For those of you who don't know, this weekend has been quite a little adventure. It seems that my little boy is making preparations to come a little early. No, I'm not in labor as I'm writing this, but we have had a few "scares" that has given us the wake up call we've probably needed!
Almost this entire pregnancy, especially lately, almost everyone has been telling me that first born babies arrive late. Now, I know this isn't completely true as I am the first born and was a week early, but I realize it happens a lot. In fact, two of my friends who were due end of January ended up both being at least a week late (but I'm now so happy that baby boy Kaievan and baby girl Dylan are happy and healthy and here as of a few days ago!!!). So, I kind of had it in my head that Adrian would be late as well. I am certainly ready for him to be, and hope to get to meet him this week!
In our panic, Nick and I got almost ALL the household chores done we've been putting off. I cleaned the bathroom, pantry, kitchen (even the lamp shades), dusted everything, organized the nursery and our bedroom where Adrian will be for at least a month and a half, and packed for the hospital. I am almost giddy that his diaper bag is packed with handsome little outfits for him! All will be securely in the newly cleaned and vacuumed car in the next couple days. Whew. Here's some pics of Adrian's bassinet (thank you, Erica!), his possible coming home outfit (thank you, Gramsie!), the thank-you basket for the L&D nurses, and my packed suitcase.
One fun, wonderful thing that happened this weekend is the baby shower from my wonderful friends at Tar Landing Baptist Church! Michele, Dana, and Julianna put sooo much time, money and effort into making me feel blessed and I certainly did! The shower was Safari-themed, and it was perfectly coordinated from the cake to the decorations. I felt truly overwhelmed and I KNOW I am so blessed to have such great friends as these! Many women from the church came and blessed us with diapers, wipes, books, clothes and other things for Adrian. We are well-taken care of and lacking nothing! Nick and I feel so grateful to attend a church that is SO generous and SO giving - this is something we are passionate about, and while we've been placed humbly in the receiving end of it these past few months, we are excited about being a part of a church that gives! If any of you from church are reading this...THANK YOU!
I'm hoping to have lots more things to write in the next week or two. The Lord has truly been the "lifter of our heads" this week in many ways and I can't wait to be able to brag about Him and what He's done soon! He is faithful!
