Uncomfortable? Me???

We are officially in the home stretch. I can't believe we are a little over a month away from meeting our little man! I have been one of those annoying pregnant women who constantly say I love being pregnant...because it's been true. I never understood the women who complained about pregnancy and didn't love it. I now know that they must be in the last month! I've never been so uncomfortable in all my life. My feet and ankles are completely swollen, my back hurts, my stomach feels like it's going to explode, and I can't sleep. Other than that, I love it:). Don't get me wrong...nothing compares to feeling him roll over in my belly and watching him switch from one side to the other. The bruised rib feeling sort of gets old though! I will be happy when he is here and I can breathe again!!!!

We have a little over two weeks before we close on our house, which gives us roughly two weeks before the baby's due date. Uncomfortableness aside...please pray the baby holds off until after we move in!!! Here is our new house, well, will be our new house October 8th!!


We are appreciating all prayers that the closing goes smoothly and we move in without any water breaking! God has been so good to us...we are just so thankful!

We do have a name picked out for the little one...I know...I hear you all gasping that it FINALLY happened! We have "decided" but agreed not to set anything in stone until we see his face and know for sure. We are still keeping a top 2 or 3 just in case, but think we've settled on the one! We will be taking a few 34 week pictures, much to my dismay as I now feel like a whale, but here are a few 32 week pics I never posted.

6 and a half left to go...

Could it really be that I only have a little over 6 weeks until this baby is here? Most women in my position are ready as can be, but I'd like to extend this time a little bit! I'm due on the 29th, but we close on our house in Hickory as WELL as our house in Atlanta on October 8th. That only gives us a few weeks to get the house in order and the nursery ready! I know it won't all be perfect, but we have a pretty awesome God who answered our prayers to let us be in a house before the baby was here.


We have so much to do leading up to the day, and it feels like our heads are spinning!!! I had another shower in Hickory this past weekend. Sue was sweet enough to do that for us! It was absolutely beautiful and so wonderful to see so many great friends! Also, we got to see Ella and bring her back with us to Atlanta for the week. Lindy is missing her something awful, but we are thankful to have this precious time...and she could not be a sweeter, more precious, more beautiful baby!!!! We just adore her. Here are a few little snapshots from the other day with her.


See, I told you...perfection! I can't wait for her to meet her cousin!!!
