Single Digits! Wow!!!

So check out the blinky! --------------------------------->

Single digits... 9 DAYS!!! I have had a countdown in my head since we reached 100 days, I woke up at 4 am this morning thinking oh my gosh, only 9 more days until this little guy is suppose to make his grand entrance! I seriously couldn't piece it together. I started thinking of everything that I have experienced throughout the pregnancy and went back to the day that started it all.

Mark and I were headed up to California for his brother's 30th b-day, I was already late but for me it was normal so I really wasn't thinking much of it, however I knew there was the possibility of drinking at his brothers party so Mark and I decided to go ahead and test just in case. We stopped at Wal-Mart on the way to the airport and got a Pregnancy test at like 4:00 am! As soon as we got to the airport and were through security I went into the bathroom and took the test... and what do you know... TWO PINK LINES! :) Ever since those two pink lines, it's been a roller coaster of emotions, heartburn, nausea, frozen grapes and MnM's :) doctor's appointments, ultrasounds, everything from hearing his heartbeat for the first time, putting together his crib, finding out he is indeed a BOY, finishing his Nursery, installing the carseat, cleaning out a cabinet for his things in the kitchen and in the bathroom and now just sitting here, looking at the finish line and just patiently waiting until it's our turn to cross it! Of course I know there will be another series of finish lines we will have to embark upon once he is here and as ready as I am to start on those, I am scared to death to finally be able to cross this first one.

I am so sad to see the pregnancy coming to an end as I have enjoyed being pregnant so much! (Of course I think I could have done without the heartburn and gagging) I am really going to miss his squirminess, all his little kicks and punches. I am going to miss looking down and seeing a belly :( I will miss those comfy maternity clothes too! ;) So I am officially crying now just thinking of how much our lives are about to change, yet I am getting really anxious and looking forward to the next few weeks. Being able to end this chapter and starting the next one with our little boy in our arms!
