3 Weeks 6 Days to go!

Well, it's definitely getting down to the wire now. I had another doctor appointment yesterday. It went well. She didn't check my cervix so I can't tell you anything about that, but his heartbeat is still good so that's all that matters. I am starting to get so impatient! And, actually, kinda starting to get a little miserable. I think I have dropped, because I can feel so much more pressure now and it hurts! I just have to keep reminding myself that my body is preparing itself for my little man to make his magnificent entrance into this world. I have been thinking a lot, and bearing a child is the biggest miracle I could have possibly imagined. I was telling someone the other day (can't remember who) that any woman who has carried a child or any man who has witnessed his wife, girlfriend, whatever, give birth and still doesn't believe in God is just a complete moron. I mean, how can you NOT believe in our amazing Lord when you hold that perfect little child in your arms for the first time?! Anyway, off my soap box now. I am starting to get really anxious about getting everything set up. Crissy and Assaad are coming over tomorrow so Crissy can help me try to get some of the nursery organized and put together and Dusty said he would start putting stuff together for me this weekend while I'm at Women of Faith. I am going to start packing my bag and the baby's bag soon... maybe Friday... and then it will just become a waiting game on when he wants to be here. =) I am so excited!

Well, that's all for now. I will post again next week!

The Final Stretch

Well... I now have just over 4 weeks left in this pregnancy and it's finally hitting me that I'm about to bring a new life into this world. Dusty and I couldn't be more excited! We are going tomorrow to get the rest of the "big items" we still need like the car seat, travel system and bouncer. Then it's down to just making the house baby ready and getting everything put together, set up, and cleaned up. I'm starting to realize that the little man could make his entrance any time now, and it's so exciting! I am a little overwhelmed at everything I'm feeling right now, but it's all good things. This is just the most amazing experience of my life and I can't believe I am about to be a mother. My dream is finally coming true! Dusty is going to make a great dad, and I can't wait to see him interact with his son. It's going to be awesome!

I guess that's all for now... I will try to start posting at least once a week so you all can see what is going on in our new little family.

Love ya'll!
