I decided to squeeze in one last picture for this pregnancy, before I can't squeeze into my dress. =) Knowing this is my last pregnancy, I've tried to savor it. I really love it so much, but I'm getting so excited to actually see this baby girl!

There are only a few weeks left in my third and probably last pregnancy. I am reveling in it. =) I'm to the point where I take a bath nearly every night to soak out any little twinges. I absolutely adore watching her roll around and around. I talk to her and assure her that I can't wait to see her. I've also reached the glorious nesting phase. I'm not in the mood to read, instead I check items off my list and then make new lists to check off. I've organized my advent activities into manila envelopes by the day, with all the little things I've bought for the activities sorted into a tub and ready to go. I've ordered all the presents for Christmas, and they're now in the closet in Amazon boxes ready to wrap. Today I even decided what we'd all wear for our first family picture session with Heather in January. Mind you, I have no idea what size I'll be or what size Starfish might be, but I ordered things anyway. And after that I sorted through every plastic tub in the attic, sorting out clothes to donate, clothes to send to our friends boy children, clothes to keep for nostalgic and crafty reasons, and then sorted all the girl clothing by size and actually labeled the tubs so I don't have to dig again to find things in there. The attic is basically empty now, and everything is sorted ready for Eric to fill it back up. =) Ahh, joy, I love organizing. Next up is going through all the toys and clearing a few out. If you looked at the playroom upstairs it is a complete disaster, but I can see it coming together again now =)
We had a wonderful shower thrown for us by Jennie. She taught us how to silk screen! A craft I'd never done before! It was so much fun! We made some cute onesies for the baby and t-shirts for the big kids. Abbey, Jessie and Summer came down from OKC, and Phillip and Jessica brought Sophia by as well. It was perfect, and so nice to get to celebrate the baby!
I am extremely large, which is to be expected at more than 8 months. My older children seem to think I've grown to this size just to provide them with a great big tent to hide in, but I have to tell them to quit pulling my dresses up in public. =)
Serenity talks to the baby and kisses her all the time, and Donovan has even mentioned the baby in my tummy a few times. We are all so excited for our baby girl!
