Here I am at 37 weeks and 2 days.
Thanksgiving is tomorrow..we are going to my Mama's :) We had originally wanted to have it here..but Mom thought that with me being 8 1/2 months pregnant, that it may be a little much...and boy am I glad that she did! However, we are still getting up Friday to go shopping :) It's a tradition and something that I look forward to EVERY year. There is one thing that is missing this Thanksgiving..and thats Leah and Jaden. For the past year or so they have been here to celebrate with us :( We miss them terribly..but in ONE MONTH, they will be here to visit and celebrate Christmas :) AND, Addie Grace should be here by then as well!
Now..with the holidays here, we are all reminded of how lucky and how thankful we should be...although here lately I have felt overcome with thankfulness. I am so thankful for my family..my mom, my dad, brother, my husband, this baby that the lord has so graciously blessed us with..my grandparents..my heart becomes so full and heavy at the same time thinking about all of the people in my life whom I love so much. I am thankful to be a saved Christian, for I know that without the Lord above, I would be absolutely NOTHING. So, with all of that said, I hope that as everyone gathers around their tables tomorrow, they will take a minute to thank the Lord for all of the blessings in their lives, and to express their love to their loved ones.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
P.S.-Maybe the next time I blog, we will have a baby in our arms ;) You never know!
Hubby worked so hard painting, and getting everything perfect for his baby girl. It's SO hard to believe that almost 8 months of pregnancy have gone by..it has FLOWN..before we know it Addie Grace will be here and our lives will never be the same. We are SO excited, nervous, scared, anxious, and all of the above...I am scared to death of childbirth..the "not knowing" part of it scares me..if you know me at all, you know that I'm a control freak..and this is something that I have absolutely no control over..I dont have control over when it happens, where it happens, how it will happen..any of that, and that is deffinately overwhelming at times. But I know that I will get through it. JW has been AMAZING in all of this, and I know that he's going to be an AWESOME Daddy. All of my doctor visits have been great, good reports at all of them..good blood pressure, weight gain (ugh) and all of the other exciting yet scary things that come along with pregnancy...we went to our Expectant Parent class a couple weekends ago..that was interesting, and very helpful! We learned alot :) It's amazing to lay in the bed at night and watch her move around in my stomach, it truly is a miracle, and something that only God can do.
On another note, we are SSSOOOOO excited because not only will Addie Grace be here in December, but so will Leah and Jaden!! WWWOOOO HHOOOOO!!!! :) :) I CAN'T WAIT to see them..it has been ENTIRELY too long!!
Tomorrow is Friday, Thank goodness it'll be the weekend!! I need some time to be off my feet and relax, although I usually find something to keep me busy!!
Anywho, I will try my best to keep this thing updated and not let it be another 3 months before I post another one..but I'm not promising anything ;)
