40 Weeks and No More Counting!

Finally finally finally. 40 weeks is here! I feel like I have been (insert number of weeks) and counting for ages and now the time is finally here! 

I had my 40 week visit today and by the look of things she should be here within the week!

I am officially on "bed rest" or as I like to think of it sentenced to the couch. I go back in Friday for a blood pressure check and I am hoping I will just be headed in to the hospital instead! We shall see! :)

Here is my very last bump picture! 

40 WEEKS! 

Now I just have to put my feet up and WAIT! 

Say a little prayer for us this week...we cannot wait to become parents and finally meet our sweet Emmeline! 

39 Weeks and Birthday Dreams

Well as you might have noticed I missed a week! Week 38 came and went and to be honest it was the most difficult yet. So I find it fitting that there is no 38 week picture to commemorate, but now I am coming back with week 39, which might be the very best week I've had yet!

Yesterday was my birthday. 26 years old. My mom posted this picture of me from by original birth day June 4, 1987

 Being this pregnant on my birthday has certainly given me some perspective. In previous years I feel like my birthdays have been more about how you celebrate another amazing year to come--heavy on the celebration...and light on the reflection of the day of my birth. That day really gets lost in the mix! 

Now that I am eagerly awaiting the birth day of my sweet little girl it gives me a new found appreciation for all that my mom went through and the anticipation that surrounds when a child will make their arrival into this world. 

I certainly don't think I will have another birthday where I don't thank my mother for carrying me for 9 months! 

Here is my 39 week bump picture! Little girl is certainly taking over! 

Now just counting down the days until Emmeline's birth day!!!
