Baby Shower #4 & #5

Diapers, diapers everywhere!! Baby stuff galore!!

Last weekend we seriously RACKED UP on baby gear, clothes, diapers, toys, etc for Wyatt. I know I've said it before but this kid is going to be the best dressed person in our household!

On Friday we had a diaper shower hosted by some family friends. Being so blessed we now have 2 (yes, I said 2) closets full of diapers ranging from newborn all the way to size 4!! Looks like we won't be buying any diapers for a while :). The shower was low key (perfect) and featured a YUMMY taco bar.

Sunday we were monsooned with gifts from our family! We finished out our big items - stroller, check & infant carrier, check - along with more clothes, toys, bath goodies, etc. We are so blessed. :)

Here are some photos from our weekend showers:

Be Thankful: Friends Like Family

Today is one of B & my best friend's birthdays - a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!! The birthday boy, his beautiful wife and their amazing little girl have become more than friends over the past few years; they are family. Today, when I sent him a "happy birthday" text his response was such an amazing reminder of how thankful we are to call them family...

"Thank girl. Now pop out that baby and make it my best bday ever!"

See?! Even THEY love our little Wyatt and he isn't even here yet. So blessed to have them as friends and for Wyatt to have them to learn from as he grows. God is good :)

Be Thankful: God's Words

Being towards the end of pregnancy my emotions are running wild. The slightest emotion change and it's like someone turned on a water hose. Y'all that know me, KNOW that isn't typical... It's honestly driving me nuts!

Today I'm resting in the fact that God's will is always best... His words comfort even when you're upset over the trivial things in life. I'm so thankful for His grace and comfort always but especially now when I feel like my emotions are irrational. It's as if He is telling me that my tears are ok and that He will stand by me no matter what - even when hormones get the best of me.

Praise God!

Be Thankful: Bama Flip Flops

When you're pregnant it's the little things that make your day shine...

Today I'm super thankful for my Bama flip flops that I'm rocking at work (shhhhh... Don't tell). They allow my swollen preggo feet to stay comfy as possible.

What little things make your day shine?

Be Thankful: False Labor

This morning has been rather eventful. I woke up for work as always, dragged myself through my morning routine and poured myself into my car for my 1-hour commute. The only difference was that I started having contractions just before I left the house (around 6:45am)! Now I knew that this was most likely false labor but it still was nerve wracking for the long commute. Once I got to my office I was able to time the contractions - had 5 during the 8 o'clock hour, 4 during the 9 o'clock hour and 3 during the 10 o'clock hour. As they progressively slowed down I'm figuring all is well!

Yesterday's report of 2cm & 50% effaced also helped keep my mind on the false labor. Needless to say, I'll be packing my hospital bag tonight just to be safe ;).

Today I am thankful for God's calming grace. As I started feeling the stronger contractions this morning I had a moment of panic that was quickly followed by a calming feeling as if someone put their arms around my shoulders and whispered, "it will be ok... Stay calm." My prayer is the same calm will overcome me during actual labor!

Due date is 27 days away, but I'm not feeling confident that we will make it that long! ;)

Here He Comes...

Happy 36 weeks to me! Today's doctor's appointment was awesome. We found out that I'm 2cm dilated and 50% effaced... Which is great news! Mr. Wyatt is head down and in position.

Our next appointment is next Tuesday. I'm interested to see if I dilate more or stay the same.

Now... We wait!
