8 months and anxious

2 months to go, and am I ready? Well, I'm not ready as far as how to take care of a baby (not really a feeding, diapers, bathtime know-it-all), I am struggling with the concept of not knowing what contractions or labor/delivery will be like, I haven't taken any prenatal classes (I've been busy) and the baby room is not functional. However, I am ready to no longer be pregnant (I hurt my hip and the pressure on it is causing me to have trouble walking), and I am ready to hold her and see who and what she looks like. I have been having these dreams that I've had the baby and 3 days go by until I realize it needs to be fed, and have a diaper changed. Oh and most of the time, the baby is a boy. In fact, I had a dream that I gave birth to a 4 month old boy with a reddish brown mullet. Talk about strange. It must have been the cherry Cheesecake and sparkling cider I had before bed (Luke and I just celebrated 3 years together, hence the reason for the fancy desert and drink). I would have never imagined that time would fly by so fast, and that so much would happen in that time span. I continue to keep busy with student teaching, working at Wells Fargo Financial, and leading worship at Define. I just passed the halfway point in student teaching, 7 weeks to go and I'll be a certified teacher. Aside from my excitement of Madilyn's arrival, its such a wonderful feeling of accomplishment to know I'm almost there. My student teaching experience is going great, I love my students and I know when I have to say goodbye in March, that I will have such a hard time. My busy life has been made easier by Luke keeping up on the housework, he's been so awesome but I'm sure he has enjoyed having free afternoons to play some X-box! I figure he needs this time before Madilyn gets here. As you can tell, I have a lot going on, but I have so much to look foward to: preparing a baby room, some baby showers, spending time with my family (whenever they can make it over), finishing student teaching, finishing my pregnancy, becoming a mom and taking some maternity leave! I have had some people ask me about where we are registered and our colors, so fyi on that: Target and Babies-R-Us (both have online registries) and our colors are pink and brown.
