Hello everyone! I just woke up in a fantastic mood! My count down until I have Jared home again has officially begun! It is an amazing feeling knowing after all the hardship, the deployment is at its end. Only X more days and i will never have to go to bed or wake up alone. I will never have to throw out half of a pot of coffee every morning ( Im so used to making some for Jared I always make two cups). I will have my best friend home! This calls for some Bruno Mars. He sounds so happy when he sings! Plus he has a gorgeous voice. Now I just have to get everything absolutely perfect for my man. I need to clean everything, do laundry, Get the stuff for his favorite meals, and make myself look all super sexy. Well as sexy as an 8 month pregnant woman can look. Poor Jared he left and I was so tiny. Now  I look like I have swallowed a basketball. Oh well. A lot of things are about to change for us. We only get a month and a half to our self's before our perfect baby boy arrives. Big changes are in our future, and im not going to lie im absolutely terrified! I mean I can handle babies. I have a sister who just turned two on December 4th and I took care of her a lot when she was an infant. But jeez the thought of having your own, knowing they completely depend on you for everything, is really scary. Dont get me wrong I am thrilled to have him. I want this kid out of me already. I just hope we are able to adjust quickly to the role of being parents. If any of my readers have advice on this it would be greatly appreciated. Im actually thinking I want to buy the books written by Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar. I love there show and there children are so sweet and well behaved. I want to know how they did it. I mean I am not as religious as they are, I dont think  I will incorporate that much into our daily life. I want Jared ( who is not religious) to still feel comfortable with our parenting style. I did tell him though, when I first found out that I was pregnant, that I wanted our son to know god and who he was. God is an important part of my life. I believe he is what kept Jared safe all those days in Afghanistan. I prayed for his safety every night. I feel that god answered that prayer for me. So that is why I feel it is important for Ryder to know god as well. But im putting the cart before the horse lol. Baby boy isnt even here yet. Jared and I still have plenty of time to discuss how we want to raise our son. I just cant wait until this time next year! It will be Ryders first Christmas! I cant wait to see him open his presents and eat Christmas cookies, and jam with momma to Christmas music! I know he will still be to young to understand whats going on, and he will probably be more interested in the boxes the toys come in than the actual toys themselves but still. Im excited for our first family Christmas. Ill have to subject Jared to more family photos ( which he hates). lol Im so evil. Well I must get my lazy tush off the couch and go clean something. I need to be productive! Just a heads up for those of you who might be interested. I will be blogging through out my labor. Soooo keep reading!
