Time Doesn't Stop

Is life moving at a supersonic pace for anyone else?? Is it just me? I can't believe how quickly everything is going by. I feel like as soon as a new month starts it's already ending. Is it seriously the end of May already?

I'm not ready for June. At all. June means that it's almost July. And July means BABY!

People everywhere keep saying "Are you ready?" "Is the nursery ready?" "Do you have everything set up?" ...Well here's your answer to all of those questions: NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT!! I'm not ready in the least. I have no furniture. No bed or changing table, no rocker or bassinet. Nothing. Zippo. Can you tell I'm a wee bit freaking out?

The nursery is still littered with nail guns and paint cans, tarps and brushes/rollers. It's a construction zone. I can only pray that my sisters pregnancies have not been a forshadowing of my own. Hopefully Miss Brylee will cook for her full 9 months. At least give me 'til 38 weeks baby girl. I'm. Not. Ready.

I am so so thankful that I've had such a laid back, stress free pregnancy. So far everything is going perfectly normal. The first trimester was a little rough, what with the morning sickness and the extreme tiredness. I won't lie, I didn't believe ANY of you that told me I would get my energy back. But I did return to normal around month 5. Not that normal is all that energetic for me, because it's not. Instead, I don't feel like I ran a marathon by 3 every afternoon.

I've been blessed with a body-type that has allowed me to put on very little weight. Don't worry, I'm still eating plenty and my Dr says that everything is progressing normally. But my belly is nice and small, a lot of the time I hardly even notice it's there. I have a little bit of side/back pain some days at work, but that is mostly due to having to sit at a desk all day. I count myself extremely blessed to have made it through my 7th month of pregnancy with very minimal discomfort. I even spent the last two weeks at our deer lease, riding 4-wheelers, sitting in lawn chairs & sleeping on an air mattress. Oh yea, and peeing on trees until the toilet got installed =] I am SUPERRRR pregnant woman, hear me ROOOAAARR! =]

It's hard for me to believe that I only have 9 weeks left. I know those weeks are going to go by so quickly!! Hopefully all of the nursery and baby equipment will be set up/acquired in the next week or two and then I can start saying 'come onnnn Brylee, I'm READY!'

In the meantime, I'll try to stay as comfortable as possible & get as much rest as I can before our little girl makes her appearance.

Sorry this post is so long... just thought I'd give anyone who was interested a baby/pregnancy update!

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!!
