40 weeks PLUS 4 days

Fall has come to Greenville, South Carolina and I am loving every minute it feels like fall.. I can smell the fires and I love seeing the leaves swirl around on the streets and enjoy waking up and putting my bare feet on my cold bathroom floor!..

sweaters and socks and blankets and hot tea and cool walks.. I do love it when we hit this season!.. Today my husband took me up to Asheville, NC.. its about an hour drive but a lovely drive in the MTs. I felt like I was back in New England or back in New York.. such a peaceful feeling..

ANYWAY.. no baby yet she still seems quite content and though I am waiting and hoping today is the day i don't want to rush her.. I know she will come when she is ready!

Just finished reading, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, by Katie DiCamilillo.

it is a wonderful children's book and I recommend it to everyone!

COUNT DOWN

I am in my 39th week and feel like My little girl is very cozy and comfy and its like she has no plan on coming out.. though I have 5 days til my due date I do believe that day will come and go and it will go into the weeks following.. I do hope she will realize she needs to come out sometime so I don't have to get induced.. She must sense that life in the womb is a perfect little haven..

She seems to be a very content little girl!.. We are both so looking forward to meeting her..

we got the birth tub at the house just got to set it up and all is ready for her to come.. I have finally stocked my home with food.. everything is organized ( for the most part) and now is just waiting time..

The next time I type I will be a Mommy.. entering a chapter of my life that will change me forever... Though fear has overcome me many times God has been so faithful and personal as He has reminded me over and over that He won't leave me and that He has chose this time for us to have a baby!.

There is a time for everything.. My husband is feeling so much better about this birth and is so much more prepared.. he has been wonderful asking what things help me relax.. if he should go buy candles or get certain music.. wanting to make the atmosphere as relaxing as possible..! I have been praying and praying that God will bless us with a wonderful birth experience..!

and I pray that I won't get mad at Ross!..

My first Pair of Mittens!

Though not a thing of beauty I am proud to share with you my first pair of mittens..

Looking back at one of my old journals from High school I noticed a list of things I wanted to do or accomplish.. like.. learning another language, playing an instrument, go to Montana.. make a pair of mittens.. ect... So here is one of the things on my list that I have accomplished..
