38 weeks!

i went to the doctor yesterday, and i am about 1cm dilated! at least it's a little progress... better than none at all, right?! if nothing happens, i'll go back to the doctor next wednesday to be checked again.

i met my mom in clemson this afternoon for lunch and then to walk... just to send some encouragement to our sweet boy :)

all in all, i'm feeling alright. besides having to frequent the bathroom every 30 minutes and having a hard time getting comfortable, i can't complain. just so very thankful for a healthy pregnancy!

each morning i wake up and think... is today jay's birthday? so excited about meeting our little boy!

signs of baby...

of course when walking into the nursery, one will surely realize that a baby is joining us very soon! however, i love all the other "signs of baby" that are showing up around the rest of our house... :) 

the bathroom is ready for when jay begins having bath time in the tub! 

the kitchen has lots of baby things that are surely going to be put to good use! 

our 2 in 1 bouncy seat/swing is set up and ready...

...even my car has "signs of baby" these days!  

...and i can't help but think of all things baby when i walk past our guest bedroom and see our hospital bags packed and ready! 

can't wait! :)

greenville shower!

last Sunday, some sweet friends of mine hosted a shower for baby jay and me! it was so fun getting together (again!) with family and friends and rejoicing over our precious miracle. kevin, jay, and i are so blessed by all the love and support so many have shown us during this special time! 

the sweet hostesses...

hudson and ryan... can't wait until jay is here to play, too! :)

 my wonderful mom and me (at 35.5 weeks)...

the finished nursery and an update!

we have finished the nursery... with 4 weeks to go! :) i'm so happy with how everything turned out and can't wait until Jay arrives so we can put everything to good use! 

in other news... i'm 36 weeks today! i had a doctor's appointment this morning, and everything checked out as it should! jay is still hanging out sideways, so we will have an ultrasound next week to continue to check his position. if he hasn't turned, we may go ahead and schedule a c-section, just in case. please pray that the Lord's will be done and that i will have a peace whatever the outcome may be! :)

pickens baby shower!

a couple Saturdays ago, some of Kevin's family came into town and hosted such a cute baby shower for Baby Jay and me! we are so thankful for supportive and loving family and friends and cannot wait for everyone to meet our baby boy! :)

i'll let the pictures do the talking...
