It's getting closer! Only about 30 more days...Lord please let them go by quickly! Each day and especially nights are becoming more and more uncomfortable...driving=uncomfortable, sleeping=uncomfortable, eating= heartburn, moving=potty break, 36 weeks=big belly, all of this= time to get here Jude!

Life has been busy. We are trying to prepare as much as we can and get things in order so that the adjustment to our schedules won't be to hectic. There are still a few more things to get done in the nursery before I can post pics...hopefully it'll be finished before he gets here! Derek and I would like to say thank you to everyone who came to our baby shower and purchased gifts...what an overwhelming feeling to know we have so many people who love us and who are just as ready as we are to meet Jude! We are truly blessed to have family, friends, and an amazing church that supports us 100%.
We have our great friends Ryan and Shari Dean to thank for these awesome maturnity pics...we are thankful that they were able to come down and spend some time with us last month...probably our last time to be together childless :)

Week 36(Thursday): From now on baby's growth is mostly in the plumping up department- though he won't get much longer, he'll put on a pound or more of baby fat before birth. Baby's skin is getting smooth and soft, his gums are rigid, his liver and kidneys are in working order, and his circulation and immune system are basically good to go. His lungs are the only organs that still need to fully mature, but everyday he gets a little closer to breathing on his own.
