Patience...

Tomorrow will mark our pregnancy as full term - 37 weeks. My doctor is now comfortable with Reece making his appearance. We are asking for prayers of patience. Monty and I are both very excited to finally meet and see our baby boy and want it now! However, we know that when he is ready, he will come. God knows his birthday and so we just ask that we can be patient with the timing.

I went to the doctor on Friday and had a sonogram to check is growth. He has only gained a pound in 3 weeks - which is good news. They estimate his weight at about 7 pounds 8 ounces. We were worried that he would be 8 1/2 or 9 pounds.
As for the "trapdoor", it's still in the slow process of opening. At our all day "Prepared Childbirth" class yesterday, Monty learned a lot more than he or I had anticipated. There are a few things that some people still hadn't told me - and they are totally inappropriate to write on a blog - even for me!

The nursery is finally finished and I will post pictures as soon as I take them. The missing piece was delivered yesterday~ the all important glider.

Last weekend, I had a great brunch baby shower hosted by 8 of our friends from our A.B.F. at church. I love these friends and feel so fortunate to have found a great church family that continues outside of the walls of the church. Reece was showered with gifts - a video monitor (for Mom and Dad), handpainted canvases, special blankets made by Jessica, great toys, and some gift cards! It was a great morning.

Here's the lastest pic of our little man~

We are so excited to hold you in our arms!!!!
