OK...so I didn't get to an update.  My day has been kinda crazy, and I didn't get much sleep last night thanks to some powerful Braxton-Hicks contractions that woke me up on the hour.  I finally just got out of bed around 5am and have been going ever since.

First of all, I'd just like to say that I have been overwhelmed by your interest, concerns and prayers.  It's amazing that I've never met most of my readers face-to-face, but still you are thinking of me and offering prayers to the Heavenly Father on my behalf.  That is amazing, and I am so proud and thankful to be a part of this on-line community.

I am really uncertain of when I will be able to blog again.  The hospital has Internet, and Big D will have his laptop, but there are many more unknowns, so I can't promise anything.  Yet I thought I'd give you the link to our family photo gallery that I know Big D will be able to upload to.  Click here sometime tomorrow, probably in the afternoon, and you should be able to see Peanut in all of his or her glory.

Speaking of our gallery, you'll never guess how Big D and I spent the last hour or so.  Big D dabbles in photography, and he's been saying for the last three months or so that he'd like to do some studio-like pregnancy shots of me.  Well, we never did it.  Since tonight was absolutely the last opportunity, he turned our living room into a makeshift studio, and I had fun pretending that I was a short, round super-model.  He's still working on the editing, but this was one of my favorites....

Somehow that angle (Big D was on a ladder!) makes me look a little bit tall....like maybe 5'5" or something.

Thanks again for all of your kind words and well-wishes.  If you think about us around 8am central time tomorrow, I'd appreciate even more of your prayers.  I look forward to sharing my experiences...and my baby!...with all of you soon....

I can see why it's your favorite. Magazine cover worthy. :)
You know I will be praying for you and your family and I will be checking your site often today. I am so excited for you. I feel like one of my sisters is having a baby. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with all of us.
May God keep watch over you, grant you an easy time and speed your return home.

That is such a beautiful photo. Give your photographer a kiss from his sister for that one! I left you a note on your FB page that I want before and after photos (with that one being the before) in a side by side frame. Send me the bill. Gorgeous, just gorgeous. I'm just bursting with excitement and can't wait to talk to you. I talked to Annie & Mom earlier. Love you so much!!!
