We will be 31 weeks Wednesday. Time really has flown by. My little belly bug has grown lots over the past month. According to my babycenter update...I am carrying a baby that matches the weight of four navel oranges. He should weigh about 3 1/2 pounds this week. The doc said he is measuring a few days early, so possibly a little more. To be honest, I thought they were going to tell me he already weighs a big 5 pounds at my last appointment. I just keep thinking he is going to be a "big un" (as my sweet, country husband says).
We are getting his nursery ready. We got his crib. Blake put it together all by himself and is so proud. It is precious. We have a dresser/changing table that was actually Blake's when he was a baby so it is super special. I am having my Dad sand and stain it to match the crib. I can't wait to see the end result and I will post pics.
I am beyond ready to meet this little boy. The dreams have started again. Just last night, I dreamed about the hospital and labor and him in my arms. Oh, how sweet this day will be. I don't think anyone has stared at these 4d sono pics as much as I have. Every time I look at them, my heart melts. I already want so much for my sweet man. I already want to give him the world.
I can't wait to see my precious husband hold him in his arms. He is going to be a father. My son's father. The best father. I have no doubt in my mind. I am so excited that I get to share this sweet bundle of joy with him.
The countdown has begun....we have 9 weeks to go. Doesn't that sound so much better than 2 months?

The grace of God exalts a man without inflating him, and it humbles a man without debasing him. The person who strives for excellence says, "I am what I am by the grace of God."

Regardless of the road you travel--Lonely Lane, Brokenhearted Boulevard, or Poverty Parkway--there's no place you can go that God can't follow. No heartbreak, no betrayal, no rejection, no failure, no disappointment, and no evil can stop Him from coming near. God will always come for His people. He cannot fail you. He... will never quit you, never forget you, and never leave you.
It may be unfulfilled. It may be unrestored. But when anything that's shattered is laid before the Lord, just watch and see, it will not be unreedemed.
