39 Weeks!

He's almost here!!! Of course we're super excited!

Thank you for praying for our decision about Matt's second job. We decided to move on from it, which was a great decision but definitely is continuing to teach us about trusting and resting in God's care and provision. Please pray that God will lead us to what He has next to provide for our family. Thanks. The great thing about only working one job instead of two is that Matt has been able to take time to get ready for Caleb's arrival! Here he's testing out a carrier by filling it with food to get closest to what Caleb's weight might be! :)

I'm SO GLAD to be on maternity leave! I've actually had time to rest, exercise, connect with good friends and hear mommy and labor advise, wash tiny little clothes, take more time with God, and run tons or errands! I have no idea how I would have been prepared for Caleb's arrival if I was still working. The pool has been a wonderful way to relax and enjoy the summer that I feel like I've missed this year. It's amazing how being in water makes Caleb seem so much lighter! :) SO nice to have Matt join me as well, now that he's home more! Even if our summer is only a couple weeks long, I'm thankful for it!

One more week til his due date, although we're ready now! The Dr. said he's dropped, but it doesn't really look like anything has changed. No other progression to report other than braxton hicks contractions on and off all the time. Overall I've been feeling pretty good. Sometimes I wonder if Caleb might just push his foot all the way through my side, I laugh when I feel like a waddling penguin, restless legs often keep me awake at night (but I've enjoyed getting extra time to pray for friends around the world), and I've been taking advantage of getting to eat extra dessert without gaining pounds!

Can't wait for the post where we'll have a 3rd face included in our family picture! :) We're so anxious to finally get to SEE him! SOON!!!
