37 Weeks...FULL TERM!!!

Image
I cried on the way to work. NOT because I am unhappy, that is not the case by any means, BUT because TODAY I am considered FULL TERM!!! ♥ HOLY CRAP! I cannot believe this has gone by so fast! I am going enjoy this huge belly, swollen feet, heartburn after drinking water, high blood pressure, and EVERYTHING else comes along in the next couple weeks because I’m pretty sure we are going to have a HEALTHY & I’m sure pretty HANDSOME little man!!! :) ♥ FULL TERM! My due date is still 3 weeks away so I know that doesn’t mean a lot, but it gives some peace of mind. This little man could be born anytime now with lungs mature enough to likely be just fine.

Card Keepsake Project Everyone says that the first born in the family has the most thorough documentation of her early years of life. Look at any family’s photo albums and you’ll find that Baby #1 by far exceeds subsequent siblings representation in these books. The first has the undivided attention of the parents.

I also save cards.   I was just thinking and really got the idea from pinterest, I had a collection of beautiful, loving cards I wanted to save to read one day. I created this mini-album, I started with my baby shower cards! Luca will have such an amazing chronicle of his childhood & beyond. I will continue to create and explore ideas till the day Im gone. I kept this album very simple, but the possibilities are endless....
