Checking In

One December a couple of years ago, Kyle made a paper link chain in holiday colors that we pinned up around our living room.  I don't remember if we ever meant to tear off a link as a count down to Christmas, but if we had, we would have had to start in August at least, given how long that chain was :)  I've found myself thinking about making a paper chain of links to count down the days until our due date.  Today, I would have torn off #29.  I'm not going to make that chain because I am not that motivated but the countdown is on my mind all the time.  Right next to the countdown to the day that Kyle gets home!  After 36 weeks of pregnancy, 4 weeks seems like nothing!  Especially since babies are born at 38 weeks all the time.  Kyle and I have been talking with our baby about being patient and waiting until her due date.  I'm pretty sure she's on board :)  It's definitely been a relief to move into the point in time where babies can be born and have a very good chance of being healthy.  

I've been feeling a spoiled lately with the baby showers that are being held for me and so appreciative of everyone's excitement.  Here are a few belly pictures from the last few weeks:



 Week 34

 Gorgeous flower arrangements for my shower at Discovery Primary.  All the flowers were brought in from my coworkers' gardens.  I didn't know that flowers were still blooming like this at at the end of Sept.  The staff room was absolutely full of flowers.
