It won't be long now.  ^_^  I've been dilated at 1cm for 2 weeks now.  And there's only 2 weeks to go!  It's amazing how quickly this pregnancy has just whizzed by!  We found out the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and when I think about it like that, it seems forever ago.  But when I think about only having 2 weeks until he's due... WOW!  I just can't believe it! 

We're almost done getting ready. 

And we have so much to be thankful for!  Our church gave me a "Blessing Shower" a few weeks ago.  It's where the ladies of the church write messages of encouragement, Scripture, poetry, give gifts, brush my hair (^_^), and feed me lunch.  It was wonderful!  And they all seemed led by the Spirit to speak to me exactly what I needed to hear!  We've also had lots of friends give items of clothing, seats (car, bouncy, etc.), and even service (painting, planning, cleaning).  My hubby's work threw HIM a baby shower, too!  The items were mostly "daddy" related, which I thought was awesome ("My daddy can outcode your daddy" bib, "Daddy's little speedster" jammies, etc.).

The most thanks goes to God for opening my womb, providing a healthy pregnancy, healthy ultrasounds, and bringing me full-term.  He also answered prayer in giving us a son (so far as we know, anyway), which we prayed for.  Personally, I've been believing Him for this baby to have green eyes, in honor of both grandmothers who have green eyes.  Both grandfathers have brown eyes, and that's all we've been able to have so far is brown-eyed babies.  ^_^  So, I'm praying for green eyes.  I'm also praying for a mellow child, one whose emotions run pretty even-kieled, like Beth.  That would give me 2 and 2 for temperament.  Plus, since this one is "slated" to be Kari's little buddy (Beth and Alex are buddies), and Kari is a high-emotional child, she would bond well with one whose emotions were not so easily wound.

Anyway, as I've said, he's almost here!  And we're so excited!

Blessings!  ♥Christi
