Well, here we are at week 37! We've officially made it to full term! I wanted to write a quick update post since I haven't really done one in awhile.
Things are all set for Baby Schmitt's arrival...the nursery is completed, our bags are packed, and car seat installed! All we need now is our baby boy :)
Since I'm coming down to the final weeks (maybe even days!) I've been thinking a lot about how fortunate I am to have had such a great pregnancy (praying that my delivery is the same!). I'm really not sure if I am in the minority or in the majority with other mamas when I say that I have truly enjoyed being pregnant. Now, don't get me wrong - the aches and pains and just general uncomfortableness of pregnancy is not exactly what I would call fun,
and my 1st trimester of "morning" sickness wasn't exactly glamorous -
BUT through it all, I've actually been enjoying these last 9 months.
Yucky symptoms and all.
It
is pretty amazing to think that our little boy will be here any week/day now. I'm not sure if there will be any more "pregnancy" posts on the blog, so if this post does turn out to be my last pregnancy related post, I just want to say thank you to all those that have been on this journey with us these last 9 months. It's been fun to share all of these pregnancy milestones with friends and family, and this blog has allowed me to keep much of these memories in one place. I do plan to continue blogging after Baby Schmitt's arrival, and am looking forward to sharing many photos, milestones, and memories in the months/years to come.
It's almost time little guy...let the countdown begin!
Here I am at 34.5 weeks on my final wedding weekend of 2012. It feels unbelievably surreal to say that. Even though our season was relatively short compared to recent years, we completed 7 weddings in just 10 weeks all while I was pregnant. It was no easy feat, and I have to thank SO many people around me for their amazing support and assistance.
As I begin my
maternity leave and get ready to hand over my trusty clipboard +
wedding tote for bottles + a diaper bag, I can't help but look back on
all of the incredible moments I've witnessed at the 40+ weddings I've
been lucky to have been apart of.
To my Clients - As I've said many times in the past, I am extremely lucky to have worked with soooo many amazing couples. Many of my brides have become very dear friends, and I am so grateful for that. Today, I am reflecting on this post I wrote nearly 1 year ago. These could not be more fitting words for how I feel about all of you. Seeing so many of you purchase your first homes, travel the world with your spouses, and become first time parents is what I love so much about my continued friendships with all of you. Please continue to keep in touch!
To Meghan - Simply put, you ROCK! How can I ever thank you for all of your hard work and countless hours that we've spent together pulling off some amazing weddings?! I think we make one heck of a team!
To Rob - THANK YOU for your unending support that has allowed me to do what I love for a living. There are no words to describe how grateful I am to have such a supportive husband. I love you!
Lastly, to Baby Schmitt - Thank
you for not surprising us with an unexpected appearance at a wedding ;) Mommy is SO ready to meet you and
fill her days with lots of cuddles and play time together! Just a few more weeks baby boy!!!
My official maternity leave begins today and will extend through the end of the year and into early 2013. We are currently in the process of restructuring some of our service levels, but I do plan to be back for the spring/summer wedding season of 2013.
Ok, now that I have cried through this post multiple times, I will wrap things up and just simply end this post with another huge THANK YOU! :)
xoxo,
Well, we're in the final stretch of this pregnancy and Baby Schmitt's nursery is officially completed! Rob took a few photos of the nursery so we could share them with out-of-town family and friends, but I have to admit that I'm slightly bummed we can't share everything in the nursery just yet since we're keeping the lil' guy's name a secret. There are a few things that have been blurred/edited out...the most obvious is the missing wooden letters that spell out his name above his crib. I'm in love with the wooden letters, but those unedited photos will just have to wait to be shared until after his birthday :)
Here are also a few detail shots of some various decor items around his room, including his book shelf/toy area inside his closet:
I hope Baby Schmitt loves his nursery as much as we do! It was a labor of love, and both Rob and I had a blast putting the room together for him. Everything is ready and in its place...baby monitors are set up and ready to go, his laundry is done and neatly tucked away in his dresser drawers, and we have a variety of other toys and equipment that have taken over the rest of our house. We are so READY for him! Less than 6 weeks to go :)
