21 days...

We now have 21 days until Molly Grace's due date! We have been so busy getting thigs done around the house to prepare for her arrival. Her nursery is almost completely finished, swing put together, pack and play put together, and we are working on getting some clothes washed. My bag is mostly packed for the hospital and we are getting the car seat bases installed this weekend! We are both so ready to hold our baby girl!

I have 1 1/2 days of work left and then I'll be home! I have been blessed with this job, but I am definitely ready to be at home to relax a little before Molly Grace gets here.

Here is a picture of me at 35 weeks...




In other news, I have to take the time to brag on my husband. Win has officially passed the CPA exam!!! It has been a long process, but his hard work paid off! I am so very proud of him!

Have a blessed weekend!

Thankful

We have so much to be thankful for. We have had 6 out of 7 baby showers so far and have been so blessed by each of them. We feel so grateful to have these people in our lives that care enough about us to give of their time and money to help us prepare for our Molly Grace's arrival!

We had a shower hosted by some of my favorite girls from Vaughn Park Church of Christ in Montgomery.




We had a wonderful shower hosted by some ladies from Win's parents church.




On Thanksgiving day the Mainor side of Win's family gave us a baby shower.




The Sunday after Thanksgiving the Anderson side of Win's family had a lunch and shower for us.

I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and am measuring right on track in my 34th week, the nurse had a hard time getting Molly Grace's heartbeat because she was moving so much. It was beating at 141 bpm. We are so ready to meet our sweet girl in less than 6 weeks! I am definitely losing my energy again and have had back pains and my feet stay swollen all the time. I know that it'll all be worth it when we see our Molly Grace's face! At least we only have 5 1/2 weeks left!

31 weeks down...9 to go!

I cannot believe that we only have 9 short weeks until we get to meet our Molly Grace! To say we are excited is an understatement! We have been so busy and for me, that has been great. It definitely makes this waiting thing go a lot faster.

Last weekend, I had my first baby shower at Homewood. The girls did a great job hosting and it was a wonderful shower! Here are a few pictures.






This past weekend, we were so busy. I had a very busy day at work on Friday, then headed straight to Win's work for our baby shower there, and then we went to Secret Church that night and got home at 1:15 am. I am so proud of myself for making it through the whole thing because it was such a blessing. God is good and I am SO thankful that we have the freedom to worship our God whenever and wherever we want to. David Platt put a lot into perspective and we were so blessed to be able to hear what he had to say.

This weekend will definitely be more laid back. We have another shower in Montgomery and I cannot wait to see some of my favorite girls that I miss so much!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Week 29

Today I took a sick day. I have a bad sinus infection and didn't sleep well at all last night. Thanks to my Dr. I have a Z pack and should be getting over this very soon.

Molly Grace is continuing to grow and move more and more. I can feel her shifting positions and can feel when her arms or legs are moving/kicking me. Braxton Hicks contractions have started, I am in no pain from them they are just uncomfortable.

I am enjoying the temporary job that I have been blessed with. I have 8 weeks to go and then hopefully a few weeks before our baby girl makes her arrival! We are busy getting her room finished before all the holidays start, when it is "complete" I will post some pictures.

Here is my 29 week picture:

Third Trimester

I am officially in the third trimester! I cannot believe that I am 2/3 of the way there. It really has gone by fast. With this new job, football season, showers, and holidays left, I know it will be time to meet Molly Grace before we know it!

We are so excited and are praying daily for a healthy baby girl and safe delivery. We cannot wait to see what she will look like. Will she have hair? What color will it be? Who will she look more like? How much will she weigh? All of those questions are talked about all the time around here. Less than 3 months to go!







Here is my most updated picture at 27 weeks and 2 days.

God is good!

I don't have a whole lot to post today so I'll just make this one a list form and will have a longer post next week!

-Win passed the Audit portion of the CPA exam and has 2 more parts to take! Not only did he pass, but he passed by a lot! (sorry just wanted to brag on him for a minute)

-Molly Grace moves/kicks more and more each day it seems like and I love it!

-We are headed to the beach tonight and will be there until Sunday. It is our last getaway before Molly Grace arrives and we are so excited!

-I have 4 baby showers on the calendar. :)

-I just got the news that I will be doing a long-term substiute position at Calera Middle School in their library and couldn't be more excited. I will start on Monday and will be done December 20th just in time to rest before baby girl gets here!


God is so good! All the time. Even when we think that we have done it all, God shows us that He is in control!

War Eagle!

Now that football season has begun we are staying very busy! We went to the first 2 home games and had a lot of fun despite the heat. Both games were hot & my feet were so swollen by the end of them.




After the first game, Win & I drove to Atlanta for the night to get away. It was much needed and we had such a low key night and went shopping the next day.




here is my 23 week picture



At 23 weeks I am:
-Definitely have pregnancy insomnia already. I am awake a LOT during the night. My thoughts are of course of Molly Grace and what she will look like, what she'll weigh, imagining her fingers and toes, etc.
-eating more. My appetite has picked up again.
-Growing. I am finally feeling like I am pregnant.
-Feeling Molly Grace moving all the time. I even feel her moving positions sometimes now. She likes to ball up in one area a lot and stay. Win loves feeling her kick and now we can see her kick sometimes if we watch my stomach.

Only 4 months to go!

I'll leave you with one last picture...This guy has no idea what's coming...
