TIme is ticking away...

Maybe I'll blog more after the baby is here....

So, not too much longer. Just about five weeks. It's very scary and exciting all at the same time. I got a little weepy the other day on the way to work. I was thinking about how excited I was about Avery making her grand entrance and meeting her and holding her and hearing her cry for the first time- and I got a little sad. Not that I'm selfish, but sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in how hard pregnancy can be. I thought back to the day we found out we were pregnant, and when she went to Italy with us- it was there that I felt her move for the first time, and now- a foot in my ribs and a tiny little bottom poking out of my belly. I think I will really miss having her all to myself. I know, I know it does sound selfish.
But I also can't wait for Blake to hold her and get to experience our blessing. I think he's going to be such a good dad- he's so fun and goofy. She's going to adore him. I can see it now- Blake and Avery singing at the top of their lungs. He's going to have her hooked on college football. And he's going to love her so much and always let her know how much- that is something Blake is very good at- letting you know how much you are loved.

I hope she loves us as much as we already love her... I hope we will be the best parents we can be. God has blessed our lives so much already, I can't believe he's giving us Avery.
