9 Weeks & Counting....

So James is trying to keep me calm as I slowly begin to freak out because I am now in single digits when it comes to how many weeks we have left. We are really excited, but I am beginning to see that there really is no turning back now. I can't believe that we are already coming to the close of pregnancy...our little Riley will be here before we know it.

There is so much to do, we ordered the crib and mattress tonight. :0) That is exciting because we got her bedding when we came back from California. We are excited to start getting her room together for when she decides she is going to come.

I am going to the doctor every 2 weeks now. I just had an appointment today and Dr. Prince said everything looks good. Riley's heartbeat is good and strong. I have to say that she has been kicking and punching really hard lately and sometimes I feel like my stomach is bruised. Of course James laughs and says "Good Job Riley, Kick Mommy!" Isn't he so sweet? I know he is going to teach her Spanish just so they can talk crap about me. :0) Oh well....Daddy/Daughter time.

I am so excited for James to be a Dad. I know that he will be great just like our Dads are. I also hope that I can be half the Mom to Riley that my Mom and Catherine are. Parenthood is sneaking up on us quickly and I just hope I will be ready for it when it comes a knockin!
