32 Weeks!

We had a friend of ours take some pictures of the two of us because most of the pictures we have from the last seven months are of just me and not the both of us. I also wanted to take them soon because only God knows how much longer I will be pregnant. I had my doctor's appointment today and I am not dilated any more, but baby is sitting incredibly low. My doctor went to listen to her heartbeat and had to go down a couple of inches from last week. So more reclining to come and even less walking. My doctor said she would be very, very surprised if our little one came on her due date and is more hoping that I will hold out to 35-36 weeks, so that baby would be able to stay in Fredericksburg and not go to San Antonio. Each and every day that the little one can stay inside will be a blessing and better for her. The little one sure loves to move and seems to enjoying dancing to her Daddy's voice and music. Darin was practicing for a wedding and I was sitting on the couch and my stomach started moving in time to the song he was playing, rather humorous.




Darin was trying to palm my stomach.

It has been fun this week because two of our friends from the hill got married and quite a few people were down for the wedding. Colin and Nicki stayed at our house, we hadn't seen them since before they were engaged, so it was good to catch up with them and to see how married life is treating them. It was also great fun to have the around because they provided a great distraction from my view from the couch.


The wedding was alot of fun, it was held in a dance hall built in 1908 basically in the middle of nowhere. It was a really neat old building, rustic, perfect for a Texas wedding. The whole thing was held there and once the ceremony was done, the chairs were put around the tables and the empty space was for dancing. It was quite a large wedding, probably around 300 people. It was a beautiful ceremony and a lot of fun was had by all during the reception.


Rachelle's sister has been visiting and it has been great for her to be here. They have a lot of fun together and even got some extra time because of a missed flight.

That is all for now, especially since baby is resisting having the laptop rest against "her" space.

Way to Go Jods! You made it to 32 weeks...now if you could just hold out for 36 weeks that would even better! Thanks for the pictures although it was kind of hard to see how big you were really are since Darin's hands are pretty big!

Enjoy the view from the couch! Although right now it seems like a challenge, you will look back at this time and wonder why you didn't enjoy it more! At least that was my experience since I spent all three of my pregnancies mostly on the couch! Looks like I passed those genes along to you....but you were worth it!

Hey Jods and Darin! What great news that baby is staying put for the moment. Your pics are great. Keep up the good work of staying put; baby appreciates it:) Hope you have been able to get things to be prepared for when she does come.
One day at a time......
