Belly pics!

I didn't think it would take me so long to get around to posting again. But life got in the way (i.e. Peter returned home after a month of being gone) so I kind of forgot about other things. However, I am back and ready to blog!!! Just kidding! I have been meaning to put some pictures of my pregnancy up for friends and family to see. So, here they are:

This is at 6 1/2 months...

and at 7 1/2 months!

It's amazing to see how much your body can change in just a few short months. I never thought I would get past the "plump" stage where people question whether or not you are pregnant. But now, there is no question about it!

I can't believe I only have a little over 6 weeks left! It's nuts! Am I ready for labor?! Are we ready to be parents?! Can we handle moving (driving) across the country with a two-week-old newborn and three pets?! Will we find a house to buy that will suit us well for the next three years?! Aaahhhh! So much to think about! I know that God will get us through it all but sometimes it can all seem a little overwhelming, you know?

Finally!

So after constantly monitoring other's blogs and much prodding from some good friends (Angie, Vicki), I decided to FINALLY get my own blog. I really have always wanted a website or some way that my family and friends could keep up with all that goes on in our lives so hopefully this will accomplish some of that. I don't promise to have any profound thoughts or insights but hopefully you will at least be entertained by reading about some of the daily events that go on in our crazy but blessed lives.
