50 days. (give or take)

Wow! We have 50 days until baby due day! I seriously cannot believe it! I seems so surreal to think that in 50 days I will no longer be working (for the first time since I was 14) and will be home taking care of my son. I am overwhelmed, stressed, excited, and beyond overjoyed that our family is going to grow. So with one of the biggest changes in my life about to occur I can’t help but countdown. I am truly savoring the last days with just Brady and I, I know there will be moments when I will miss them and think of the days when it was just the two of us, but I also know that once this baby is here we wouldn’t be able to imagine life without him. So, here are my 50 reasons why I am counting down:

50) 50 days of going to work and having my back ache all through the afternoon

49) 50 days of making my baby “to do” list and checking it twice

48) 50 days of dreading putting on my shoes, or painting my toenails, or picking up something on the floor because I will have to bend over and feel like I just got punched in the gut

47) 50 days of being able to eat a little extra because “the baby needs it”

46) 50 days of not wanting to go to bed because I know I will wake up in a couple hours with aching hips
