Painting

(Jamie)

Painting, is not fun. I can think of a hundred things that I would rather be doing than spending three weeks of my life with a paint brush in my hand. The past three weeks or so have been exactly that, though. The upstairs bedroom (which we are relocating to, the nursery, the upstairs bathroom, and the living room are now all pretty much complete. Even though it was frustrating at times, when we sit back now and look at it all, I feel good thinking about how we have made preparations for home that will no longer be just ours. B---- J------ is coming into home that was pretty much prepared for his arrival. It feels nice to know that my labor (and I probably shouldn't use that would around Amanda) has been not necessarily out of necessity but out of how much I love my wife and my son. Starting a family has been an amazing experience and I'm super excited for him to get here.

Getting Ready for Monkey

I am 34 weeks pregnant today! I can't believe this pregnancy has flown by so quickly!! I can honestly say that I have really enjoyed being pregnant. God is truly amazing. Monkey's room is almost complete! Now...to get the rest of the house in order. We have a TALL to-do list and a SHORT amount of time to get it all done!!! I'm sure we can do it. Jamie has been HARD at work getting everything ready for his little boy. He's been an awesome sport!! I couldn't ask for a better husband. Only 4 more weeks until I am considered "full-term". WOW!!! : ) I can't wait to see what he will look like!!! I can't wait to hold him...and give him TONS of hugs and kisses!!! We love him so much already!
