simply put

Lately, I've found myself in a state of constant exhaustion. It's hard work making a human. But what's funny (or not so funny) is that I lay in bed completely wiped out from the day and my body resists the sleep I so desperately want and need. What is that all about? My mind just won't turn off.

It hit me pretty hard today that I have just over 6 weeks left until I meet our precious little guy. I can't believe it's so close. Part of me wishes I could have a little bit more time...am I really ready to be a mother?? And then the answer hits me. "You bet I am!"

Yes, I know that being a mom isn't easy. I've heard the "you just wait until he gets here and then you'll understand..." statements. I know I'm going to have sleepless nights and long, hard days. I understand that my obsession with organization and cleanliness will have to take a back seat. I will probably want to lock myself in the bathroom and cry at some point during the first few weeks of this new journey. And I know I will never be a perfect mother

but...

isn't it all worth it?

I can't wait for this new journey. I can't wait to grow and learn and enjoy. I can't wait to experience love in a whole new way.

Simply put...

I can't wait...
