<p><strong>Today is my birthday</strong>. I’m 32. My body feels much older than that at the moment, though. <img decoding="async" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" style="border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none" alt="Smile" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/wlEmoticon-smile1.png"> My dear hubby gets to call me old for two months before he turns 32, too. And my dad is bringing me a birthday dinner. It’s a tradition my grandma used to do and now he graciously continues it!</p>
<p><strong>Today is my Anniversary</strong>. I have been married to my wonderfully amazing husband for 8 years. I can’t imagine my life without him and I am so lucky and blessed to have him in my life. He is caring, generous, incredibly smart, thoughtful, loving, a great dad and my best friend. <img decoding="async" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" style="border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none" alt="Smile" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/wlEmoticon-smile1.png"></p>
<p><strong>Today I am 38 weeks pregnant with our second little girl.</strong> Which means that in a week from today, we will become a family of 4! How crazy! I am so excited and am suddenly feeling a little nervous about everything. </p>

<p>Here’s a picture of me at 38 weeks with Maddie.</p>

<p>About the same. This time I’m not swollen like a blimp, though, so that is nice! I feel enormous right now and sitting on the floor to play with Maddie or bending over to pick up her toys just hurt. I can’t believe I carried Maddie 15 more days than I will carry this one! That seems like forever&nbsp; in my mind right now. But thankfully, baby #2 will be here next week! </p>
<p><strong>Today we get to vote. </strong>I hope that all of you will go vote today. We are lucky enough to live in a country where we are able to vote. So get out there and vote! </p>
<p>Have a wonderful day! I know I am going to enjoy every minute today!</p>
