So....guess who sucks at bloggng... :)

Now to be fair, I warned you all I was horrible at blogging. lol I always think....I should blog today...then 2 weeks later I finally do. Well today is the day. : )
I am now 35 weeks. 35 WEEKS???!?!?! It's RIDICULOUS how fast the time has gone, and even more ridiculous that this baby could really come at any time now. I hope she waits a litle longer though. She needs to bake some more. : ) Right now, she is pretty much developed and just gaining weight. I hope she's all cute and chubby.
This is my huge belly.


And these are my Nutty Professor feet...





LOL It's pretty bad. We are not new to this though. Back when Drew had a semi-working kidney his feet used to swell up REAL bad and, being the good girlfriend I was, I would sit and push the fluid out of his feet. Now the favor is being returned. LOL Sometimes it's wierd having a husband whose been through more of the pregnant experiences then I have. He's had the swollen feet, stretch marks (after his transplant), an epidural (which he totally recommends), and the complete loss of dignity from tons of doctors pricking, poking, shaving, and observing. He's definetely more used to being in a hospital bed then I am.
Now that the time is getting closer, my mind is in hyperdrive. Do we have everything we need? Do I have enough of this or that? Will everything go ok? Is the house ready for the baby? What can I clean? Have I finished everything I needed to at work? Am I going to be good at this? The questions continue....I can't seem to make them stop. But with those questions comes dreams of... what she will look like? What kind of personality will she have? Will she love music and sports like mom? Will she be smart and strong like her dad? Will she have his eyes? So many things I can't wait to find out. My only prayer is that she is healthy. : ) I know that God has already planned her life and knows who she will be. I just pray that we can raise her and guide her in a way that is pleasing to him. This adventure is just beginning.

ugh.....

Today has been a rough day. Woke up with a migraine and a sore throat. Sweet Andrew, being the great man he is, forced me to stay in bed. lol To make the day even more wonderful, the stress of life seemed to come down on us today. Life is overwhelming as it is....add baby worries (providing, protecting, etc...) and I couldn't stop crying. lol Now to be fair, hormones DO NOT help when you're already feeling sick. The thing that continues to amaze me, though, is God is IMMENSELY bigger than any sickness, any stress, any hormone in this world. We have been reminded time and time again, and today is no different. He shows His love through family and freinds that love us and would do anything for us, and by providing for our needs even when it looks like there is no way out. I just knew I couldn't end this day without praising God for loving us for no other reason than He loves us unconditionally. We definitely don't deserve it.

New Camera...New Adventures!

So this Christmas Drew and I decided that our gift for each other would be a new Flip Camera. We've wanted one for awhile, and now, since we're going to have a new addition to the family, it would be nice to be able to document all the crazy times that will come. Drew, of course, can not stop playing with it, so here is a video of our day out in DC. Good times. lol I almost confiscated the camera from him, but in the end, it was a really great day. lol No cupcake, but still a good day. Watch and you'll see. : )
Dandrew's Big Day Out!
