Waddle waddle.

Heat pack.

Crammed insides.

Coca-Cola Classic.

Contraction?

I know I should try and "rest and enjoy these last couple of days," but I'm too excited, so stinking uncomfortable, and just plain ready to do this! I'm ready to be done with pregnancy for sure, but even more so, I just want to see her face!

After my checkup yesterday, my Dr. said I could go any day now. It just seems a bit strange to do the "everyday stuff" knowing my life is about to change forever- at any moment!

I'm trying to be patient, but I'm not doing a very good job! Come on baby girl!

Be Mine?

Raegan painted her own Valentine cards this year, and we added a Hershey's kiss to make them extra sweet. Just pink and red paper cut into hearts the old fashioned way, some white paint, and a kiss!

Our family, full of LOVE.

Raegan put a sweet Valentine in each of her little friends' Valentine bags. She got to take home a really cute bag of LOVEly treats:)

Operation "Resting, Nesting"

35 weeks, 4 days

Well, I've got a little over 4 weeks left until I'm due, but this babe is wanting out! Last Tuesday at my appointment, my (awesome) OB informed me that I'm already 1cm dilated! Wonder where I'm at today? So, I'm on strict orders to "listen to my body, take it seriously, and modify activity." So, this has been a pretty tough week in that light because if you pair nesting with the need for resting, it has equalled frustrated over and over again. I'm trying so hard to take it easy and not push myself, but I have a toddler AND we're working to build up our new prayer room! (And then there's co-op, parties, and all the other fun things that don't stop just because you're 9 months pregnant!) This weekend I'll be officially 36 weeks, and although at least 37 is ideal for delivery, we are in the safe zone on Sunday.

A KISS for baby SIS!

Even as I get slower and more exhausted, I am very VERY aware that these are my final days of having only one daughter, and I'm trying to really spend the extra time showering her with love. Sorry I'm not the most fun, active mom on the planet right now my Raegan, but mommy adores you and I'm so thankful for every little way you are helping prepare our family for baby sister! You are my treasure.

5 years!
