17 Days

Eddison Dee Jacobson.

There are 17 days until the due date and I will be saying the name out loud to a little person. I am in a whole new element of emotions. I want so badly for her to be here now, then at the same time I would like her to wait as long as possible. I know no matter what it is not up to me when my lovely daughter makes her appearance.

Today is a weird day. I woke up last night to some contractions and cramps, couldn't get comfortable, and today I feel as though I caught a cold. You know, the itchy eyes, stuffy nose, sore feeling? Yep, that is how I feel.

I am so ready to hold you in my arms, but at the same time I am going to miss having you with me 24/7 in my belly. Right now I can feel your every move, I can anticipate your hiccups, you are always there and I can protect you. With you born it is a different story. I don't know how to explain that.

I will still have the same responsibilities but they will be more precise and important. I have had constant "monitoring" from family members and friends asking how you are, how I am, and when you will come.

Eddison, I am speechless. Our 9 months together are about to be over. I am going to change titles from Sabrina to mom. I cant wait.
