36 weeks and counting...

Well we are getting close!!! I am 36 weeks pregnant and Hallie is growing like a weed! The fetal specialist, Dr. Tabor, is measuring her at 6 lbs 15oz... that is how big Avery was when she was born at 38 weeks.  Crazy.  We are all doing well and managing our stress level fine. As the days tick by, I get more and more nervous.  They are still saying a VBAC is do-able if that is what I choose to do... but things may change as we get closer...
Other than that I do not have any news to report.  I am in MAJOR nesting mode, cleaning out everything in the entire house.  Trying to get as prepared as possible.  On my list today is pack a bag!


We are looking forward to Easter!! Be thankful for your family, friends, and God's abundant love!  Thankful that He sent Jesus to teach us of God's loving ways and to die for our sins.  Where would we be without Him!  I can't help but reflect on how Mary must have felt watching her only son beaten and tortured for his love of the Lord.  What pain she must have felt.  As a mother I can not imagine.  She never seemed to lose faith in God even through all of the unnecessary brutality that Jesus endured... I can only hope and pray that the Lord blesses me with that type of strength when I need it most.

May the Lord bless you and protect you.  May the Lord smile down on you and be gracious to you.  May the Lord show you his favor and give you peace.

Numbers 6:24-26
