My Dr. appt went great today! There were no surprises and no changes! Despite all the contractions/pain this week that made me think otherwise. He/she sure keeps me guessing! So one more week of the same - More meds, modified bedrest (basically just taking it easy), and a whole lot of contractions that lead no where but drive ya nuts! I equate what I feel like right now, to that of a bomb waiting to go off - but that being said I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING else in the world!

We can't wait to meet this baby...but we are living up the extra chance to get to get as much accomplished as we can before all we wanna do is sit and hold this little miracle! Although I am excited for the first glimpse of our child....what I can't wait for more than anything else is to see Josh's face when he holds our baby for the first time! So grateful that we will have that opportunity now that baby looks healthy! Thank you again to everyone for your prayers of love and support! We are so grateful that we have made it this far!

On another note, Josh is working like a mad man at the land - still there in the dark last night and tonight getting ready to pour concrete for our front porch on Wednesday. Looks like they will have GREAT weather! So bummed I can't help out this time. He is doing an amazing job with this house...and for the last 2 weeks working at it alone. He wanted so badly to share the progress with me today and begged me to come up. I reluctuntly let him put concrete boots on me (cause I can't bend over)and walked up onto the first floor to take in all that he has accomplished. His diligence is INSPIRING!
We are standing in the kitchen of our new house. We wanted to have something to show this child someday..."this is what your parents were doing around the time that you were born!" My concrete boots are the best!
