I think it is still surreal to me, even though I am clearly 36 weeks pregnant in so many ways, that we are having a baby! I am just still in awe of this miracle baby!
Here are some things that I want to remember about this pregnancy and things that I am so thankful for (some in a weird way!)...
1. I have had an intense sweet tooth during pregnancy, which is soooo not me! I would always pass up dessert before and now....well....I can't resist the sweets!
2. I have put on an excessive amount of weight...including an 8 pound weight gain between 2 week doctor appointments!
3. Maternity clothes that looked like they would never fit in the beginning are put away because I have now outgrown them!
4. Tatum is super active! We love to just watch my belly move. Sometimes I wonder if there really is only 1 baby in there because I can't figure out his acrobatics!
5. I haven't been able to wear my wedding rings in a really long time and can't wait to wear them again!
6. We have had so much fun getting Tatum's room ready and putting together his swing, bouncy, pack and play, and stroller!
7. Baby items require a lot of batteries!
8. Baby items take up a lot of space. I feel like we are outgrowing our house quickly!
9. I am measuring a cm big. The doctor says this could be a big baby!
10. I am a little scared and anxious about the "unknown" that is labor and delivery.
11. Walking 30 minutes a day is hard...really hard!
12. My hands and feet/ankles like to swell a lot!
13. I love the smell of Dreft and have had a lot of fun washing all of Tatum's clothes.
14. Tatum has a ton of clothes! Maybe more than his mommy and daddy! :)
15. God is preparing me for less sleep as sleep is hard these days because of discomfort.
We are so thankful, overwhelmed, humbled, blessed....I could go on and on. I can't wait to post pictures of our sweet little man! That will be a surreal day for me because I honestly wasn't sure when or if I would get to blog posting pictures of my own baby! God is so good!

So wonderful! I get a sweet tooth too when I'm pregnant and nursing.
Yay! So good to "hear" from you. I love your excitement and can't wait to see him.
Yes,God has answered so many prayers. I also cannot wait for you to hold him in your arms. You are such an amazing mommy already. I love you so much!!
Love it. Thanks for the reminders of what it's like to be waiting on the unknown! That took my back to 4 years ago at one of the sweetest parts of my life...waiting on my firstborn son! And he was 10 lbs. We may have similar stories...ha!
Hey girl! I love reading your list of things you want to remember. Most of them make me laugh because I've gone through most of them and know exactly what you're talking about. lol
Especially the gaining weight part and sweet tooth (that was mostly with Keira's pregnancy). You both are blessed and we're so excited to see you both be blessed with baby Tatum soon! I can't wait for you both to be in that moment of pure overwhelming/cloud 9 bliss the moment he arrives into this world. It's a feeling you both will never feel anywhere else. Meeting a part of you both that you love more than anything for the first time...it's just AWESOME! So happy for ya'll. Love you girl! Call me if you want to relieve some anxiety and nervousness about labor and delivery. You know I'll be here for you. :o)
