This mama has been sick for the last week which has been awful. When you're pregnant you can't take any of the good drugs so I get to just sit here with my box of kleenex and cough drops. Good times.
We spent New Years eve in Ames and then drove to MN on Sunday to spend a few days with my family. I didn't get to hold my sweet little nephew Max at all because I didn't want to get him sick. That was sad. Hopefully I didn't pass my germs on to any of the other kiddos! It was so fun to have all of my family together. I just wish that I had felt better.
We have our baby shower on Saturday which I'm pretty excited for. Pat's sister Kelly did all the planning so we'll see what she had up her sleeve!
Pat made the comment last night about how quiet our house was and I think we'll both miss that a little bit. I think we both have a little bit of sadness mixed in with all of the excitement. We are both so excited to meet this baby and become parents but there's that little piece of sadness knowing that our lives will never look like they do now. I think this is pretty natural when you're on the edge of a major life change but a little part of me feels guilty that I'm sad about having a baby. It's been just Pat and I for 3 years so it's a little difficult to imagine another person in our little circle.
Pat and I "celebrated" our 3 year anniversary on Tuesday by driving home from MN. We've found that the disadvantage of having a wedding anniversary so close to a holiday is that it makes any type of special celebration difficult. At least at this point in our lives. I think that we've spent every anniversary so far driving somewhere! Hopefully one day we'll get to do something more celebratory.
