The Final Countdown....already?

36 Weeks and Counting...

So, admittedly I think this entire pregnancy experience is quickly becoming a blur.  Despite my best intentions and goals to soak up every minute, SLOW DOWN and appreciate this special miracle, here I am at 36 and 1/2 weeks wondering where all the time has gone. 

Over the past 6 weeks we've been blessed with several friends and family baby showers and a lot of help from our dear families and friends as we prepare the nursery and run through all the "must have" lists.  We've also attended Lamaze and the preparation for birth classes - which have definitely made everything that much more REAL!

Trying really hard to close out open projects at work but also realizing no matter how hard I try, I'm just not going to finish everything and I need to be OK with that!

Daddy has been amazing with helping pick up the slack at home since most days I have zero energy and all I want to do is put my aching, swelling, sore feet up! 

A few weeks ago we had an ultrasound and could see she was in position and appearing to be growing nicely (in fact, I'm starting to fear she could be a big girl...we'll see!)  The tech also said she could see quite a bit of hair .... which may explain the incessant heartburn....HAHA!


We are so looking forward to meeting our little princess and sharing her with all of you!

Following are some pics from the past few weeks. 

Please keep the prayers flowing as these final few weeks are definitely proving to be the toughest!
XOXO.
