Hard to believe we are at 34 weeks already. It is funny to think of being 8 months pregnant. So far things have been going very well. There have been a few instances of me getting sick over the past several weeks, including the cold/headache that I have right now. But overall, I can't complain because this pregnancy has been pretty much uneventful so far (not to curse myself now!)
As for things around the house, we are finally starting to get our lives and house back together. I have been slowly taking out the baby clothing and getting things washed. Also, Derek took me to get the mattress for the crib, so we would actually have a bed for him at some point! Exciting to have his room partially put together at this point. Now it is just time to get the rest of the junk that was upstairs organized and put away where it belongs. Not to mention the disaster zone in our basement that will just have to wait for a few months! haha.
On another note, Derek and I bought an SUV from my parents, so that the baby would be good and safe in an SUV. It is a lexus GX470, which is incredibly beautiful and of course amazingly taken care of by my parents. I definitely feel safe and comfortable in it, but I have to laugh because I get so many funny looks from people while I am driving it. I guess they must wonder how someone my age that is a medical student ended up with such a fancy, nice SUV. Not that I blame them.... I never expected to have such a nice vehicle, and I surely didn't think that buying an SUV was a must, seeing as how tons of people drive their babies around in cars. But, Derek wanted the baby to be safe, and it makes him feel a lot better to know that we will be driving in a bigger vehicle just in case. Very grateful and blessed that my parents sold this to us!
So, while not much has been changing in terms of the pregnancy, I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and feeling incredibly grateful for everything that I have. First of all, Michael just turned 15. Crazy to think he is getting that big already and will be starting high school in a month! He has been great lately, offering to help out with everything around our house including painting and mowing the lawn. Also, he has been really supportive and just goes along with the plan, even if it is something he doesn't really want to do. Dad took him to Canada fishing this weekend with his buddy, so I am excited to hear all about their adventures when they get back. Also, Derek just turned 27. Again, incredible to think that we are already in our late 20s. Seems like just yesterday we were the ones that were 15 and dreaming about our futures. Of course, this got me thinking back to when we were 15, and just had started dating. As a teenager, I often thought about what my future would look like. I imagined marrying prince charming, who I thought I had found at the age of 15, and starting a family in our house in the suburbs with a great back yard where our kids could grow up, and of course being close to our families. Little did I know at the age of 15 that this would actually be what my life would look like! There is a lot of people who criticize Disney for allowing little girls to imagine their lives with prince charming and the perfect life, but funny to think that these little dreams sometimes come true. I am incredibly grateful to say that my life has so far gone just like a Disney movie. I am glad to have found the man of my dreams at a much younger age than expected. He has been everything I could hope for in a husband and has supported me in medical school even on the days that I question myself. Also, here we are, about to celebrate our 1st anniversary, and also about to celebrate the joy of bringing our first baby into the world. We are living in an amazing home in a safe neighborhood, close to both of our families. Really, life is a dream come true at this point. Sure, we both work hard at our jobs and I get exhausted by medical school somedays. But I truly never would have expected my life to be as perfect as it is right now. Definitely feeling blessed. I can't wait to meet our little guy in 6 (or less) weeks, and teach him to be a wonderful little man just like his daddy.
Thank you to my husband, our families, and our friends of making us truly blessed everyday!
Happy 1st Anniversary to my incredible husband on August 6th!
Baby Johnson will be joining us shortly, due September 9th, 2012!
