waiting for the babe

10(ish) days left! My co-workers threw me an amazing shower at work this past week. It was a book and gift card themed shower, so we got lots of sweet reads and tons of diaper dollars! We have been so extremely blessed throughout our entire pregnancy. We've had such an out pour of love from all of our family, friends and community. We have everything we need from the car-seat, stroller, bottles, clothes, diapers, crib to sweet homemade blankets, bibs and burp cloths. Now all we need is the baby! We go back to the doctor on Wednesday to see what's goin' on. Last week I was 1cm dilated and 50% effaced, and baby was low and in perfect position. Doc said we're keeping our March 12th due date and if I should go late, then we'll induce on the 18th or 19th. Praying for this babe to come on his/own clock and not ours. We cannot wait to see WHO the Lord has for us!! Here are just a few photos of some of the gifts from this week's shower. I meant to blog all of our gifts from the other three showers, but I actually don't have photos from two of them and I put my Victoria photos on FB. I'll get to it one day.

so excited to read these books to baby j

from a student (as well as the yellow one below). He says I can only use this one if baby j is a BOY

from a co-worker..boy does she know me!

and apparently this is only for a girl baby j, hehe

quite possibly three of my favorite gifts. All handmade- over 100 hours of love and prayers poured over these blankets.

where's the baby?!

hard to read- "For this child, we have prayed"

my diaper bag/ new camera bag! super stoked about this

stuffed full of baby j's hospital gear

one stellar meal provided by one of my students and her sweet mum...delish!
