its almost baby time!!! i have three more weeks.
i would love to go early.
can i just say THANK YOU to all of you that have taken the time to email me words of encouragement, inquiring of my well being, and overall awesome comments. you are all so kind and i really appreciate it!
my lower back is super sore, but i'm not contracting regularly which is a huge answer to prayer! the hospital bag is on the stool at the end of the bed and i'm adding things to it as i think of them.
the nursery has had a few cute updates too :)
we are all ready for baby #6!
i have been taking the kids to the library a lot this summer. this is so typical of dubs....and of mama.
i didn't realize, until we're in the parking lot, that he was wearing huuuge tennis shoes, a total mismatched outfit and had snuck his silky into the land of books :)
seriously.....is he not the cutest little 3 year old ever??? he kisses my tummy all. the. time. and is super pumped to be a big brother.
i'm throwing this picture in from father's day this year. the kids were all giving daddy a smooch.
we gave him a tent. but its been so blazing hot that they have yet to camp out in the woods....
we had a family wedding last weekend! hank was the ring bearer and the girls handed out programs.
it was wonderful.
my ankles became non existent by the end of the weekend but they have re-emerged and all is good.
me and two of my sister in laws. i'm not going to lie, its a decent shot of my ginormous belly so i wanted to include this picture...plus i love these girls!!!!!
having never been pregnant in the summer i must admit this super hot, record breaking summer is not awesome on the energy level. but on the other hand i really think this had been my best pregnancy yet! i am SO thankful for a healthy baby inside me, we're praying for a quick, healthy delivery.
Summer babies are the BEST!!!! I was worried about you - and just checked in yesterday to see if there was any baby news. So glad things are going well. Happy (and safe) delivery!!

ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you had had your baby yet. I am so excited for you. Although I do not envy where you are at right now. I have had 3 summer babies and it was so hard. My husband had to massage my ankles at night so they wouldn't be the size of softballs. You look fantastic. You are just glowing. Can't wait to see your nursery. I will keep you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteEarly congratulations!! We'll be praying for a quick and healthy l&d, and cannot wait to see pictures of the changes made to the nursery. Do ya'll know if it's a boy or girl yet, or do you leave the gender a surprise?
ReplyDeletePraying with you for a safe and quick (but not too quick) birth! Thank the Lord for no contractions!!! And I must say you look amazing! Can't wait to meet the latest addition to your beautiful family! XoXo*S
ReplyDeleteMissed you during your blogging absense! You and that baby belly look amazing.
ReplyDeleteSending happy thoughts your way for a great and smooth delivery! Hugs! Congrats on baby # 6!
You look beautiful!!! Best of luck to you & yes, hopefully you do have a healthy, fast delivery!

I've had 3 summer pregnancies and all I can say is thank the Lord for central air!
ReplyDeleteKeep cool. Looking forward to more posts about your nursery and it's new little occupant.
God Bless!
I feel for you! I am 32 weeks along with baby no. 2 and this is also my first summer pregnancy. We just had central air installed today, I couldn't go on without it! Best wishes for going early! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww. I faithfully check in on you every day so I"m glad for the update. Will be praying that all goes well.
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning! Seriously. It is so great to see smiling, happy pregnant women who have offered their bodies as a living sacrifice for the gift of new life. And then you see your crew and I want to shout, keep up the great work b/c you are such a witness just by living your normal family life, mismatched outfits with too big of shoes and all. Prayers for a safe delivery.
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear more about how you manage all these littles with homeschooling. I aspire to har a couple more babies but worry I will fall behind with schooling and lovin on each of them! Will you share your wisdom? Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of having a summer baby is that it's not freezing when you wake up in the middle of the night to feed :) and they have good birthdays for sports :)
ReplyDeleteglad your pregnancy is going good! i can't wait to see if its boy or girl! and your little guy in the mis-matched clothes was too precious! made me smile!
ReplyDeleteVery cute picture! Loved the update and looking forward to your next baby post!
ReplyDeleteOh you look adorable! Praying that all goes well and you are Blessed with a healthy baby!!!
