Since my last days of having this baby in my belly are nearing an end I thought I would take one giant look back on these last 9 months and how much I have changed. I hardly recognize the girl in some of these pictures!!! As you all should know by now, Dale and I weren't planning to have our 3rd child when he decided that he didn't care. He was ready. It was a surprise made known to us as we planned Wyatt's 4th birthday party. It has been in God's hands and done with His timing from the very start. We were surprised and really excited. Dale thought we were having a girl for sure! He even had her name picked out. Me, I wasn't so sure. It felt like boy to me and I was right.
My first appearance of a baby bump and the oh so creative way I broke the news to the world using the boys. Wyatt flashing a 3 and Waylon wearing his big brother's big brother t-shirt.
I'm still in aw of how it all happened. I am still kind of in shock that we will be having another tiny little body join our family any day now. Recently I received a gift with a onesie inside. When I saw the size of that onsie I had a small freak out moment and asked if it was a little too late to be freaking out?
Here I am at one of my college friend's wedding. This is a little alteration we had to do to my bridesmaid dress because it wouldn't fit. This was before I was at the news breaking stage.
Getting...
bigger...
and...
bigger!
I'm so glad I did this!
I love when the boys join me for my mini self portrait photo shoots!
Time...
to...
start...
picking...
(not sure what happened to the coloring on that one!)
up...
the...
pace!
The boys are bigger (and need haircuts)! I am bigger (36 pounds bigger, yeah I admitted it)! Our family is just about to be bigger!
Let the fighting, loving, joy, stress, snuggling, yelling, happiness, and pure blessings continue...
We're ready!
This little boy has already taught me so much about myself. He has brought true meaning to the lesson of what's important in life and to slow down and stop trying to control every aspect. If he can teach me this much before I even see his precious little face the thought of what his little life will bring to ours is breathtaking to me.
He will be here any day now. Monday I was dilated to a three at 371/2 weeks. Some days I feel like it could be any minute and the next day I feel fine, but I think we might find ourselves naming this little guy when we see his face next week. That's my prediction.
Stay tuned and thanks for following our journey!
It's so wonderful seeing your bump grow over the photos. Good luck. I will be thinking of you loads!!!! Xo Gina
