6 more weeks until Baby Moriah!

Sweet ornament from my (Jenn) parents
Jenn says: We're at 34 weeks of pregnancy...only 6 more weeks to go if we make it to 40! Other than an achey back (especially in the mornings!), some heart burn, and one of the toddlers at church mistaking my tummy for a "ball," I feel pretty great! The baby's movements can be pretty large, I think she's running out of room! She now likes to kick my ribs...that part is not too fun!
I'm feeling pretty good about the labor/delivery part too, I've chosen not to worry. We are planning to not use an epidural (though of course this could change!) and will probably have the aid of a doula during the birth. The comments I get about "going natural" are always funny - some think it's crazy and very "earth mother" and then others think it's very normal and encourage it. When it comes down to it...this is the best decision for us! I think what I'm dreading the most is the "no sleep" part for the first several weeks after she is born!
Jason is excited. This little girl is going to be WRAPPED around her daddy's finger! We keep wondering what she'll look like, act like. She definitely has the potential to act VERY goofy (should we blame this all on her dad???). "Kid watching" has always made us giggle, but now it's taken on a new meaning!
The days ahead I think I will be reading a little more fervently and getting things done a little more quickly... things will be happening soon!

Little socks are so cute!


Organizing a lot of her clothes on the pool table...can we say PINK?!

34 weeks along!

I'm so excited for you! I remember those last weeks before Lily came - it was such a special time. We did many of the same things . . . washing and organizing her laundry, wondering who she would look like, etc. Just remember to cherish these last few weeks of pregnancy :)
Love you guys! Can't wait to see pics of Baby Moriah!
