Monday and Motherhood

 I made it through 1 of the 6 weeks so now we're down to a max of 5 until Hutton is with us! We have a fun and exciting week ahead of us so I think this one will go by fast as well. Plus, I have a feeling that this time next week I may be showing you a 100% COMPLETE nursery! I'm very excited and it is coming together even better than I envisioned. Anyway, for all you moms on this Monday...

P.S.- Tune in tomorrow! We're attending my awesome brother-in-law's signing ceremony and then going to dinner for his birthday and I'm pretty sure Chris is going to take some pics and I'll be able to post them tomorrow!

Had to share...

Happy Friday! Boy am I glad we made it to Friday... Chris and I have a lot of work to do on the house this weekend as Hutton's arrival becomes closer and closer! 

A facebook friend that also happens to be pregnant with a boy due about 2 weeks after me posted a link to this and I couldn't possibly blog about anything else today but had to share this...

25 Rules for Mom's with Sons

If you have a son, it will probably make you cry. If you're hormonal pregnant with a little boy it will definitely make you cry. Hey, if you're a mom or soon to be mom to anyone it will probably make you tear up a bit. But, its a good read for this Friday morning.

Heartbeats

I saw this quote last week on Pinterest and haven't been able to get it out of my head since. It just amazes me the way every other thing I learn about pregnancy and motherhood has amazed me since finding out I was pregnant 26 both short and long weeks ago.

I go in Hutton's nursery everyday. Sometimes I go sit in the rocker and just feel at peace. Sometime I attempt to put something else together. Other times I go look through his clothes and imagine him wearing them. Yesterday, I put sheets on the crib and felt how soft they were and imagined him sleeping in his crib. The other night I turned all the lights off and turned on the sound machine just to imagine him in his crib sleeping to those sounds. On the sound machine one of the options is heartbeat. It brought me back to this quote. I don't even know what my heartbeat sounds like; yet, that is the most familiar and constant sound he hears. Even when he doesn't hear the Christmas music I listen to at work, or me talking to him, or Chris telling him good morning and good night and how much he loves him already- he hears my heartbeat. I pray he can tell from my heartbeat how much I already love and adore him!

I can't wait to meet our sweet little boy 10 weeks from today!
