Our Little Man will be here soon......

Well, we are truly in the home-stretch now. As of today, I am 32 weeks and 2 days. Just under 8 weeks until the due date of our Little Man!!!

We have completed many tasks preparing our home for him. The nursery is complete, the pack-n-play is set up in our room, and even his bag is packed. We have been so blessed by so many friends and family with all the wonderful gifts they have showered us with. THANK YOU!!!

In our last posting we announced the life verse we chose for Evan. If you notice in the photo above - his painting (done by his Aunt Kim!) is hanging above his crib. It is so awesome!!! Aunt Kim did a FANTASTIC job. We can't thank you enough for your amazing work and all the love you put into it...We love you!!!

We went to the doctor today - this makes doctor visit # 6. We will now go every two weeks. Our next visit is September 13th. Today Evan's heart rate was 145.

Love to you all!

Can you believe how the time is flying by???

I am now 28 weeks and 2 days (the picture above was taken today)...just under 12 weeks remain until our precious little one arrives. We are anxiously anticipating the day we get to hold him in our arms.

Today we had a doctors appointment. Baby Evan's heart rate was 140. The doctor says everything is right on track. I have no BP issues or swelling concerns - which is a blessing with all this heat!!! We go back on August 31st.

So over the last month - we have begun getting his room ready. It is still a gradual work in progress but it is coming along nicely. We have the crib put together, bedding washed, and the bed made! Once the room is completely put together I will post pics.

During the time we also decided that it would be great for this little guy to have a life verse. So prayfull, askedGod for just the right verse to lead out little angel through his life. A verse from Jeremiah was laid on our hearts. This verse if very dear to us both because we clung to it as we were going through infertility.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11.

We are having this painted to be hung above his bed. It is going to be a constant reminder that the Lord has very specific plans for Evan's life. We are just the ones who are blessed to be his earthly parents!

Well - until next time...hugs to you all!!
