You are now oficially one week overdue. I am getting so excited to meet you in person but I am trying not to feel too anxious. Your dad and I just got back these photos that we had done while I was pregnant with you. It was a good reminder of just how magical this time has been. Just push play to enjoy the photos of your pregnant Mom.

Waiting

Yesterday was Father's Day and we went camping for just one night in Arizona. I was glad to get out of town and pass the time a little faster while we wait for your arrival. It should be any day now. The most recent ultrasound says you are 7 lbs 4 oz. It seems like you are running out of room in my belly since your feet are always sticking out under my ribs.

I am starting to get a little nervous. I want to give you a life with lots of fun and opportunity. You are lucky to have the most amazing dad. He will be your best friend like he is mine! So, what am I nervous about? I guess I just hope that you and I both do well during the labor and delivery process. So far we have been a good team and I think if we really put our minds to it, we can give eachother what we need and have a smooth transition to mother/daughterhood. Once that part is over with I think we will really enjoy being a family.
I already love you so much just from having you near me everyday. It has been a fun little gift to carry you around inside of my belly for nine months. Oh but you are too big now and it is time to come out! I will work hard on my end and I wish you the best of luck on your end. I can't wait to see you in a few days!!

GO TEAM!

Cradle Adventure

Today your Papa was putting the finishing touch on your cradle. I went out to take pictures of the progress and just five minutes after I took the pictures he came in with a chunk of his thumb missing. He had a little accidnet with the table saw. He is so lucky it was just the top of his thumb and not the whole thumb. I think he learned a good lesson. The last picture is after we bandaged him up and put a lady bug sticker on it for good luck.

Colorado trip

We just got back from visiting Grammy and Gramps Sebern in Colorado. They had a big BBQ for us to celebrate your arrival.

Dad and Mom's 2 year anniversary

Yesterday we celebrated our two year anniversary. We went camping in the White Mountains of Arizona.

I can't believe I have already been married to your dad for two years. We got married when I was 33 years old andyour dad was 32. Our wedding was in Estes Park Colorado at the YMCA of the Rockies. It was a great day with lots of yummy Alaska King Salmon and bluegrass music. I will show you the pictures someday.

Your dad is the best husband I could have ever dreamed of and he will be the best father to you. We are a couple of very lucky girls!

Unexpected

Before I was prenant with you I had a pretty good idea about what it would be like to be prego. However, there are so many things that I did not anitcipate.

1. People smile at me all the time. They seem to be so excited that I have a baby inside of my belly.
2. Perfect strangers love to touch my belly. Yesterday an old hispanic woman kissed my belly while I was caring for her daughter at the Flagstaff hospital.
3. A man offered to pump my gas on a windy day.
4. Your dad coos over the little socks that we will be putting on your little feet in just a couple of months.

These are just some of the magical little things that have happened to me while I have been pregnant with you. I can't wait to see whatunexpected things having a baby brings.

Turn around!

You are sitting so high up in my belly that you are pushing on my lungs. I wake up at night short of breath. This is a picture of me trying to get you to turn around. The books say that if I lay on a board at 30 degrees for 10 mintues three times a day you will turn. Your dad thinks this is pretty funny and likes to take pictures while I am trying to get you to turn around.
