Beautiful and healthy, Praise the Lord!!!!

I'll update soon with his birth story!  God is sooo good!

2 Week Wait!

I'm talking a different 2 week wait, I'm 38 weeks, and this is the first 2ww that I've ever looked forward to in my life!  Granted, little guy could come a week late, but I'll forgive him if he decides to give his momma one more week to enjoy being pregnant. 

Dr. appt yesterday went well.  I'm 80% effaced, 1 cm dilated, and his head is low.  I lost a pound at this appt (thinking it could be cause it was a morning appt, not an afternoon) for a total now of 29 lbs.  She said my tummy is measuring on the small side, but thinks its cause I'm tall and his head is so far down.  I also found out I'm Group B negative, which I am thankful for...one less thing to worry about is ok with me!

Little guy is rolly polly, and I love feeling him move around so much!  He loves sweets and evenings...good to know for future reference!  Dave also enjoys watching my belly go to town, this pregnancy has been such a blessing...God is so good. 

We are packed and ready for his arrival.  Emotionally I can now say I am sooo excited for his arrival.  At about 30 weeks, I was more nervous and scared...I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy, and it seemed it was flying by too fast.  The fear of never getting to experience this again was gripping me.  But, now I can say, God has blessed me with an amazing pregnancy, I'm so thankful that I got this chance, but in all things there is a season.  This season is almost over, but God is allowing us to experience a new season I've also been praying for for 8 years!  I can't worry about tomorrow, whether I'll experience this again or not, I just need to fully enjoy today!

Below are some pics from my last shower that I forgot to post, plus my 38 week shot! 

  

I LOVE my hubby!!

I need to brag on my amazingggg hubby!!!  The poor guy has been working his butt off getting things done around the house for me so I feel "ready".  Plus, he has been cramming his work schedule to make sure he's around for the big day, plus get stuff done for the 2 weeks off he plans on taking...PLUS all the leadership responsibilities he's taken on at church!  This guy needs a break! 

But NO, on Monday he scrubbed the gross shower for me, poured in some draino (gotta love the long pregnancy hair!), and THEN pampered me with painting my toenails!  WHAT A GUY!  He did such an amazing job, honestly WAY better than I ever do.  He said he just did it like he was painting a piece of art...wow.   (All this comes after the weekend where he cooked every meal for me, including having leftovers for Monday's dinner!) 

David, I love you so much, thank you for serving me and your son in so many ways!  You are truly a blessing and are going to be an AMAZING daddy!!!  I LOVE YOU!
