More Showers of Love

Saturday was our 6th wedding anniversary. We spend it in an all day childbirth class and went out to dinner at Outback. Neither of us can believe that 6 years has passed so quickly. We've had so many wonderful times together that we have a difficult time counting them. Now, as we prepare for a new chapter in our life, we are excited about what it to come, but nervous about the unknown.

Information from the child-birth class made us both feel better. Brent got to learn the definitions of phrases he has heard like "dilated" and "how many centimeters" while I found comfort from some of the crazy things I have read recently.

On Sunday the ladies in our Bible study threw a shower for us. There was amazing food, adorable cupcakes, fun games, and tons of gifts. We feel blessed beyond measure for all of the love coming our way. Everyone is so excited about meeting Baby Carney!

On another note I am now 34.5 weeks pregnant and feeling big difference in my comfort level. It's getting much harder to sleep at night, especially rolling over. Our next check-up is next Tuesday, when they start more intrusive exams, then we go every week until the baby's arrival.

There is a lot going on this month that I "have" to get done before the baby comes like a three week master's class, lesson plans, my classroom, and cleaning our house. Though I hope the baby is early enough that I don't have to back to work (I'm only asking for a week!) I also hope it does not come before August 1st. That will give me time to finish these lingering tasks and be able to focus on what's important when the baby comes home. I know God will take care of all of this in his timing and it will be perfect!
