Cash is approximately 18 inches long and 4 3/4 pounds (the size of an average cantaloupe) It is crazy just how big that is inside my belly. Movements now are not so much kicks as waves of Baby C shifting into a more comfortable position.
With it being 108 degrees plus this weekend, my wedding rings are not fitting as they should. Friday night I had to soak them off in ice water so today I decided to wear them around my neck. They are closer to my heart this way, right? hehe
This week has been fairly low key but the out pour of love I was feeling from last weekend has carried over to this week. I had some nice at home time with the hubs and feeling more in love than ever. I know just how precious these last weeks are for us preparing for becoming a family of three. The last month or so had been hard for me. I was more emotional and experiencing thoughts I should not about whether becoming parents was the right thing for us. I was feeling disconnected from my husband. I love all of the people in my life but of course my husband is number one and feeling that was not what I thought would ever happen. I expressed my feelings and I am feeling so much better. Not much really has changed and we can laugh most of it off now instead of me crying at the drop of a hat. I realized that just because I am the one carrying our child does not mean this is not difficult for him. No one asks how he is and once Cash is here no one will ask how I am - it's all about the baby ;)
Today my amazing BFF and photographer did some maternity pics. Not that there are not enough of this belly but we had some images that we knew we wanted to do (that didn't include food). So tonight we played around a bit in the heat and then a cool refreshing pool. True friends can wear soaked to the skin white clothing and not feel modest. I am certain it was not pretty. We had a great time and soon her Sunday's will be free to be with her family. I cannot put a value on what these weekly progression shoots have meant to me and how lucky I am she has tolerated it. Cash will thank you I promise :)

Life is unpredictable but the one true constant thing I have in life is the love for my husband, my best friends and family. Love really is all you need...

And no one could look better in soaked white clothes while 8 months pregnant. ;)
