Happy 1st Birthday, Micah!!!: September 2009

Well, I've finally made it to the final month! Those that have been here before know the excitement and the weariness of it! It's great because you know that before long, you'll be holding your new precious one!! It's not so great because you are sooo tired and ready for this to be over. Nothing really fits anymore except for a few articles of clothing...and you wear them over and over. But, at this point....I don't care!!!!

Over the Labor Day weekend, my dear friend Kimberly and my sister Reanna gave us an amazing baby shower. The families from our lifegroup blessed us with a double stroller (for little munchkins) and some of my former teacher friends and other close family friends were there as well. It was a wonderful time and we were so blessed by all of the warm clothes and goodies for Micah!!!

This pregnancy has gone pretty fast, and although I'm ready to give birth tomorrow, our house is not! We're still in the process of getting Micah's room put together...although, we are making some progress. Ryan and Kimberly primed the walls of his room and then, Ryan and I went in and wrote scriptures on his walls, to cover his room with the Lord's word! Jonas even wrote a special note to Micah...what he said, though, is a mystery! Ryan has now painted the room in a fun green color to match his Sea Turtle theme and those words from the Lord are now sealed in his room!

Then, last weekend we headed down to College Station for our dear friend, Marcus' wedding. Ryan was the best man and stood by as Marcus and Desire' became husband and wife. I however, missed the wedding because an 18 month old, along with his best bud, Ethan, thought it would be more fun for their mommies to chase them around. So, Kimberly and I ended up taking the boys to our car and let them watch VeggieTales!! While we were in town, we got to catch up with my close friend from college, Leah, who is due to have her baby today!!! We were quite the sight to behold!!

Things have been pretty busy and I'm hoping to get one more post on here before I pop! I'm hoping that we'll have Micah's room ready within the next week or so and I can share those pictures with all of you. Until then.....

Love and Blessings!!!! Enjoy the pictures!
