30 Weeks

Baby Pep,

Today, I'm in my 30th week of pregnancy with you. I don't know why but that "3" is really freaking me out. You're going to be here in 2ish months! As much as I don't feel ready for you (and honestly, never will), I do have to say that I'm looking forward to you being Earthside and getting my regular ol' body back. Up until this last week or so, you've been so good to me. But I'm finally starting to catch on to why everyone talks about how difficult pregnancy is. Fatigue, an overactive bladder, constipation, gas, hemorrhoids, heartburn, backaches...not to mention feeling quite large and in charge. Baking you isn't easy! All I can say is, you better be worth it, kid ;)

Your Daddy and I have made the decision to hunker down and spend as much time with each other as possible from here on out. We have the rest of our lives to see friends and family, but only two more months of being a family of two. I know it's a little selfish, but I do enjoy having your Daddy all to myself. He's my best friend in the world and I relish his company. As we lay in bed at night watching Top Chef (our nightly ritual), we cuddle and smother each other with kisses and dream aloud about the days when you'll be in bed snuggling with us. 

The days and weeks to come are going to be busy ones, but I promise to document every moment so maybe one day you can read this and re-live your little life inside my tummy. Love you, little one.
