Less Than 6 Weeks....






D-Day is coming! Delivery day, that is. I can't believe how close we are! I feel like I am always getting things checked off the to-do list I constantly have running through my head. Put crib together: check! Choose and meet with our baby's pediatrician: check! Get new, bigger "family car": check! Wash blankets, tiny sleep sacks, toys, and onesies in scent-free, dye-free detergent: check! Pack hospital bag: umm.... working on that.

We had our 32-week sonogram and it was so very exciting to see our baby again! She/he is very calm and very big! Baby was already measuring to be just under 5 lbs! Slept through the whole thing, even after I ate 2 cookies and some fruit to try and wake it up for the sonogram. Well, if she/he is still this mellow and a good sleeper outside of the womb, we will be some very thrilled first-time parents!

Troy is getting his golf games in while he can, but has been an awesome help around the house and getting things prepared. We know we will be having lots of visitors this summer, so yard work and a prepared guest room are also on the long list. We are nearly there! I have just some final things to put away in the baby's room and give it a good cleaning, and I think it will be as ready as it can be!

I am so excited. Feeling more ready every day to meet this little sweetheart. I can't wait to kiss this child and comfort it. I can't wait to see what God has planned for our family and who He is adding to it. Thank you God, for giving me the desires of my heart. May I do everything I can to be the wife and mother you created me to be.
