Wow, it's hard to believe we're already 39 weeks along! Just one more week until our sweet Baby John's due date! We're sure ready to meet him, though we won't induce until the 22nd if he doesn't come on his own... It's funny because we thought we would already have met our little guy - even our doctor thought he'd be here early - but it looks like he's comfy and in no hurry!
We can't complain, though - we've been very blessed to not have any complications thus far! Because John hasn't yet made his grand arrival, Andy has 3 of his 5 final exams done with - praise God! He does have another on May 12th and his last on the 13th, so as much as we look forward to meeting our little bundle of joy, we can't complain if he
isn't early! Also, I'm still able to work right now, and my coworkers have been wonderful in trying to help me stay off my feet whenever possible (which is no easy feat in physical therapy!).
Speaking of my awesome coworkers, every time one of us is expecting a baby, everyone chips in to throw the parent-to-be a diaper shower. Well I was absolutely FLOORED when my coworkers surprised us with our nursery bedding set instead of diapers! What's even better is they had no idea that in the meantime, I had been a hormonal and indecisive mess trying to decide on a "plan B" because we were reluctant to spend the money on the nursery set I loved. :) So this was an even better surprise than they will ever know! ;) So here are a few photos of the finished nursery - we love how the bedding set completes it! Now we just need our Baby Boy to arrive and
really complete his new room!
Wayne-Dog at his favorite look-out spot in John's room:
The crib with the super cute canvases (that Laura made) hanging above it - they are a
perfect match to the nursery set! And the beautiful quilt Mom made is hanging over the crib:
Andy "breaking in" the rocker by rocking the pup to sleep: ;)
A few profile shots...
38 weeks:
and 39 weeks:
"When's my brother going to get here?? I'm ready to play!"
And a cute one of our Wayne-Dog to end:
Speaking of Wayne, we're pretty sure he's aware something BIG is about to happen - just this weekend he started
really wanting attention and whining! We can't wait for him to meet Baby John - hope it's instant love and not jealousy! ;) Take care and God bless! Have a wonderful weekend and an early HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the moms out there!
Love,
Abby, Andy, Baby John, and Wayne-Dog :)
...to the fears!
From the tough breaks...
...to learning to bake!
From the messes...
...to, well, more messes!
From the tough guys...
...to the black eyes.
From about to terrorize...
...to moments of big surprise!
From matching duds...
...to the best of buds!
Mom, we love you!
