39 weeks... oh my, single digits until our due date!

wow, we can't believe that we are almost done with our pregnancy journey and on the brink of starting our parenting journey. we are really excited to welcome babyd to the world and to love and smudge him/her! it's amazing how much you can love someone you haven't even met.

36 weeks... it's the final countdown!

my how time flies when you're having fun! i am doing great, just getting bigger and bigger. i feel good, we're ative, and just getting ready to welcome our little one into this world!
