The waiting game


We are ready. Just waiting on the baby.

The nursery is finished, we have been blessed numerous times by friends, family and coworkers at baby showers. Words can not express how thankful we are for all your gifts and thoughtfulness!

Betsy had a doctor's appointment yesterday and everything is going well... I'll spare you the more intimate numbers, but her belly is at 35 cm which is just about right on target and we are hopeful the baby is going to be on time, if not early...

And now, we wait. It seems like forever some days and the weeks have begun to drag by slowly (more so, I think, for Betsy).

Every morning I wake up and think, "was that my last night of peaceful sleep, is today the day?"

Full term is considered 37 weeks and over, and guess what? This Saturday is full term! Originally the due date was the 8th of December, but apparently it is the 6th, or that's what the chart says at least.

And we wait....

Absolutely adorable picture of Betsy. Mom wants a copy for her memoirs. . . also a recent sideview before she delivers. We will be praying for a safe delivery and for the time to go speedily for both of you! Love, Mom

Hey future parents! It's so amazing that the big day is almost here... i know for you it's been a slower month in the waiting process, but it seems like time has flown by! We are soooo looking forward to meeting Zeke and pray for restful sleep for you both! Love, Em and Joseph :)

P.S Baby Girl Mathys is on the move! besides the fluttering, I'm feeling some small kicks here and there, especially when I lie on my back! Have a fun weekend and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!! Welcome to Club 32!
