Are you nervous?

Are you kidding?

This seems to be a popular question these days, now that I'm getting so close.
Of course I'm nervous! In fact, because my sister had both her children early, I feel I'm on edge 24/7 . . . assessing every little cramp or awkward feeling I might have. And, goodness gracious, the thought of my water breaking in front of 20 (horror stricken) first graders completely does me in . . .

Nervous? How can you not be? I've never done this before, and quite honestly I don't know what in the world to expect . . . how can anyone? I've gotten tons of advice, but you know as well as I know, that I'm not going to know what giving birth is really like until it actually happens.

I guess you could call it fear of the unknown.

But, I try not to bog myself down with worrying. What's going to happen is going to happen, and in most cases, there won't be much I can do about it.

Until then . . . I guess I'll just nest.





Wait, what does that ticker say? 44 Days?
Oh my.

I can't even imagine what you're feeling! I would, for sure, be a nervous wreck. I know everything will work perfectly though! :)

Hi there! I have been keeping up with your blog for awhile now. I am a friend of Nicole Mobley (that's how I found you). I have stolen a bunch of your decorating ideas and recipes. :) The stuffed peppers were to die for!!!!! I wanted you to know too that the baby nursery is AWESOME! You have such decorating genius. I am a Mommy of two and believe me, no matter how much advice you get it's your own experience. Relish it and love it. Good luck and I can't wait to see pictures and updates!
