Thank you all for your prayers, support and encouragement!  Our little girl is doing great!  I'm gaining energy by the day and feeling good.  More pictures are on the way soon!

40 Weeks... Due Date

40 Week Baby Bump

Baby Bump Photo Shoot

A couple weeks ago, Miah blessed us with a photo shoot.  We had a fun time taking the pictures and she got some great shots!  These were at 38 weeks, I believe.  Thanks you again, Miah!

Meet Onyx

This past Sunday, Josh and I added a new puppy to the mix.  He is a 9 week old, German Shepherd.  So far he is a good little dog with lots of energy and personality.  He is catching on quickly to house training and commands, which is really nice.  He and Trooper are becoming good friends, although Trooper gets a little tired of his antics at times and a little jealous of the fact

that Onyx gets to eat frequently.  = )

32 Weeks

32 week baby bump

Life has been super full the last few weeks between holiday fun, working on our new house (more on that soon), visiting with family and such that I can hardly believe how long it has been since I posted.  Sorry to all of you who feel neglected again...

Everything has continued to progress right on schedule.  Baby is head down and has been for the last few weeks, so we'll see if there is any last minute flipping.  Overall I feel really good, a little more tired and I get out of breath more quickly, but that's to be expected.  I'm enjoying the bigger baby movements and watching the bumps and jumps that happen.  I still can't believe how close to the end we are!

Baby stats (approximately):

15.2 to 16.7 in

2.5 to 3.8 lb
