Okay, I know I've been terrible about updating our blog when things happen. Here's an overall update on our lives.
- I'm now 36 weeks pregnant (hopefully a picture will be coming to you soon)....only 6 more to go!!! ( or 4 or 8 - we'll see). I'm so ready to hold my little one and be home with him/ her all day!
- Luke's almost finished with the baby's dresser. He's got the whole thing stained and just has to paint and attach the top. And we need to buy hardware (again....pictures to come when it's finished).
- I had another baby shower this past weekend at church and got lots of great things for our baby. Thanks everyone for supporting us! I have one more shower to go in November that will be given by the people I work with.
- Lastly, I debated on posting this bit of news, but it's had such a big impact on my life recently I dedided to go ahead and do it. I have been going through my pregnancy with a friend at work. We see each other pretty much every day of the week and exchange stories and compare notes. She was 6 weeks ahead of me. Well, this past Tuesday (one week before her due date) she went to the doctor for her weekly checkup only to find out that her baby girl no longer had a heartbeat. She delivered her little girl sometime Wednesday knowing that she would be still born. Of coure, this has devistated me. At this point, the doctors don't know why this happened. Physically, she looked completely healthy. Hopefully the autopsy will tell more, but may not. Please pray for my friend and her husband if you think of them.
Love you all! Thanks to those who took the time to read this. Hopefully I will be better about posting in the future!
Laura, it broke my heart to read about your friend... I know God welcomed that baby with loving arms but it is so hard to know that the mommy and daddy don't get to do that, they way they had hoped. They will definitely be in my thoughts...
