7 months

As I enter the dreaded "third trimester", I have many things on my mind up to and including: money, family, living arrangements. 

I'm in a different place than I was even 6 months ago.  I've grown and become stronger, more patient, and I believe in doing the right thing--even when doing the exact opposite seems like the easier thing to do.  I've bought diapers and started "stocking up" on things that Jace will need, I've saved money so I can prepare for the time that I will be off work, and I've set up bill paying arrangements so I won't have to worry about getting money to the bank while I have Jace.  All these things are responsible and I'm proud of the work I have done--but I feel that, in the short amount of time that I have, it's won't be enough.  I've been told that NOTHING can prepare you for what lies ahead, though.

I have a feeling that everything is going to be alright.  What is meant to happen, WILL happen so I just have to remember that it's time to enjoy the rest of pregnancy, work hard because Jace is counting on me, and I can't give up.
