A Beautiful Weekend!

Good Morning!

Well, I knew it would happen eventually I just didn't know when. I missed a week in my final countdown! I feel there was good reason though!

Last weekend my wonderful friends Amanda and Michelle threw me and baby girl a baby shower! It was simple and perfect! Both my sisters, my mom and mother-in-law all came down for the weekend which was so special! The only part of the weekend that was less than pleasant was coming down with swimmers ear (and no I hadn't been swimming, if I had at least it might have been worth it!). I woke up in the middle of the night with intense ear pain and knew that Saturday morning before the shower I would be going to the walk-in (woohoo!). Thankfully living in a smallish town, it took about 15 minutes to get looked at and be on my way to getting my prescription filled. I still had a wonderful time with everyone and loved having family in town! I only wish I could have been more alert for all the visiting :) Thankfully today (a full week later) I can once again hear out of my ear and feel much better! Now it is time to start cleaning up the house after having company ;)

I won't put up too many pictures but just give you a glimpse and show you a picture of my family of 3 at 34 weeks!

I felt so truly blessed to have such a wonderful baby shower put on for our little one! Thank you everyone who came and also thank you everyone who couldn't come but wanted to shower our baby with love and some pretty cute gifties! 

Hope you all have a great weekend! To be a little random: Can you believe there is only one more week of August? I cannot! I feel a little sad to see summer leave but mainly excited to be soon in the month of baby girls expected arrival! And also, who isn't ready for a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte?!?! Right? It may be my favorite part of fall :) Anyhoo, off I go!

With love.

33 Weeks with only 7 Weeks to go!

Hello All!

I hope you have had a wonderful Tuesday! For most of you out there tomorrow is probably the middle of your work week so that's an exciting thing!

Baby Tookie is feeling quite large in me this week. As I said in a previous post, the little feet under my ribs would probably become an annoyance at some point, and well.. today is probably the first day that I have really started to feel that annoyance haha. It seems these days at work and around the house I drop things a lot more (I am sure I don't but with it being more difficult to bend down, it sure does feel that way), and today she was just all up in there making it difficult even to sit with a slight slouch, let alone bend all the way down to pick something up. All that being said, it is exciting to know the end is soon near and she will be with us out in the fresh air!

Here we are (apologies for the worst picture ever!):

I also just wanted to share a passage that left me feeling very convicted this afternoon, as well as encouraged, and blessed. 

Ephesians 4:1-2

"Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. ² Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love."

Happy Tuesday and thanks again for joining us in our countdown!

With Love.
