And here we are: 37 weeks.
Not too much to report here, except the fact that I've begun heading to the doctor's office once a week from here on out! How exciting is that? I so badly want her to be born on my mom's birthday, Feb. 21st, just one day before her due date, but I also would just really love to hold her in my arms. This waiting has definitely been a test on my patience At our last appointment all looked well. She was head down, heart beat in the 140's (which is good, and she's...
Okay....here's my 36 week picture! I can definitely tell there's a baby in there these days! When she moves I move, and sometimes it's a nice little jolt :)
I am trying to be mindful of the fact that I've got around 4 weeks left with my little girl in there, and I'll never ever get that back with her. I know I will always look back on this as such a sweet time....but I can't say we aren't ready to meet her! Oh we are so ready!
I just made some delicious muffins so I'm going to jet. Decaf coffee...

This past week has been so fun with a huge baby shower thrown from some really amazing friends from church. Aaron and I are constantly in awe of the people God has brought into our lives, especially the 6 other couples from Northwest that are walking through the same stage of life as we are. Just amazing to look into each one of their eyes and see an honest desire and passion to know Christ more, and to live a life wholly pleasing to Him!
Eden got some...
So I had been reading online and in books about women having werid dreams about the arrival of their little one and had been wondering when or if that would happen to me. Well, last night...it did.
I'll spare you some of the unecessary details but the main point was this: Eden hatched out of my belly. You see I had ran into some friends who I hadn't seen since highschool and none of them had felt a baby move before. So they were pushing on my belly trying to provoke her. Well, all of a sudden i noticed a...
Here's my 33 week picture!
This morning Aaron and I headed into downtown Raleigh for some Maternity pics. There were some great locations, but humidity so who knows how the hair held up! It'll be a couple weeks until we get to see them, but I'll be sure to put them up once we have them in our hands! Our next set of pictures will be with little Eden....oh we can't wait!!
Aaron has started back at work again after a couple weeks off for the holidays. I have gotten so used to having him around, it's strange for him to...
