Today I've officially reached my due date and though little guy seems to be very happy staying put, we'll be meeting him for the very first time tomorrow, which means it's officially...

I found out yesterday that I'll be induced because my blood pressure seems to be ticking up a bit and though I really wanted labour to start on its own, I'm so incredibly happy that we'll be meeting our sweet little bundle tomorrow.
I'm also beyond thrilled that for the first time, my sister will be here to share this amazing moment with us...and of course, my parents are also one their way so it's going to be a love filled full house.
And as I wake up this morning with tomorrow so close, I can't help think about how incredible this time is and how very lucky I am...to think I'll soon be the mother of 4...it just makes me so endlessly grateful, humbled and filled with joy.
To be honest, I'm also slightly terrified in a way I've never been about labour/birth etc...not sure why that is exactly but I'm trying to focus on the beautiful anticipation and leave the crappy anxiety at the door.
I'm also going to try my best today to relish the last day that I'll feel the amazing wonder that is 'pregnancy'....this is indeed my final time on this ride, and to be honest, the truth off that makes my heart hurt more than a little but again, I want to spend today wrapped up mostly in the sweet, sweet knowledge that my life is about to change again in the best/most wondrous way.
Though I won't be back here until next week sometime, I promise updates on Instagram, Twitter and the like (all under @bijouandboheme)...and PS, I can't possibly tell you how blessed I feel knowing that you're all out there waiting to here the big news...having somewhere to share all of this journey has made it that much more special and I thank you so endlessly for that.
Many, many hugs.
