Those Moments

I love life!

I can't say I am happy with the outcome of every experience, but it truly is amazing when you sit back and reflect.

I have always been a very deep and emotional person, and do not deal well with the word "end."

I had a rough time leaving high school, leaving University of Georgia, leaving New York...basically "ending" a chapter in my life is not easy for me.

I have had a very blessed life thus far, and that is why I never want things to "end."

There have been bumps, minor and major, but I know I am a very "rich" person for having been through those experiences.

What I do deal well with are my favorite moments in life. The very few that just take your heart away.

No one could have prepared me for what I felt when I saw "Baby Girl Kite" during the ultrasound.

The pregnancy so far has been unreal! I have been so blessed that for 24 weeks I have not had one episode of nausea. Honestly, I have been so busy at times I forgot I was pregnant. I keep telling "Baby Girl Kite" how well she is behaving. She knows mommy is on the road :-).

Therefore, it did not hit me until March 30th that "this is real."

I laughed. I cried. I laid there in silence. I was in awe of what was inside me. I swear she waved at us as well.

I think I used all of my minutes and texts that day telling everyone how pretty she is. Jim just laughed at me, and jokingly told me to stop telling people that.  She is pretty cute though :-).

I needed that moment.

"Those Moments" come so rarely that you forget how precious life really is...

This is not the "end" of 7-8 months of traveling each year, or the "end" of Jim and I doing whatever we want (when we are actually in the same city ;-)).

This is the "beginning" of something beautiful.

I am not sure I can wait until August to meet her.
