Planning this summer is super stressful—I am trying to cram as much in as possible before this baby gets here (whenever that is). Plus I have to work a set amount—3 days a week—to keep my benefits (which is obviously quite important right now). I get a bit emotional about these last days with just Joseph. It is so easy to go do all this stuff now and very hard to imagine doing it all with baby. I know we will adjust and it is for the best, but I still want to give Joseph some awesome memories! Of course I may have to revise my plans a bit if something changes with this pregnancy, but so far so good.
