36 Weeks

The first snow of the season is falling outside...nice big snowflakes. It's very pretty. I don't mind the first snow, especially when I get to stay inside and drink some nice warm peppermint tea and contemplate the fact that I'm having a baby in 4 short weeks, give or take a few days. Craziness! We packed our bags for the hospital last night. I still have a few things to pick up which I will hopefully get this week. I almost have my Christmas shopping done. Most of the gifts are wrapped as well. I've got my Christmas letter started and the address list almost finalized. I'm hoping to finish the curtains for the baby room today or tomorrow. Things are starting to fall into place. I know the nursery most likely won't be perfectly ready when the baby comes, but I'm hopeful that it will be really close. Here is my belly shot from today:

According to my 5-year-niece, Clare, who saw me via Skype last night, I'm really fat. :)

Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to eagerly anticipate the arrival of our little one.
