6 More Weeks...

Photo taken by Erica Sorenson

I can't believe that our "expected arrival date" is merely 6 weeks away. Where has the time gone? I literally feel like I was just standing in my bathroom staring at my home pregnancy test thinking, "Am I just feeling funny, or do I see two lines?" Part of me is so anxious to finally meet Avery, and part of me wants to keep being pregnant. Now, the not being able to sleep, eat properly, or climb stairs I will NOT miss. However, I will miss the intimate time I have with her now. I am the only one feeling all of her kicks and hiccups, and she is always with me - wherever I go. My mind continues to be blown away that she can develop so much in just 9 short months! Seriously, y'all! I will be holding her in just a month and a half - how is that even possible?! I am going to cherish every moment of these next six weeks, as I know they will fly by. I love you, sweet Avery!

Update on Life

OK, I realize it has been 7 months since I last updated my blog, but I believe it is about time to continue posting. Why, you may ask? Well, let's see...we are expecting a baby in 8 short weeks!!! We found out that we were expecting "Baby Godwin" in late February, and my mind has been in a million different places since then. We also found out that we will be having a GIRL! Her name will be Avery Anne, and we are beyond thrilled!! I really want to make it a priority to continue updating this blog as a documentation for all of Avery's development and milestones along the way. I don't think I will ever be able to express in words how much she has already changed my life, but I do not want to lose any memory of my feelings and adoration for her! We are beyond blessed! Now, I will leave you with a few photos of her development along that way!

About 13 Weeks

25 Weeks

30 Weeks

My sister-in-law, Cori and me at 31 weeks. We are pregnant at the exact same time! Our due dates are only 3 days apart, so it has been exciting to go through each stage of pregnancy together!

We are so unbelievable grateful and excited for this new life to enter our family! What a blessing!
