37 Weeks!

Well, it's hard to believe that tomorrow we will be 37 weeks. I can remember back when I was just 14 weeks wondering if the nausea would ever end and if I would ever start to show! Well, I'm certainly showing now! Here are some pics to prove it.


We are still doing well, the baby kicks and wiggles and hiccups and continues to be an endless source of fascination for us as we wonder what on earth he's doing! Our awesome doctor says that he still seems on the small side, which is good because no one wants to push out a 9lb baby (like Ken's mom had to do)!!

We are getting so excited to meet our new little boy and see who he takes after the most! Our nursery is all set up, all we have left to do to prepare is pack our bags for the hospital, figure out how to set up the car seat, and wait! Wish us luck!

35 Weeks and counting!

Wow, it's hard to believe that we're already at 35 weeks with just 5 more weeks to go (give or take). I haven't done a very good job taking pictures of my big belly to show off. Sorry about that! I'm definitely getting bigger, almost daily it seems like now! I can feel him moving around more too as he's running out of room. Even with all the discomfort, I still think pregnancy is a miracle from God, and I'm so awed to blessed in this way. I hope parenting is just as fun!

Since the house hasn't sold, we're taking it off the market this week and starting to prepare the baby's room. We have pretty much everything we need for his arrival - we just need to get it all organized! Soon, we'll pack our bag for the hospital. I'm getting so excited to meet our little boy!

Here are just a couple of pictures from two of my baby showers:

31 Weeks & More Baby Pics

Wow, it's hard to believe we're 31 weeks already. Our little man is about 3.5 lbs and moving around like crazy now! We've got all our furniture put together, but it's not organized yet. My chair and ottoman set is still in the living room, where I enjoy sitting in it whenever possible! We still need to rearrange the baby's room, right now, I have to move the crib to get to the closet!

I never realized how cute the clothes were for boys - we have already received some really cute things from friends and family - I can't wait to see them on him! Little overalls, and onesies, and bottoms with itty bitty pockets, just like Ken's!!

We had another ultrasound taken a few weeks ago. He was pretty uncooperative, mostly because he was asleep! So we had to go back a second time, where we got some good photos of him (still sleeping). Too bad we didn't go this week - he's been awake and moving the whole time!

So far, I'm still enjoying being pregnant - my biggest complaint is that my hands and feet stay pretty constantly swollen, which exacerbates my carpel tunnel, so my hands hurt and my feet hurt too. But, all in all, this is a pretty normal, very easy pregnancy so far - I hope it continues and that our boy is born healthy and happy!

I had no idea how fascinating pregnancy would be - it truly reminds me of Psalm 139:13 - For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I'm constantly amazed at how he's growing and developing and how God is forming him and putting him together. I feel so blessed to be a part of such an everyday sort of miracle, and awed that God would trust us with this new little life. I can't wait to meet him and see God's masterpiece!

6 Years in Love

As Ken and I come up on our 6-year anniversary, we decided to get some photos taken (and to show off my baby belly). Hope you enjoy!
