Almost there!!

Well, two weeks left until our little Nathaniel makes his arrival into the world. (unless he comes sooner). We are so excited and ready for this little guy to get here. It's been so fun to share this pregnancy with a whole group of friends from church. Lindsay, I wish you were here too so we can share in your joy with your first pregnancy!!! It has been so fun to share stories and compare our growing bellies as we approach our due dates. I have missed my other pregnancy buddy Shelly this time too, who is still down in Dallas on bedrest. I can't wait until we can all get that picture with all of our new babies together!!! I am so thankful for the friends that God has placed in my life at this stage of my life- pregnant and non-pregnant!!!!
Andrew is very excited about his new brother, and has asked if he can be the first one to hold Nathan when they come up to the hospital. I am praying that they will have that special bond that only brothers can share. I am so thankful that God has blessed us with a little brother for him. It should be a really special moment!!!
We have all the rooms switched around and ready,nursery set up and painted, spare room ready for grandma and grandpa..... so now I can just relax these last few weeks and wait patiently. Ha.
This has been such a cold and snowy winter, the thought of spring coming soon is so inviting. I can't belive that we only have maybe a month or so of cold winter left yet. The thought of spring and warmer weather sounds so inviting!!
Please pray for a safe delivery for our baby, and for a smooth transition for the rest of the kids- especially Hannah, who has been the baby now for the past 3 years. This will be quite an adjustment for the baby to become the big sister, but it will be very good for her. She continues to make big strides in becoming a big girl. She is doing so good with school, the potty, and learning first time obedience. She is still struggling some with her temper. She tends to be the loudest in the family right now, I think to try to be heard above the other kids. We are working on learning patience and quiet voices. She can be very willful at times, but she is a sweetie, and loves to cuddle at night and have "girl talks" as she calls it in bed before she goes to sleep.She comes up with such cute and interesting little questions! I am treasuring these special little moments, because they are gone so quickly. Before you know it they are finishing 8th grade and will be starting high school! (Olivia)wow- where has the time gone!
Well, that is enough rambling on.... I am a bit hormonal and extra sentimental these days.
God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good.
