession).

* My back hurts. I know, I'm pregnant what do I expect, but it's true.

* We still have a lot of organizing to do before she arrive. Thanks Alison, for pointing out the stuff on the bed!

* More than anything, my curiosity is growing. I'm continually wondering something about how our lives will change in just over two months. What does she look like? Who does she look like? What will she smell like? How much will she eat, sleep, poop? How fast will she have us wrapped around her finger? Will all of my training with kids work at all with my own child? How fast can I fall in love with her?

* There are so many changes on the horizon, it's hard to settle into my life today.

* I am thankful and blessed!

I'm glad I could point out the mess in your extra room. It isn't even that bad, you can have that cleaned up super quick.

I am very excited to meet my little niece!

So excited for you! I remember all of those same thoughts and feelings. It is so wonderful to finally meet your child face to face. It is impossible to describe. :)
