30

Today is my 30th birthday. We had a great weekend celebrating early with good friends. I have to say it's definitely been a little more "subdued" than years passed but it's all worth it for Max. Speaking of Max, he has been moving around all day I guess he's been dancing around in celebration of his mama's big birthday! A little over 12 weeks and I get to meet this little guy and that's going to be the birthday to celebrate!

Fighting Urges

{via}

I have a problem. It's called ETSY! I have found so many amazing things for the nursery so far and I just can't stop! Now I am stuck on handmade toys and such. My current obsession is this rainbow sweater ball, I mean can't you just see "MAX" in place of LEO?! I have to fight the urge because I swear if I bought everything I fell in love with Max would end up with plenty of AWESOME stuff and no diapers so I digress...The nursery has really taken shape. I received the last print that I was waiting on and hopefully in the next week we will get it hung then I will post before and after pictures. The nursery has been so much fun! Every night when I go home I open the door and just stare at it. What the heck am I going to do when it's COMPLETELY done?...I guess by then the "nesting" stage will kick in and all our closets and drawers will be cleaned out from top to bottom.

99!

99 days...99 days from today is our due date...we are in the double digits and how excited we are. Because I am such a "planner" I find myself getting more and more antsy by the day in anticipation of Max's arrival. With the nursery about 85% complete I am wondering what I am going to do with the rest of these days. In the coming weekends we have my brother's wedding a couple showers and my 30th birthday weekend. I am looking forward to all of these things but they don't seem to hold a torch to our biggest event due on Oct. 13th. I sat down yesterday and figured exactly what day I will be leaving work and what day I will be coming back. With each week that passes it becomes so much more real and I truly am giddy with excitement. I am not nervous. Having a child is a LIFE-CHANGING event, but I have no worry or fear at all, I guess that's a good thing? I know there will be challenges and new territory but I welcome it almost like a new job. I can't wait to be a "mommy" to someone to be responsible for a little munchkin, our munchkin.
