It Won't Be Like This For Long

Yes, I am quoting the one and only Hootie this morning :)! It just really fits a lot of things going on in my tinly little world today!!!

*I am really missing my wonderful husband right now. Yesterday afternoon he stopped by to give Jack and I some love (hugs and kisses) before heading to Pickwick. I can't believe that the Spring trip is already here, that right now he is playing Clifton with the guys, and that we prepared yet another Italian feast for him to take. Sure he will only be gone until Sunday, but it never changes the fact that I will always like it better when he is home :). He is my best friend, my comforter, and the secret to our happy marriage is that we are a team!!! One realizes that even more when they are 8 1/2 months pregnant :)!! So, while it won't be a long trip or that long until I am in his arms again, I still miss him. If he wasn't so gosh darn AMAZING!!!

*I am really tired this morning! There is no need to go into all of the details, but let's just say I got a whopping 2 to 2 1/2 hours of sleep last night. It was a culmination of a lot of things, but it all boils down to I am a "mommy" to my sweet boy and I am carrying another little guy who will soon recognize me as "mommy" too. So, yes I am 34 weeks pregnant today and yes I still have six weeks to go and yes finding my "happy place" to sleep is nearly impossible. However, it won't be long until my pregnant belly is gone and someday (sooner than I will want) my boys will not wake up in the wee hours of the morning insisting that they need a band aid for an imaginary boo boo. Yes, I am definitely tired this morning but I am also thankful that this tired is from two of God's blessings; Vance and Jack!

*It is May 1st and in 21 days I will go on Maternity Leave!:)! I am looking forward to a couple of weeks of just time before Jack arrives. However, I am stepping away from one of the things I do best...coordinating. I will be coordinating once Jack is here on a much deeper level, but I will miss my volunteers and coordinating their chance to make a difference.

All this to say that on this first day of May when the rain is coming down and I am enjoying a MUCH NEEDED diet coke, I am trying to enjoy every moment of what I know will pass quicker than I would like.
