Day 395

Belly News

Rebekah wasn't quite confident enough to show the whole belly...but I think she looks beautiful. We're 36 weeks, tomorrow! That means only 28 days left...although we're expecting less. Rebekah had her cardiologist appointment, today. She does suffer from a speedy heartbeat, but they won't deal with it until several weeks after the baby is born. For now, neither Rebekah nor the baby are in immediate danger.

We'll get baby stats and more pictures on Friday!

Until then...we're all packed and ready to go! The uber-cute (If-I-do-so-say-myself), blue folder houses all of our maps, directions, addresses, and important phone numbers.

The cradle linens are washed and ready...a moo-cow waititng.

And the house cleaned...and repainted (I've seriously been a crazy woman)...


Oh! And my sweet friend from work (thanks, Kara!) added this gem to baby boy's library. Have you read it? It features an empty pouched kangaroo.... It's a must read!


That's it for now; I'll post again after Friday's appointment!

  11. I love your organization and your energy! Can't wait for baby to get here! I haven't seen that book, but now I'm going to look or it. Looks like a good one. There's another one called The Perfect Gift (I think) and it's written by a birthmom. Our agency gave it to us when Dman was born and I still can't read it without crying.

  15. Now, how did you find our same curtains, but in new colors? Are they the same? I'm intrigued ;). Love and miss you like crazy...SOOOOO stinkin' excited. So excited. Just cannot wait for the phone calls to start. Somehow, I think I'll be last to deliver, so it gives me hope to know I'll get to hear about sweet Baby P soon.

    In case I don't get another chance before you leave, I just wanted to say that I hope it all goes incredibly well for all of you. Thanks so much for sharing your journey, it's been wonderful to "walk" with you every step of the way.

  19. Rebekah!
    Yeah for you and Ben!!! So pumped and excited for both of you!

    Rebekah is truly such a precious, precious person! I hope and pray that God continues to hold her tightly over the next few weeks, through the delivery, and in the weeks/months following!

    You are so lucky and blessed to have her in your life. God has matched you both perfectly!

    I will be praying especially for Rebekah, that she feels strong, free from pain and/ or complications... and that her heart is protected by our loving Father!
    Hugs.... :)
