5 months. In 5 months from today this little miracle in the making is due. Wow. It’s kind of a lot to take in- to think about how wonderfully different our lives will be in 5 short months. All the waiting, praying, hoping will come down to that one day. All I can say and think is YAY!!!!!!! And hey, it’s ok with me if the babe wants to wait or come earlier than 5 months from today– you just keep baking as long as you need sweet thing! 

It’s also crazy to think that we’re almost halfway there — 20 weeks is just around the corner! Now that I’m feeling better and not as exhausted it’s going by so.fast!  I hear it only goes by faster when you watch your little one grow bigger everyday! 

Oh if anyone reading this who has been pregnant before will understand this: but the prego hormones are a real thing! I always cry when I see this Amazon commercial: 

And I cry at stupid things!! For example, Laryen was watching a show about the ocean and it was talking about how a mama octopus lays 100,000 eggs and then lays by them for 6 months, never leaves, never eats- all it does is care for its babies. Then the babies are born AND THE MAMA OCTUPUS DIES!!!! Yes, just dies. Then it showed some big starfish eating its body. How.sad.is.that?! Not really sad for a normal person but for me? Oh the saddest thing in the world! “She sacrificed herself just for her babies,” I say to Laryen through my tears. He just smiles. (I think he’s also caught me crying at heartfelt McDonalds commercials too). Oh hormones.
