As the month of June begins to wrap up, we are in full swing of the pregnancy. I believe that today’s count puts us at 35 weeks and 4 days (not that we’re counting). Amy has been AMAZING through out this whole process. Her body (like all expecting mothers) has undergone changes more rapidly than my boxer shorts. Everyday day seems to bring a new aliment or discomfort, often with the strange resolution of a previous symptom. By this point, slip-on shoes are a necessity and dropped items on the floor often remain until more nimble assistance can be offered by someone else.
Though we are still over four weeks away from our due date, we already have our bags packed and by the door. The house is filled with baby supplies, cribs, strollers, and a massive surplus of diapers. Still, I am frantically trying to finish Chapter 23 – What to Expect When You Bring Your Baby Home. The speed dial on our phones have been preprogrammed to Dial-A-Mom for that late night guidance on how to get the baby back to sleep. At this point, I feel like the soldier in basic training standing in the open doorway of the C-130 with a parachute in hand. I am scared to death to jump out that door, but there is no turning back now.

As always, we are so thankful for the support and blessings from all of our friends and family during this time of excitement and change. I cannot imagine undertaking this adventure without the help of those close to us.
I look forward to the day when I can post a picture of our newborn son on this blog!
