As the day gets closer, the anticipation gets more INTENSE!!! I have a doctor's appointment on Friday and then I start going every week. This appointment Jake will for sure make so I'm excited he gets to hear the heartbeat! On Saturday I am 38 weeks. I can't believe in 3 weeks I will be having a baby if not sooner. I guess the Naval Hospital will not let me go past 41 weeks so that is good news. I hope I can go before that!
Monday the church is throwing a baby shower for us! I'm so excited! The nursery is almost complete, just waiting for items from the shower to be put in their place. Jake got the curtains up, the crib up, and the pictures on the wall. It finally looks like a nursery! :)
Sorry I haven't been posting pictures of the growing belly. This is the most uncomfortable part of the pregnancy and it definitely shows in my face. :( I was retaining water before but now it is really showing in my face. I am excited to get back to my normal body. I know some of you are thinking that will never happen and I guess in a way you are right. BUT... for me, just being able to sleep on my belly, or not have constant strain on my back, to put normal jeans on instead of maternity jeans... this is NORMAL! :)
This weekend we have a Men's Discipleship Rally Friday night and Saturday morning. Some of you might be wondering what this is. Well the church we attend is part of a fellowship that stretches all over the U.S. and different countries. We are a fellowship that believes in raising disciples and sending them out to start churches. One man, Pastor Wayman Mitchell started this in Arizona 40 years ago, and he is coming to speak to our men. We have fellowship churches all over North Carolina and the East coast who will also attend. It is a time for growth and hearts to be stirred. Well since the guys are gonna be busy, Steph and I figure what better time than Friday night to go get our pedicures done!?! :)
Well I have been TOO lazy this week and need to get off this computer and get some house work done before Jake gets off work! We love you all and sorry if we haven't been in better contact since Jake has been home. It seems like there is so much to get accomplished!
Love,
Anna
