Time is just flying by..

Yesterday I had my 7 mo prenatal visit. I'm now in my third trimester which means its all down hill from here. I talked with my nurse practitioner about counting kicks and tracking contractions. I also filled out my birth plan which was super easier filling out the second time around. It just blows my mind to think about all of this because that means I'm just "that" much closer to having my little girl here! I'm excited to see what she looks like..I'm excited to see Ryan with her for the first time and over the moon excited to see my TWO children interact with each other. I'm in semi disbelief that I will soon have another child other than my son to call me "mom." I'm not worried about anything other than going in to labor naturally. With my son, I was 10 days late and had to be induced. I guess I just keep playing in my mind that I'll be out at the store while on maternity leave with Nicolas and my water will break (like you see in the movies) weird to compare knowing this is my second pregnancy and how I know "it" is NOTHING like what Hollywood portrays. In all reality, I think I'm getting anxious to see my little girl and hold her and smell her...(i told Ryan the other night that I honestly cannot wait to smell her) I think that's something only moms can really understand because the look he gave me was anything but understanding. All I know is that soon I will experience falling in love all over again when I see my daughter's face. It's truley surreal that I am on this journey of motherhood. A few years ago I knew I wanted to be a momma but never would I imagine where I am today. Feeling so grateful for how our family is continuing to grow. Although I want to live in the moment as much as possible I can't help but look forward to all the great things that we have in store for us.
