The Countdown Begins...

And so the countdown begins. Today marks week 32. Only 8 weeks to go!!! I can't believe that we are in the beginning of the final stretch to meeting our little one! It seems like only yesterday we were 8 weeks along and couldn't wait to tell everyone because waiting until 12-16 weeks seemed like forever. The summer has really started to heat up here and I am going to keep thinking positive thoughts that I am not hot because, so far, I haven't really been uncomfortable. (Check back in August to see if the perspective has changed.)

Last weekend was our last trip before little "B" gets here. We went out of town with the majority of Matt's family. It was a nice last get away for us. We got to spend lots of time with the three kiddos and older brother on the way there and back. The kids were really good traveling companions and it helped that they would need to stop more often like the preggo woman would. :) They were also troopers on Saturday when we went hiking. I only made it a mile, but the kids (8, 6, & 4) made it for 6 miles!! Yep, they were real troopers to go six miles. From what I heard, they were the ones that kept the adults going instead of the other way around.

Sunday I spent the day relaxing with Mom B while Matt and the rest of the gang went to the local theme park near the town we were in. We really enjoyed our time with the family and look forward to more trips with the whole gang in the future.

The room is starting to come together, at least in thought and on paper. Once we start making visible progress, I will post some pictures. I will say the ideas are awesome and can't wait to share them with you!

Little "B" moves around quite a bit here lately and likes to hang out on the right side of my belly. I can poke at him/her and the response is normally a kick back at me. :) It really is amazing to have a life growing inside of me. To know that the baby is growing and moving on its own is so amazing! All I am doing is keeping it fed and safe and it is becoming a little person is truly a miracle and I can only attribute that to God.

I am looking forward to meeting this little one and continue to thank God each day for such a miracle.

Love to all,
