Countdown has begun!














Well we are almost there! I'm 38 weeks now and I can't believe she is about to be here. I am in full nesting mode trying to get everything ready for her arrival. My mom was here this weekend helping me get some last minute things done. She finished painting our bathroom...yay!! It probably would not of gotten finished if she hadn't been here! She also made the bedding for Emma Kate's beautiful bassinet. I put some pictures up of the finished beautiful bassinet! We also enjoyed a delicious dinner on Saturday night so I posted some of those pictures to! Thank you mom for all your help....we appreciate everything you do!

I am going to the doctor on Wednesday and I am excited to see how she is doing and how big she is getting! We are also going to tour the hospital on Wednesday night. Last week we had our last childbirth class and I am a little sad that its over, but I feel so much more confident and happy that we took the Bradley Method classes! Our instructor was awesome and really made the classes enjoyable for Brian and I.

I am feeling pretty good overall. I just get tired a little more now and I can tell it's getting close! Most nights I am sleeping well but she is getting a little heavy now. I can tell Brian is feeling how close it's getting and it's so cute to see how excited he is. He talks to her and makes lots of noises at my belly which is funny but I wonder what Emma Kate is thinking when he does that. I just can't wait to see Brian with her! It's funny how emotional I am right now as well. Just started to cry thinking about our little blessing being here so soon! :)

I will definitely send out any updates as they are happening, but I also just wanted to say thank you to everyone for going through this journey with us and sending us all your wonderful prayers. We love you guys and are so thankful to have you all in our lives.

36 Weeks!













Hello Everyone! We are at 36 weeks now! I am getting overly excited at how soon she is going to be here. I can't believe how much life is going to change in just a few short weeks. I'm still feeling pretty good just tired and feeling pretty heavy!! The doctor said everything is looking wonderful last week and I am measuring just right. We go back to the doctor tomorrow. I have started to stay up at night thinking about everything else I still need to get done. :) I'm pretty tired tonight so I'm hoping for a better nights sleep. All her little body parts are sticking out and moving everywhere. She is a very active little girl! The nursery is looking beautiful. I will post pictures soon, but its getting really close to being done...just a few more things to go up! We have one more week of our childbirth class which makes me sad because I have loved it so much and learned so many wonderful things that make me feel so confident for labor and delivery. I had two beautiful and special showers a few weeks ago and it was so exciting to see so many wonderful friends and family! I am so thankful to all my hostesses and loved ones and those who traveled so far to be at my showers. I also had friends and family that were unable to come but were so kind to send special gifts and I know they would have been at the showers if they could of. I'm going to post some pictures from the showers. I will post again soon with a little update as we get closer and closer to Emma's birthday!! Send all your prayers this way as Brian and I are starting to get anxious and excited for Emma Kates arrival! We love you guys and hope you are having a wonderful week! Ohh yea and how awesome was all the rain we have had in Texas the past week! Everything is looking much greener and happier :)
