Looking forward to: Picking up the baby bed this weekend, figuring out/rearranging our furniture to make room for baby, new work schedule starting in June! 

 

It's moving so quickly, and each day that passes I get more and more excited about the Bean's arrival. It's even more amazing to watch Mr. B get more and more excited about the Bean's arrival and it's so sweet to watch him talk and love on my belly. The baby flips & kicks EVERY SINGLE TIME he talks to it. It's hilarious and incredible. 

 

Mr. B has been amazing - I mean, I already knew I had a fantastic husband before we got pregnant cause I'm a lucky girl. But he has gotten even more amazing as time goes on, won't let me do certain things - helps me get up when I'm struggling, etc. I am so incredibly blessed to have this man in my life. 

 

He is my greatest gift and I know he's going to make an amazing Daddy!  I'm so excited for this next chapter in our life. :o) <3
