38 weeks!


I was 38 weeks on Monday.
I cannot believe we are SO close to meeting our son.
I'm trying to stay patient.
Trying.

At my 36 week check up I was
one centimeter.
At 37 weeks, still a one.
I go tomorrow and I'm really hoping
for more progress.

She will also strip membranes
if he's low enough to do so.
Last week he wasn't.
I was just a little bummed.

I'm ready to
have my body back :).

If he doesn't come by next Friday,
November 4th,
I will be induced.

My husband can't take off any work
except the day of delivery
so a Friday birth day is ideal for us.
Maybe he will choose to come this Friday? :)
A girl can dream can't she?!

amazing weather

It feels amazing here today.
Like I can't even describe it.

The high is 68.
It's incredible.
Finally some open window weather :).

In celebration of such amazingness
I got up and met a friend at a local pumpkin patch
then we headed to the zoo.

Fresh air all around.








It's good to have friends :D

36 weeks!


I have made it to 36 weeks with my little mister
and I can't believe it has gone by so fast.
I go to the doctor tomorrow and I
PRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
I have some sort of progress towards going into labor soon.
My body is in terrible pain.
I have no idea how I will make it another 4 weeks.
IF I make it another 4 weeks.
We all say that don't we?



We made it "home" and our house is coming together nicely.
I'm enjoying it...mostly.
I am not, however, enjoying the hardwood floors
ALL over.
I swept AND mopped the other day
and it took a good two hours
and I paid for it greatly in my back.

I'm having a slightly difficult time creating a new schedule.
(I always do with change)
And I feel like once I do get it down it will all change again very soon.
Thankfully I do know that Isabelle naps from 1-3
and the girls go to bed at 7 PM every night.

We don't know much about the hubby's new schedule just yet
but until November 4th he will work/train
7a-4:30p Mon-Thurs
and 7-11 Fri.
That has us feeling fairly normal right now.
But again, that will change just as our son arrives
and out of whack we go again :).

So that's my update.

moving.breast cancer.insanely busy.

We are moving next weekend. We have to go to Waco this weekend to nail down a rental property to lease. We were on the path to buying a house but then quickly realized how long that process can be. We didn't want to rush into anything we didn't absolutely love so we decided renting for 6-12 months would be best...although I REALLY do NOT want to be moving again in 6 months. Oh well. I'm just thankful to be getting back to the place we love.

My mom found out about a week and a half ago that she has breast cancer. It has been a barrage of doctor appointments and decisions and stressful moments. I find it no surprise that God provided my husband a job literally a week before we found this out. There are many other things happening that might involve myself having a genetics test done very soon.

In all my madness I took some time today to photograph a friends little family. I don't know what would make me volunteer such a project with all the mess I have going on in my house right now but I'm glad I could do it before we leave.



(Isabelle offering her payment of gratitude :))
(P.S. wouldn't that make a great album name? Will Play for Rocks. Hehehe.)

I am close to 34 weeks now. Insane how time has flown by.

The girls are growing so big every day. Not sure how this all happened either.

Hope everyone out there in blogger land it doing well.

Say a prayer for us if you think about it.

Thanks!
