2017 – the year of the baby!! 

Wow, can’t believe January is here! Laryen and I are going to be parents – is this real life? I remember when it became 2016. So much excitement for us to start our journey. And now, one year later our little miracle and embryo that could is about to celebrate its birthday! 

Baby has dropped (as you can tell from this week’s picture!) I can anchor the news so much easier because I can breathe again! It’s crazy to think how scrunched up my diaphragm has been the past few months. I’ve also been having some pretty strong contractions. They don’t last long but definitely can notice them at the top of my uterus and into my back. We’ll see what the doctor says this week if we’re progressing at all. Now we’re going to the doctor every week so that must mean it’s almost time! 

Excited, nervous, scared, anxious, on cloud 9, surreal feeling — that’s how I feel lately. I’m guessing other moms-to-be felt that way when it was less than a month out. But mostly I just feel blessed. I can’t wait for little baby embie to feel blessed with so much love from all the wonderful people who we are lucky enough to call our family and friends – YOU. Thank you, every one of you. ❤️
