This might be the most surreal thing I have ever said, but today is the day our son is due!
It’s hard to express how I’m feeling right now – nervous, excited, scared, nervous, happy…NERVOUS. I honestly can’t believe this is really happening but, ready or not, parenthood, here we come!
For the past couple of months I’ve predicted that the little man will arrive late and, while the day is not over yet, I still feel he won’t be here for several more days. In the meantime I plan to stay busy to keep myself sane. It is the oddest feeling in the world knowing that our lives are about to change forever, just not knowing when, exactly. Like I said, it’s difficult to express how that feels.
IF anything happens this weekend (that’s a big if) I will check in next week to let you know how everything went, and introduce our son! I want to thank you all for the support you’ve shown over the past 20 weeks. Each thoughtful and encouraging comment along the way has made me even more excited to become a Mama to our sweet little boy. You guys are the best and I know you’ll be equally as supportive in the following weeks as we adjust to life with a newborn. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Talk to you soon…here we go!

Favorite indulge: Oreo Peanut Butter. I can’t even begin to imagine the damage I’d do to a jar of this stuff. Insane.
Favorite fashion: Dirty Laundry Beka 2 Sandal. Gee, I wish I’d found these about 2 months ago! Adorable and comfy for my pregnant blimp feet.
Favorite lick: Cucumber Watermelon Popsicles. I am featuring these babies for my Mom, who is obsessed with all things homemade watermelon popsicles at the moment. Her freezer is full of ’em for the grand kids! Love this kicked up version with cooling cucumber and tangy lime.

Kristin!!! I have followed you since the days of you showing us breakfast dinner and lunch, love you and your blog! I am so so so excited to see your sweet baby boy!! You and Ben will make amazing parents! God bless you all!!
as a fellow pregnant lady, I just burst into tears seeing your first picture. My husband and I are expecting our first child, a son, in October. Its one thing to say, “i’m having a baby”…. its another thing to say, “i’m having a son (or daughter)”. Its more tangible and rattles you at your core. So fellow mama, congrats. I’ll be thinking of you and your mama bear strength over the next few days.
Congratulations to you, Jessica! October will be here before you know it!!
Happy Due Date! Wishing you a speedy delivery :) Enjoy!
Happy Friday and happy due date! Hope you have a great weekend and all goes well with your delivery! So exciting that you will soon have a little baby boy in your arms! Enjoy your time! It is truly amazing!!
So happy for you guys!! Wishing you a happy healthy delivery, I can only imagine how excited you are!
Great Friday Fav’s, Wishing you & Ben all the Best!

Bahahaha, yes! How did she miss that one?! ;) Thanks for sending this, btw. I’m getting a little stir crazy!
Best wishes for a speedy delivery and a healthy boy (soon!). I don’t even know you but I’m just so happy and excited for you.
Good luck with your last few days as a prego! You will make a fabulous mother, what a lucky little guy :)
Cogratulations and I hope you have a healthy delivery and baby. It is so strange waiting for it all to happen. The beginning is so tough but my little one is 10 months and you forget all about it and just enjoy every minute.
Those crocks looks just like the ones I have stored in my basement that my parents had when they were young. Everything that goes around…comes around!
How exciting!! Congratulations and best wishes with welcoming your son into the world.
My due date was the longest.day.of.my.life! Haha. So difficult to keep waiting after they’re due. Hopefully your son won’t keep you waiting for another 7 days like mine did. :) Keeping busy is wise. Good luck, and I can’t wait to “meet” baby boy!!!
Oh my gosh, my excitement is building for you! I cannot wait to meet your little guy! I really am so excited for you both!!
Thank you so much for linking my BLT corn fritters!! So happy you like them!! Thanks again and good luck!!
