My how we've grown!

I was looking over pictures and I can't believe how much we've (Gwizzie and I) have grown!

Here we are at 5 months:

Here we are now!

These pictures are taken at 38 weeks. We are doing good I have three doctors appointments every week. There are two Non-Stress Tests (NST) where they give me an ultra sound and check the amniotic fluid. Then I sit in a bed and they monitor her resting and active heart rate and my contractions. I have only had minimal contractions nothing to speak of but I am ready to carry her in my arms and not in my tummy! :)

We are very excited I have 9 days to my due date and 16 days until they'll induce. Hopefully they won't have to induce. Danny says that he's tired of me being pregnant and he's just ready to hold his baby girl! We can't wait to let you know what her name is and what she looks like! Thanks for all your love and prayers! We're almost there!

Family Visit and Gwizzies Room!

So, I know it's been a long time since I updated! We were really busy traveling for the holidays and we had lot's of company and I've been getting really tired early. I feel like an old lady, ready for bed at 6-ish!! :) I think my body's just trying to get as much sleep as possible while it's still able.

We had our shower down here, and much of the family came down. We sure did have a full house; but it was so much fun! Eli and Ethan were having fun finding things to play with. They sure do keep you laughing!

Well with all those people here we put them all to work! (Ethan even helped by sweeping!) Kelly, Karen and I painted Gwizzie's room, we LOVE the color. It's cheery without being too bright. So we've put up a few pictures:

Auntie Kelly and Grandma Karen put tons of love into Gwizzie's crib! They made the quilt, the bumper and all of the other pieces! It looks so great with her room.

How sweet are these flowers? I love how girlie it is!

Rick, Matt and Danny did a TON of work too! (Are you seeing a pattern, if you come over we put you to work!) Rick and Matt cut these cabinets and brought them down and then the guys put them together in our back nook! It's so nice to have extra cabinet space to put things. We were able to clear out Gwizzies closet so now she only has her stuff in her room! I know we'll never be totally ready, but we do feel more prepared now! In addition to the cabinets, the guys did yard work, cleaned out the garage and put a new walkway in the front so we can get the stroller in and out without it getting dirty!

Thank you to everyone who came down and worked! And many thanks to all the family and friends who have sent gifts, love and prayers! We are so thankful that our little daughter's life is already filled with so much love! We look forward to sharing her with all of you very very soon!! We love you all, THANKS!
