It's the truth....we are patiently waiting for Linnea to come at any time! Well....trying to be patient :). It's not easy because I've been having lots of contractions, just nothing that has turned into labor. I keep telling myself that God is in control of the perfect time for her to come, so I have no need to worry, be anxious, or try to coerce it to happen. Although, at times I am tempted to do all those things!
Aaron just snapped this picture today!
My mom has just arrived :) which is very exciting!! And she insisted that I put pictures on the blog of the baby's room! I finished the canopy a couple a little over a week ago, and my handy dandy husband figured out how to mount it to the wall. I finally took pictures of it at 1:00am this morning (I know...you were probably sleeping :)). I took another one today in the daylight, which looks much better!
God has been very good in sustaining me! Some days are harder than others, but God's grace is always sufficient and I get through each day!!
We just had our hospital tour on Sunday, which was fun and quite encouraging, but afterward I got a tiny little taste of what it will be like when we are in the hospital. We ended up sticking around for a couple hours. I wasn't sure if my water had broken (well...I didn't think it had, but didn't want to be wondering), so we talked to our friend who was a labor and delivery nurse, and she said we needed to get it checked out. We didn't expect to have to stay for so long if my water hadn't broken (which it hadn't). The worst part were the two straps they stuck around my belly. They are very uncomfortable!! So I am now able to mentally prepare for that! It was also really hot in the room we were in, so we now know to pack a fan! So that's a blessing.
Aaron and I just got together a pile of things we will be taking to the hospital, so we feel quite ready, and are just waiting to go into labor! It's soo exciting knowing that we are going to get to meet and see the beautiful face of the little girl God has been knitting inside my womb for the past 9 months! Wow! I can't believe it has been that long! We'll keep you posted!

ooooh!! Kimberly! I am so excited to see and hear all about your birth and delivery and see this little girl all over your blog very soon :)...You are so ready to pop girl, your belly just shot out like a foot from the last pic (ha ha)...And Kim, the baby room is simply precious, and even more so because of the love that went into making it all :) IS. 26:3-4
PS It was less painful than I had always thought it was going to be (if that comforts you at all) oh and your sis will DISAGREE :) but if you can go natural-no epidural- do it!!!
Wendy is very confused....her memory isn't very good anyway...I bet you could hear her scream all the way down at the entrance to the hospital! :) tee-hee
Honestly, I am just praying that my sweet baby niece would be born healthy and that my most favorite and wonderful sister in the whole world will be as comfortable as possible!!!! :)
Kimberly, the bedding and canopy is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! Seriously, that canopy is AMAZING!!!! Makes me want to have a baby just so I can borrow it from you one day...maybe I can convince Bryan to adopt again!! :)
Way to go mom, in making Kimberly take the pictures...and way to go Kim in BLOGGING...I was wondering when you were going to get on the computer again and fill us in!!
