35 Weeks! Only 35 days to go!

It is incredibly hard to believe that we have just 5 short weeks before Baby Jones is here (or maybe less if he decides to come early). As I sit here writing this, watching the Steelers vs. Redskins game this little guy inside seems to be practicing for the days when he will be the start punter. I have come to love and cherish these movements, except when they occur between midnight and 5am. I am realizing more and more with each day what an incredible miracle this is.

This past weekend I had another shower, put on by all my wonderful new Lancaster friends. It was a great reminder of God's faithfulness in bringing us to a place of community and surrounding us with couples that love Jesus and are in a similar season of life. We got many great things to finish off the nursery.

And while I was at the shower, Griff and Brian were at home putting together the crib. It was fun to come home, walk into the baby's room and see everything put together. We are really ready for him, bed and all. :-)

I have my 36 week check up this coming Monday and I am really excited to see where I am at by that point. Honestly I am praying I will go early, specifically November 25th. The reason for this is that if I were to go on the evening of the 25th that would give Griff the most vacation time to stay home with me and our little guy. So, if you want to pray with me for this great. But, more than anything I want him to come int he Lord's perfect timing and if that isn't until December 15th I will be okay with that too. If there is one thing I have learned these last nine months is that you can't go againsts God's perfect plan.

I can't believe its less than 35 days. Take care of yourself and get some rest...you will be needing to store up for the days to come. Love you!
