40 weeks of belly love… P.S. we’re in LABOR!!

 

This morning around 8 am, I saw a little something that caught me off guard and let us know our sweet boy will soon be on his way!

We went on to church and slipped out before it was over, the contractions hitting my back were getting a little too intense to sit any longer.

We came home, ate, walked the dog, cleaned, finished packing and are now… waiting.

The contractions have not stopped!

and guess what?

It’s my mom’s birthday today!!!

Happy birthday, momma =)

 

Just a few pictures to remember us by, I’m guessing we’ll be heading to the hospital SOON!

♥We are SO excited♥

 

Wednesday after our doctor appointment:

Who’s ready to have a baby?!

Please keep us in your prayers!! We’ll hopefully be back soon with some very good news =)

    Congratulations lady! I saw on facebook that he is here. :) You are ridiculously cute as a preggo, I must say! I can't wait to here all about how labor and delivery went and see a ton of pictures! :) But be sure to rest when you can, and enjoy that hospital stay! It's nice to have other people taking care of you for a bit.

    So i just found your blog and am loving it! I have almost read the entire thing in 2 days. I only found a small part where you anwsered a reader about your makeup. I know you will be busy with the new baby and all that fun stuff but could you please go over your makeup routine again? This time telling what all you do with your makeup, the brands and how you apply it? I think a lot of people who visit your blog would love to know. It would even be a good vlog.....
