So much fun!!!

Hi everyone! I have been meaning to write for a while but always want to include a fun picture that I haven't uploaded yet or is on a different computer so I just haven't for a while. I will try to be better the next few weeks and months because I am guessing everyone will be very excited about seeing pictures of the new little one coming soon! Don't know if I will actually have the time though! (I will try!)

So, a lot has been going on the past few months getting ready for baby to make his big arrival (hopefully not too big though!!!) I have had three wonderful baby showers and we have been so lucky to get almost everything we need for baby! (Though I'm sure he will still surprise us with something we never thought about once he arrives!) It was great to get to see so many family and friends and hear all the wonderful stories that everyone has from their own experiences. The nursery is all done and ready for baby to arrive, though I do think I need to pack my hospital bag before any of that happens! Why do I keep procrastinating on that one thing???

One of the most memorable gifts we received was a handmade cradle from my Uncle Bruce, Aunt Arlene, and Jared. Josh and I were truly touched to have such a beautiful piece of furniture handmade with such love just for our son. In addition, the box contained a wonderful wooden rocking horse that my Grandpa Whichard handmade in 1958 or 1959 for my daddy who was just a little boy. We are looking forward to our son getting to enjoy these two precious family pieces and then pass them along to other siblings and cousins!

As far as how big my belly is now... Here is the most recent picture which was last weekend at 36 weeks! I continue to grow and my belly continues to get lower so we will see how much longer!!! My doctor says we can breathe a sigh of relief on Saturday because I will be 37 weeks and the baby will be considered full-term anytime after that. So now it is just the wait and see game!!!

So, I think that is about all for now! I am enjoying some time off to rest, relax, and play before baby comes and I am crazy busy and tired! I will try to keep everyone posted as far as when baby may be making his big arrival and of course post pictures as soon as possible afterward! I hope everyone is doing well!!!!!!! Love to all!!!!!!
