Counting down!

Baby Girl will be here next month! We are all so excited! Lily and Levi helped me sort and wash the baby clothes last week. After I folded the clothes, Lily organized them in the top drawer of her dresser. Everyone that stops by gets to go see the baby clothes in her dresser. :)

I am feeling well, although last week I had three days of painful cramping and low back pain. The baby dropped, but I was also not getting off my feet enough each day. I've made it a point since then to get my feet up by 9:30ish each evening and I haven't had any more cramping. 

I am still working out at the gym 3 days each week and at home every day as well (stretches, squats, inversions, etc).

I'm still cooking/baking extra meals and breakfast foods for the freezer. Our freezer is pretty full which makes me happy! No one is going to starve while we adjust to a new baby. :) I've been trying to buy a few extra things at the grocery store each week to have the pantry stocked. 

I think I've mentioned this before, but I feel like the best thing I did after Asher was born was to stay home for several weeks. I'm very much a home-body (since having lots of littles) and it was just the best way for us to adjust to having a new baby. I'm planning on doing that again this time and want to be as prepared as possible.

I would really appreciate it if you all would pray with me that our sweet baby girl is not super far past her due date. The track record with my babies isn't very promising - 4 days late, 6 days late, and 7 days late, but with God, nothing is impossible! I usually don't mind being late because I want my babies to come when they are ready. 

Funny story, with Asher, the whole week I was overdue with him I was telling him to stay put because Jacob was super busy that week. Well, Jacob got done with all his obligations the Saturday night I was 6 days overdue and I "told" Asher, "ok, baby, you can come anytime now" and he was born the next day. :) 

Anyway, with this baby, the week after she's due Jacob has an insanely busy week and will be out of town a few days too. Eeek! Talk about pressure! :) I'm praying so much that she won't be more than 4 or 5 days late.
