Daddy's excited too!

Joe doesn't have the time he wishes he had to add to the blog, but that doesn't mean he isn't just as excited about little boy as I am.  Sometimes I forget about that because I am so focused on the little guy inside of me and my own feelings.  However, any time I start to think I'm the only one anxiously awaiting little boy's arrival, Joe goes and does something that reiterates how much he loves his son and can't wait to meet him either.  He spent all day Sunday cleaning and organizing baby things.  Which I appreciate so much because I can barely move around now.  He then threw me for a loop when he came in a with a list of items I need for my "go bag".  He's really done his research and I was happy to know he's so engaged in the process of little boy's birth.  Tonight he showed me the organic outfits he picked out and ordered for little boy, and this Little Shrimp one was my favorite!

He is so supportive of my crazy insistence on organic clothes and body care.  He ordered a little organic monkey lovey and gripe water for his son.  I know we all imagine how our spouse will be for certain things, but Joe has really exceeded even the dreams I had for this.  I know he will be an equal partner in caring for our baby and I am so appreciative to have someone so supportive and loving to share this journey with.

As to how I'm feeling...I feel really good.  I still enjoy every kick and squirm, and as he gets bigger and bigger the stretches and kicks are now really dramatic.  I laugh out loud when he makes my stomach roll like a wave.  When I say this pregnancy has been great, I can't emphasize it enough.  Maybe it's because I wanted it so much that nothing can rain on my parade, but I think in general I've just been really lucky and I don't take a minute of it for granted.

We have less than 3 weeks until his due date and I am having a hard time staying patient.  I am just looking forward to meeting this little guy so much that waiting is becoming a dirty word.   I know it's worthwhile for little boy to have as much time "on the inside" as possible, but boy are we excited to meet him.  I just look forward to showing him how very much he was loved and wanted every day!!! 18 days and counting...
