Fleeting stage of parenthood

As hard as the last few weeks of pregnancy is, and as anxious as I am to have my son in my arms, I know I will miss this fleeting stage of life. The little jolts and kicks, a constant reminder that I am growing this baby inside of me. And not to mention the sweet and humble smiles and help given by complete strangers at the grocery store, bank, church, etc. I know the next couple of weeks will be physically and emotionally tough but I am confident in my role as a mother and can't wait for this journey to start. I am so happy we've had many opportunities to capture this fleeting stage of parenthood through blog posts and photos. Thanks to Chris at Hat Creek Photography for these great memories! (I was 36w5d in the outdoor photos and 38w1d in the indoor ones)























Now come on baby Hart... I think August 2nd is a great birthday!

You wanna know something??? With my boy, I specifically prayed that he would be born on a Saturday...it was when my husband would be home, wouldn't have to miss work, and some other "convenient details"....And wouldn't you know, I woke up in labor just minutes after midnight on that specific day. Point being, I'll pray that it's today for you. ;)

I can't wait to see you as a mother...I have no doubt you'll excell tremendously!!! Hugs!

Love these pics!! So adorable. It's going to be so great to look back at these when he's leaving for college... So crazy to think the time will probably fly. In fact, I'm not even going to think about it because it makes me teary-eyed to think just how fast the time has gone already with my kiddos. I love looking at my old maternity photos, I'm seriously in amazement of them.

You are SO very gorgeous! And you are right on...even though the last few weeks is so uncomfortable and you're so ready for them to just be here already, I really do miss it. I miss his little kicks and punches, and exactly what you said...the overall kindness of strangers. But having him here is so much better, and I can't WAIT for you to experience it! Good luck little Mama!!!
