6.5 Months Pregnant!!

     I can't believe I am already 6.5 months pregnant and that our shower is next month!!! I AM SO EXCITED to open all the wonderful baby gifts we will receive! I can't wait to start setting up the babies room, CAN'T WAIT!! I have a vision of what it is going to look like, now all I have to do is make that vision happen! I have thought hard about the types of books I want them to have, the kinds of toys I want them to play with, and the blankets I want them to be comfortable in.
      Now there is a lot of waiting. To be honest the time has gone pretty fast, but now that the days are growing shorter, the time can't go by fast enough. I am well aware of how hard it is to raise a baby and that it isn't all about cute outfits and nice toys, however this doesn't stop me from being super pumped to start our family. Seeing Nathan talk and kiss my belly, only goes to show how excited and how wonderful Nathan will be as a parent.
     Today was the first day that someone that I didn't know actually asked me when I was due! I was excited because it meant that not only is the baby belly very noticeable and real to me and Nate, but others can see the appearance and reality of the pregnancy as well! 
     I have to admit the only thing I can think about lately is our next sonogram, which is on Christmas Eve! I can't wait to see our baby on such a special day. It has been two months since we have seen the little one, so Christmas Eve will be a long time overdue. Being able to take home photos to share with the family over the holiday will make the wait well worth it.
     I know 6.5 months means we still have a ways to go, but it also means we already have that much time behind us. It is crazy to think that in a couple of months it is no longer Nathan and I, no longer the two of us. It will be the three of us, we will be a family of three!! Just the idea of everything is overwhelming, but overwhelming in the best way!!
