Baby update

We went to the doctor for our 36 week check up yesterday and everything is looking great. We were supposed to get an ultrasound, but one of the machines was down. So we will get some new pictures of our little man next week. =) The doctor said she thinks Abraham is weighing in somewhere between 7 1/2 and 8 lbs. That's a bit scary for me. I was thinking more like 6 lbs. She also said I'm measuring about a week ahead now. We're getting really close!

I thought I would show you some gifts that Abraham received recently. Jaime made him a beautiful blanket. I just love the color blue that she picked and it's so soft. Zsuzsanna made him an adorable bath towel. The little ducks are so cute!! I can't wait to wrap Abe up in them.

Stocking up

I've been cooking and freezing meals for when the baby comes this past week. So far I have fifteen pounds of hamburger fried and bagged in 1/2 cup portions, two pounds of meatballs, twenty five bean burritos, ten cheese enchiladas, ten BBQ cups, twenty taco cups, a chicken pot pie, and six pork roasts. I need to get some more chicken so I can make some things up with it. We stocked up on things like bread, beans, tortillas, veggies, spaghetti, sauces, rice, and spices. I plan on using the hamburger for tacos, soup, chili, goulash, and hamburger helper. Any suggestions on things I might have missed are welcome. I'd really like to be able to just stay at home with Abraham for his first couple of weeks.

Our 3rd Anniversary

Chris took last week off as we celebrated our 3rd anniversary on the 15th. We also finished a few projects we've been meaning to work on. We still have a couple of things that need done before the baby arrives, but it's looking better. We managed to purge three car loads of junk into the neighborhood dumpster. It feels so great to have that much gone. It's crazy how much stuff can accumulate in such a short amount of time. It was really nice having my husband home for 10 straight days. It sure didn't feel that long though, more like a long weekend. We only have five weeks until our due date. I'm excited and scared at the same time. I'm so looking forward to meeting our little man. =) I spend most of my evenings watching him move around. He seems to be running out of room fast.

Time seems to be flying by

I've had a pretty productive week. I managed to get all the 0-3 month clothing washed and ready, along with all the receiving blankets and extra bedding. I had quite a few loads thanks to my sister. It really is a blessing that she gave us so much. =) I even have a tub full of girl clothes to store. I also made up a list of meals that I want to get made up and frozen for after Abraham is born.

We have a pretty busy day ahead of us. We have a doctors appointment this morning, and a shower at Chris' work this afternoon. This evening my Father-in-law is going to help get all the furniture moved into our new living room.

A beautiful day!

It's really is a beautiful day outside today. It's a sunny seventy degrees right now. I started out the day just wanting to crawl back into bed, but now I've got my windows open enjoying the breeze and the sunshine. I love being able to just enjoy the simple things that God has given us. I think the only way the day could be nicer is if someone decides to mow their lawn, I just love the smell of freshly mowed grass. I hope everyone else is enjoying their day.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
