Any Day Now

Here are some (hopefully) final pregnancy pics we took the other day.  We just sort of spontaneously shot a few in the front yard after taking a walk.  I think I noticed some food on the front of my shirt.  Nice!  I guess my tummy just catches whatever falls down.   My mom is here with us and we've enjoyed our time with her.   I'm glad she's finally gotten to experience some of the pregnancy with me.   She's been a great help and good company.  Thank you Mom!  

Tomorrow is our due date.  Can't believe it!  We got a good report at our 40 week visit yesterday.  Let's just say everything is a "go".  We're just waiting on my body to give us the green light that labor has started.  I'm trying to rest, but it's hard to sit still I'm so antsy.  I can't wrap my brain around the fact that we are about to meet our little boy face to face.  It feels like such a build up of anticipation.  

We will keep you posted...

We're Getting Closer...

I had my 39 week appointment today and got all good news.  Baby boy is right where he is supposed to be.  Sorry men if this is TMI, but his head is down and turned in exactly the right position.  Everything seems good to go.  We are so thankful and happy about this.  Now it's just waiting and wondering when the big day will arrive.  Sooner than later would be fine with us!  I'm trying to keep our house clean and bags packed.  We'll keep you posted...

Just thought I'd Share

I can't wait to try this muffin recipe.  

I'm also addicted to this website lately:  www.etsy.com.  I could browse this site forever!  

Expectantly Waiting...

Tyson took these photos yesterday.  We love the way they turned out.   

I'm 35 weeks and 4 days.  

Oh yeah, I never posted on what my second birthday gift was (besides the scripture notebook).  It was a MacBook Pro!  I can't put it down.  I had a blast putting this slideshow together.  This thing is going to get alot of use.  Love it!!

Thankful

Good morning everyone.  We are sure enjoying a taste of this "Fall" like weather here in NC.  I can't believe September is here already.  It was 69 degrees outside when we woke up.  Bring it on!

We are doing well.  My last prenatal visit was uneventful.  Since I've stopped working, I am SO much more relaxed and my body is alot more peaceful.  Who knows, this little guy may settle in for the long haul now.  

When we thought he may come sooner than later, my perfectionistic tendencies were exposed and I was a little freaked out by feeling so unprepared.  Some of you who have raised children are probably grinning right now just thinking of how I'm about to face this little issue head on. It will be good for me.  I'm sure God is going to use motherhood to refine me in more ways than I can imagine.  I've enjoyed the slow pace of the last couple of weeks.  It's allowed me to take the time to stop and reflect more on this season and savor the precious moments of carrying this little one.   I've realized lately that the beauty of this time often gets smothered in my complaints of every little ache, pain, and inconvenience.  Therefore, I am making a conscious effort to set aside the moaning and groaning and put on a heart of thankfulness.  

Soooo....Here is a little list of things I am thankful for today:  

                                   - The peace in my heart

                                   - The healthy baby growing inside of me

                                   - A wonderful, attentive husband

                                   - Always having what we need

                                   - A great community of friends and family 

What are you thankful for today?
