As I sit here sipping my coffee, basking in the silence, all I can think about is the precious baby girl that will be joining our family later today. I am trying to savor every last moment that I have with just her, because I know once she arrives they will be few and far between. I have spent the last week trying to memorize the feeling of every little kick and movement, because I know this is it. This is the last time I will feel the incredible miracle of a tiny human growing inside of me. This is the last time I will experience the months and months of waiting to meet my son or daughter.

Everything about this pregnancy has blown my mind. I was sick on and off throughout the entire pregnancy, but it was nothing compared to what I experienced with Jettie or the twins. I gained the most weight with this pregnancy. Extreme exhaustion also occurred with this pregnancy. Now I am not sure if that was due to working 50 plus hours a week while keeping up with 3 kids under 2 or being 30 while growing a tiny human, but either way I’ve been tired. This is the first pregnancy that I’ve made it to term, and the anticipation of meeting her is starting to get to me. Not to mention, after two weeks of consistent contractions and being dilated to 4/5, I have never felt like l’ve known less about my body or when this baby will make her arrival.

But this is it! The day has finally arrived. Today I will experience all of the pain that comes with bringing a child into the world. The pain that instantly disappears the moment you hear their first cry. I’m nervous. I’m terrified. I’m excited. But more than anything, I’m ready to meet Miss Truitt Schley Forrest!
