We are down to the wire, and the count down has begun. Just 5 more weeks until my due date! I can not wait to have this precious little baby boy. At 35 weeks now, I'm so uncomfortable that the thought of 5 more weeks of this is just so daunting.He is in a breech position right now, which means his head is pushing up against my diaphragm making it hard to breathe, and nearly impossible to pick anything up off the floor. I know how miserable the last month of pregnancy is, and I know it will end soon, but I'm ready to be done!
Not to mention that meeting our son is so exciting too. Hannah talks about how she wants to hold her baby brother all the time. She is a great big sister and I think she's going to just fall in love with another baby. Autumn really has no idea what's coming except that there is a baby in mommy's tummy. I'm sure it will be a bit of a shocker for her, so I'm preparing myself for the worst! She's been going through some major toddler temper tantrums and testing limits lately, and I'm sure that will just get worse! My hope is that she will be happy to help with the baby in ways that she can and maybe she'll like having a baby around. We are continuing with our home organization and purging to make space for the little guy, and this week we'll be putting together the cradle and setting up what we can now. Our baby shower is in 2 weeks so after then we will be able to know a little better what we need to buy.
I have successfully gotten the girls onto a normal daily routine and they seem to thrive on it. Hannah has her own printed out version with photos and words and she loves to tell me what is next in our day. Autumn has been sleeping well and going to bed at normal times for the most part. I have started a 1 year Bible reading plan that has been working out very well with the help of my Android tablet. It keeps track of what I need to read and brings me right to where I need to start and stop for the day. I am enjoying the consistency of it and when I miss a day I really feel it, which is what I wanted to happen!
Eric is still looking for full time work. His blog has had some really great moments over the last couple months, but nothing that we can fully live off of yet. He predicts it will be about 2 more years of steady growth to get to the point where he can make full-time income off of it. He has had several interviews but no job offers yet. We are just trusting that God knows our needs, we are being faithful with what we have, and He will meet those needs in His timing, and how He sees fit. It can get very discouraging sometimes, but we have to continually renew our faith and remind ourselves of God's perfect provision for us through our entire lives. When you look at His track record- He's ALWAYS pulled us through every situation-even the most dark moments. Praise Him!
