22 Weeks & Feeling GREAT

Hey All! Sorry it has been so long since I've posted. One word: busy. I don't know where to start so I'll just start from one week ago when this room I am standing in (see picture) looked completely different. Now, as you can see the walls are painted a neutral natural calming green and the base boards are new. What you cannot see is the new dry wall in 2/3rds of the room, walnut wood flooring, and crown molding. I have only two words to describe how this was all accomplished in less than a week: Butch & Dad. My dad (grandpa Dan) flew in last Saturday to spend the week with Butch and I remodeling the nursery. He and Butch worked and accomplished what most people would get done in 3 weeks, in about 3 days. I swear, no joke, they worked their booties off. Butch is still (as I speak) working on some finishing touches on the room and I will snap photos later today and post them asap. I can not say thank you enough to my dedicated, selfless, and hard working dad (& mom for letting us borrower him), and my sweet, talented and hard working husband. You both are making my dreams come true. You are two of the most incredible people in my world. Love you. 

I feel so freakin lucky. It is such a blessing to have such wonderful family, friends, and support system. This little boy growing inside my belly has no idea what he is in for. Two parents that love him unconditionally. Six grandparents that are ready to give him the world (when mommy and daddy are not looking of course). And great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and even a four-legged "furry baby" (as we call him) to look out for him and be there for life. My heart is so full and open and ready to be a mom. There is so much that is out of our control, so much unknown, but I feel deeply secure in Butch and my relationship and our ability embrace these changes and grow together. To everyone who has and who will continue to give, give, and give more love than any one person deserves "thank you" and we love you!
