What a Wonderful, Glorious day!

Why is this a wonderful, glorious day?  To quote the angel who brought the message of Jesus’ birth to the shepherds:  Luke 2:10-14  (KJV):  “10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  11For unto you is born this day [...]

Today is our due date!

Wow, our due date is here, finally, but it doesn’t feel as long as I thought it would when I tested for the first time early Sunday morning on the 10th of April.  According to several websites, I see that 5% of babies are born on their due dates.  So statistically the chances of our [...]

Wow, I can’t believe we’re at 38 weeks…  I am so ready for this baby to come now.  Every day I hope that it is soon.  The main reason is because DH is off this month and I would love it if he can spend as much time as possible with our son, before he [...]

New Hobbies:

I’ve heard that some people nest in the late stages of pregnancy, but I think I’ve passed that stage a while ago.  Our baby’s room was thoroughly cleaned weeks ago, along with all the clothes, blankets, prams, car chairs, anything baby related, even if it was new, it was cleaned.  The carpets throughout the house [...]

Baby Shower #2:

I had my second baby shower this past Saturday, organized by my cousin J, with mostly my family. There weren’t a lot of people, I think because of the time of the year. She’s been trying to get as many people as possible together since the beginning of November, but every weekend a lot of [...]
