Hi.  Still here.  Still pregnant.  We went to the hospital Wednesday morning with contractions.  I had been up since 4:30 with contractions pretty consistently every 10 minutes for about two hours.  Better safe than sorry so we went despite the fact that I kept saying "they are just going to send me home".  I'm glad we ended up going, we were only there for a couple hours, but after they checked me we found out that I'm not at 3 cm!  I progressed 2 cm overnight!  Now I'm kind of at a standstill.  I'm having random contractions, but nothing strong.  I know I could walk around for weeks at 3 cm so I'm trying to get my mind off of when this baby will come!  Yesterday I did some nesting.  Cleaned out the fridge, freezer and pantry.  I made some breakfast burritos to freeze for the mornings, made two dinners to get us through the rest of this week and cleaned the house.  I was successful at getting my mind off of the delivery, but I woke up this morning around 4am wondering when it would happen again!  All in God's perfect timing I keep telling myself.  And ideally, I would like to make it past the 7th since that's our Christmas Banquet for work that I plan.  So the 8th would be great :)

Tenley seems to be adjusting well and realizing that there is a change coming.  We have the carseat in the car and she had a lot of questions about that at first!  We went from arguing that it wasn't "hers" anymore to now she's begging that the baby would come and sit by her.  Progress!  She'll be a great big sister.

I go back to the doctor on Tuesday and we'll see if I've made any more progress.  I'm trying to think that I haven't in my mind, so that I'm not disappointed.  We are just ready to meet this little one!

Maternity Pictures!

I have to be honest, I've never been a big fan of maternity pictures.  Something about them always seems so awkward to me.  But, I knew I would regret not getting them this time around because I wanted to remember Tenley at this age while I am pregnant.  So we headed out this past weekend with our beautiful photographer, Lindsey.  If anyone can make me appreciate maternity pictures, it's Lindsey.  She did such a great job.  Here's our sneak peek!





I love them and am so excited to display a few in the house!  Before we know it, baby #2 will be here!  I'm 35 weeks now and feeling more sore than ever!  Baby is ready to make an appearance!  We would love for you to continue to pray for the health of our baby and the changes that this will bring to our family, especially Tenley!
