10 weeks.

Wow. Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday Gerald & I found out I was pregnant and now we're 10 weeks away from my due date. With the baby's every kick and with every day that passes, we get more and more excited! Its so crazy to think I actually have another little life inside me. I get more & more amazed every day.

Gerald has been nothing short of amazing, as well. I think he's learning to adjust more & more everyday to living somewhere else other than Seattle, where he was born & raised. He's been a trooper though. The day of the move was pretty rough on him and all his loved ones, but everyone's been real supportive thus far and I couldn't be more thankful for that. I know that when the baby finally comes, he'll be an amazing father. He's already shown so much effort in making things as easy as possible for me & I couldn't have imagined going through this pregnancy without him. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve it, but I most definitely feel blessed.

And while we're on the subject of feeling blessed, I should probably mention that my trip to Seattle 2 weeks ago was awesome, as always! It felt good to be out of Vegas, even if it was only for the weekend. It rained a lot the whole weekend & usually that would bother me, but just being around everyone who showed us so much love..how could I have NOT been in a good mood?? Gerald's best friends Michelle & Julie threw us an awesome baby shower at his house with all of his friends and it was so much fun - everything from the games, food, and the company. I was surprised that I even had any energy left for the baby shower his sister & mom threw us the next day. It was more chill, but still so much fun. I never thought I could feel so much love in one weekend but thats what happened! I feel more & more blessed and excited that my son's going to have such an amazing support system in his life. Of course, we'll be sending out more formal Thank You's in a few weeks but I just wanted to say thank you again & again, over & over to Michelle, Julie, Karen, & Auntie for putting in the effort, time & energy to throw us two amazing baby showers! WE LOVE YOU!!!

So, whats next? Well, we're hoping to enjoy the holidays with my family here in Las Vegas and attend some prenatal classes in between just to get more prepared for the lil man. My family's throwing me a baby shower in 2 weeks so the love's gonna keep coming our way! Then, before we know it, it'll be January & then the real countdown will begin. We're so excited! Thank you to both of our families and friends for the constant support and encouragement. We love you all & we can't wait to share Xavier with you all.

Thank you & goodnight!
