Time sure does FLY!

Wow, so Curtis and I are 34 weeks pregnant this week. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone by. Only 40 more days until we get to meet the newest member of our family. We just had our baby shower over the weekend, and for some reason, it's made me feel anxious about the due date. I think it's because your shower normally signifies the end of your pregnancy because you get those last minute items you've been needing to finish up the months worth of planning. While I am very excited to meet her, I am also holding onto the "alone" moments Curtis and I have left. It's going to be 20+ years before we have this time again together, so I'm savoring it for as long as I can. Our relationship is the most important to me and I know that Lily will appreciate having two parents who have a strong, nurtured love for one another. I can't wait to meet her. I can't wait to see the look on Curtis' face when he sees her for the first time. I can't wait to introduce her to her LARGE family. I can't wait to show her her room that Curtis and I spent hours putting together for someone we've never met, but already loved. I can't wait to see if she looks more like Curtis or me. I can't wait to take her home and see Tucker's reaction. I'm so excited for the future, but I'm loving every moment of the present too.
