Enjoying The Moment

For the last couple of weeks, I have often found myself not really stopping to smell the roses very often. I justified it by how ridiculously hot it is outside (I pretty much don't go outside unless I'm going from point A to point B) and how it often seems like I'm the only person in the world who hasn't had her baby yet... not to mention all of the third trimester discomforts that have finally hit me full force. (I pretty much don't sleep at all, I'm in desperate need of a pedicure, and I move around like I'm 1000 years old). Also, as we've been preparing for this baby and the baby's room gets more and more stocked up with adorable baby blue items, it's really hard to appreciate the moment that I'm in right now since I just want this baby to be here already!

Well, I've decided that this needs to change. There is SO much to enjoy about NOW.... like the fact that me and Michael get wonderfully ridiculous amounts of time together for the rest of the summer. This is going to happen again....... when he retires? Yeah, it'll probably be that long. My baby shower is in two days, and our anniversary in three. Oh, and I get to pretty much do whatever I want all day, even if it's to just sit around and watch movies while my baby rolls around in my belly. It's pretty great. Life is good. I have no doubt that it'll be even better once Baby Byram makes his appearance, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy these next three weeks(ish) as well.

So, here's to enjoying the moment. I have so much to be thankful for.

And here are a couple pictures of our summer adventures. (bowling and a picnic.... yes, I braved the heat for a few minutes....)
