36 weeks now!

So here I am with just under 4 weeks to go until my due date. For those of you who don't know, there is a good chance that I'll be having her early, as she's already in position and I've started dilating! Yikes! We got that news on Wednesday, and that night I started having contractions that were 5 minutes apart. It turned out to be false labor, though, which I'm thankful for to buy us time to set up the nursery and do some final preparations.

I haven't been good at putting up pictures, so I will add some belly pics now. I don't know if I've actually grown too much more in the belly, but she has dropped. The above pic is from just yesterday, when I am at 36 weeks. Not my favorite picture, but I know several of you are dying to see what I look like now!

Above is Darby and I, when I was at 32 weeks.I think the picture above is about 34 weeks.This picture is at 35 weeks. This is me at about 351/2 weeks at my work baby shower. God truly blessed us through my sweet coworkers!

This is my adorable cake from my work shower. Pretty creative!

27 Weeks

Here's the picture for 27-weeks. I'm getting closer!

24-Week Pictures

Well, 2 weeks makes a huge difference! Darby and I were scrolling through pictures from the beginning until now, and it's crazy how big I'm getting! I am now at 24-weeks, in my 25th week. Starting to think that this is coming quickly, and I don't know if I will ever be ready. Praying for God's beautiful grace to fall on our lives and make us into the parents that would honor Him as we raise our little girl. Thinking about names still, and hope to have a decision soon!

Baby Updates

I have some friends and family that are dying for the belly shots to begin, so here goes. I have been taking them periodically and not posting them, so I will try to be more faithful at posting! First off, if you haven't heard yet, we are having a GIRL!!! Our 13-week appointment was a routine visit, and we weren't supposed to have a sonogram until 20-weeks. But our doctor was super nice and offered one, as we happened to be her last appt. of the day. She was able to tell pretty clearly that it's a girl.

Here is a picture of our baby girl reclining with her arms up behind her head.

We posted the sonogram videos on youtube. Click on the links below to see the videos:

Now onto the belly shots!

This is me at 13-weeks:15 weeks. I just ate a large meal, I think that's why I'm popping out so much!These 2 are shots from today, I'm now at 17 weeks.We have another prenatal visit this week. Oh, and I have an appt. with a cardiologist the 6th due to elevated heartrate and getting out of breath a lot. We would appreciate your prayers!
