3 months and counting

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of craziness filled with events, nursery building, and lots of love....I am reminded every day of how truly blessed we are to get to live this life the Lord has created for us.....with ministry, love, and a baby on the way....Sometimes I can't do anything but just and smile at all the Lord has in store for us.....

A couple weeks ago I came home one Friday and found that my husband had gone ahead and started to paint Addyson's nursery...and it was absolutely beautiful.....however, it just didn't happen to match the fabric we had already ordered.....In his defense, he didn't have the swatches and so now we are kinda like hmmm....More than likely it will end up getting painted, but it's a great start!!!!!!

On top of that, Ron's incredible parents bought Addyson's crib and it is gorgeous....Although JCPenny sent us the wrong crib the first time around, (However, we didn't realize this till Ron had gone and picked up the crib, attached it to the roof of his car, got it home, lifted it all the way upstairs and into her room, only to find out that it was the wrong crib, and he had to completely load it back up, back on top of his car, all by himself, and take it back to JCPenny), the second time must be a charm and we had a blast putting it together!!!!

The Before....

The Finished Product!!!!

IT's absolutely gorgeous!!!! The fabric for all the bedding and the curtains has arrived at my mom's and she's working like a busy bee to get it done before she comes to visit in August.....

It's been kinda crazy over the last couple of weeks to see how my belly has grown...It's funny to hear the comments I get....There's the nice comments like, "Oh well, you're almost 7 months....you're tiny"...... and then there's the comments that I are not so nice....like, "Jenny, you've been huge for a while now...."  Ya, not something you should say to a pregnant women, ever....

27 weeks, where did this come from?

27 weeks 2 days

It's crazy for me to think that I am almost 7 months pregnant.....And that I only have 3 more months.....It has passed by so fast....and I feel like the next 2 months are going to fly by....In 10 days we head to Birmingham for Motion Confrence...and I will finally get to see my grandmother after almost 10 months of not seeing her....Before I moved to Florida I spent every single day with her, so I absolutely can't wait to see her, along with all our friends...and Sunday July 31st my Mama's dear friend Suzie is throwing me a shower in Birmingham....Let me know if you want to go :)

Then in August my parents are coming to help us finish the nursery and for my baby shower....after that I will only have like 1.5 months left....it's a whirlwind of crazyness and I am so excited...

I can definitely tell I am leaving that Golden Trimester, and forging into my third trimester.....With the tiredness creeping in, a whole lot of back pain, and my not so nice friend, Mr. Heartburn, I am afraid that these next few months are going to be challenging, but as the days grow shorter, and it seems like Addyson will be here sooner than later, I have been so blessed with little gifts....A cute outfit here, some extra diapers one day....but today I got an absolutely amazing gift and I cannot wait to put it in Addy's nursery.....

 

So many things to look forward to....and so so blessed!!!!!

Until the day she arrives, and loving every minute of it
