Communication Returns!

After 4 months of no internet capabilities on Ryan's end, it was pretty awesome to wake up to this. <3 I've been walking around with a smile that glows like halo headlights. Finally seeing his face again after months of hit or miss phone calls has been a breath of fresh air, and having fairly regular communication has been such a relief after the weeks of silence that were common during the last few months. Things are finally wrapping up, and we're both getting really excited about homecoming. A couple like us just shouldn't be apart; it's torturous!

I attended my last childbirth class tonight. I have my last 2 week OBGYN appointment on the 11th of next month, and after that I'll be in the home stretch at 36 weeks pregnant with weekly appointments and the possibility of going into labor at any moment. Ah! I can't believe it's here already! It feels like just yesterday I hyperventilated at my reflection in the bathroom mirror as the two lines appeared on that home pregnancy test. And in a few short weeks I will be someone's mother for the rest of my life. I will have a bond to Ryan like we only imagined having before. And life is going to be different. But good different. Amazing different. Different in all the ways we ever wanted. Life will be good when I can have my daughter in my arms and be wrapped up in my husband's embrace simultaneously. Everything will be right with the world in that moment. A moment that cannot come fast enough.
