What keeps you smiling, sweet friends?

37 weeks

I think it's safe to say we officially feel like part of the waiting game. Honestly, I had such a moment the other day in Publix when I bought a carton of milk that had an expiration date past that of our baby's due date! 

We greatly appreciate your prayers during this final "push" (no pun intended) towards parenthood and please know that we are so deeply thankful for all of the love, support and encouragement we've already received along the way. Mike and I cannot wait to introduce our little one to y'all very soon!

35 weeks

This pregnancy is certainly closing in on the end...like it wouldn't hurt to do a load of baby laundry, pack our hospital bag and seriously soak up our last handful of just-the-two-of-us moments kind of end. What the what?! Please don't be surprised if I hit y'all with an overly emotional, surely hormonally driven ode to my Michael here soon because that last thought can catch me right in the throat if I settle on it too long. But don't get me wrong - we are so very happy to be adding our little love to the mix! With great anticipation, little one, we spend our days dreaming of meeting you soon!
