Updates

Well it's been a few weeks since I last posted. Things have been moving along pretty quickly. I find it hard to believe I only have 9 weeks left until my due date. My belly has grown quite large and baby Eli is getting very strong with his kicks. I love coming home and being able to watch him move around my belly. So far I've gained about 25 lbs. and I can no longer see my toes. Along with the other changes that my body is going through, I am definitely not getting much sleep. I think my body is training me for when baby Eli comes.

Over the last few weekends James and I have been hard at work refinishing baby furniture. I think we'll probably finish it up within the next couple of weekends :-) I'm excited to get the crib done and ready for baby Eli. I've also started stocking up on baby items. I guess I'm starting my "nesting" phase.

I'm thrilled to know that baby Eli's birth is right around the corner! To be honest though, I find myself going back and forth between emotions of being super happy & eager for him to arrive, and then being scared about the birth process & and how we'll adjust after he's born. I just keep praying and lifting all of these wonderful feelings up to the Lord.

Of course we've been terrible about taking pics of my pregnancy. But it is definitely on our list to do either this weekend or next. I'll also be having another ultrasound soon so we can post those as well :-)
