Last week officially marked my 9th month of pregnancy! If our angel was born anytime from here on out she will be full term. It is still strange and wonderful to think our due date is in 3 weeks and we are about to FINALLY be parents. What an absolute Blessing. Sometimes I laugh because its the calm before the storm. We think we know what we are about to get ourselves into, but I know we have no idea!
The nursery is close to finished, minus a few decorating touches; clothes are washed and folded, most of our bag is packed and ready to go for when we go into labor and we are feeling pretty prepared for D day! It was amazing how fast, yet how slow the entire pregnancy has been. I really have savored every moment. Every turn, every kick, every hiccup... I tell her how much I love her and how thankful we are that she is ours <3 Her daddy is already so very in love with her and talks to her when ever he gets a chance. It absolutely melts my heart when he reads scripture to her. She is going to be one annointed little girl, I am certain.
My mother is finally more aware that we are expecting and that makes me so happy. I'm pretty sure that my VERY large belly makes it hard for her to forget! She doesn't ever remember that its a girl, or what our princess's name will be but I will take what I can. Last week my phenominal husband took her to Babies R Us so she could pick out what she wanted for the baby shower this past weekend and he said she was very excited! I love my husband more than words can ever express, but the little things like that make me so grateful that we found eachother. He is such an amazing husband and I can't wait to watch him blossom into the fantastic father I know he will be. I get so emotional when I think about how truly Blessed I am. Not only do I have a handsome, kind, gentle and loving husband but God has now gifted us with a child. I have and will always give ALL the glory to God for it all. <3
Last week was our last Bradley birthing class and our baby shower this past Sunday was incredible! My sister, good friend and my many mothers made the day absolutely perfect.
The birth photographer is hired (yes, I did and I'm excited about it) and we are just about ready. We can't wait for the big day and to see what our precious angel's birth story looks like! I am a bit nervous, but confident that our natural childbirth decision will go exactly as planned.

Be Blessed,
