It's all Down Hill from here!

This week is what I will refer to as the Down Hill - meaning that this week is the beginning of my third trimester and it is all down hill from here!! Looking back time has flown by, really it has! But at current date it seems to have stopped or paused which until the nursery is complete is fine but as soon as that is finished I am praying time will begin to fly by again so we can meet little Adrian.

Today is actually a big day at the Hamilton household- nursery is being painted for the second time (hope I love it!) and my glider comfy chair is being delivered. Of course I am not there for any of this since I am at the office but my superhero husband is there holding the fort down as Supervisor. Everything is finally coming together so after this weekend I will begin to post pictures of her room with the new paint, chair, chair rail (that our fabulous friends the Koslans helped us put up- thank you again!), and new drapes that my mom picked out from Pottery Barn. I can actually begin to cross things off of my list- what a great feeling!

I still can't believe that we are having a baby. I know it sounds funny hearing me say that especially since I am looking down at my huge tummy and have trouble getting in and out of chairs but its true. Every once in while I will get an out of body moment where all things don't line up and I say to myself "Wow, is this really happening? Am I going to be responsible for someone elses life? Am I going to be someones Mom?" It is during these fleeting moments that panic begins to set in. The panic revolves around uncertainty-the not knowing of what kind of parent I am going to be and will my mommy instincts kick in like they say they should. I have heard that all new moms go through this doubt at one point or another and I am positive that the moment our baby girl takes her first breath that I will immediately forget who I was before and will instantly become the mother that I want to be and know I can be. So until that ever changing life moment takes place I will prepare as best I can and day dream about the fantastic future that is waiting for my family.

Next doctors appointment is on Tuesday for my glucose test. This is the last of the monthly visits as I will begin to go every 2 weeks after this. I am praying that this glucose test goes well because diabetes runs in my family and I have been so lucky with a wonderful pregnancy so far I don't want anything bad to ruin it. I will update as soon as we know!

Have a great weekend and a fabulous Friday!
