Our Journey to Meeting You: Getting Closer!!!!!

Wow! It is really starting to hit me that we are coming to the end of this amazing journey! To think that we only have 6 1/2 weeks left is so crazy. I am not sure I can say that I have enjoyed every second because I feel like we have lived in fear for most of this journey, but I will say that I have tried to appreciate every second!!!!!

We had a sonogram last week and everything looked great. The doctor was very pleased with the baby's growth and said that he/she is estimated to weigh about 5 lbs. That was a huge jump from the last sonogram, so hopefully the growth continues at a steady pace. I am almost finished with work which will be nice so that I can finally get things ready around the house and maybe put my feet up a little before baby arrives :)

Last weekend was also my baby shower for my mom's side of the family. It was such a great way to celebrate Baby Barra, and it is was great to be able to finally thank everyone for all the support and prayers. We held the shower at my cousin Guitta's house and the weather ended up being perfect (minus the scary storm clouds in the pictures below). It stormed all around us, but we only had to deal with a few sprinkles...thank God because it would have been difficult to move 75 people that quickly :)

Well, we go back to the doctor next week. It is so exciting knowing that we will get to meet our little one sooner than later, and that if something were to happen to require us to deliver, we are at a safe point now. Please continue to pray for us, and we will continue to pray for everyone to experience the joys that we have been blessed with!
