If I wasn't us, I'd be super jealous of us.

That's what I told Jason yesterday evening as we filled our bowls with seconds of homemade red beans and rice with shrimp.


It really is the little things that make life great. A perfect, cool fall evening complete with gorgeous sunset. Supper by the fire in the backyard... a backyard that you can have a fire in. Leaving the windows open and the a/c off. Sunrise walk... well, ok, waddle... with the dogs. Enjoying what are sure to be the last calm, quiet days I have left for a very long time.


I am truly, truly blessed.

38 Weeks & Awesome Shower

Less than two weeks to go. WOW! I am excited, anxious, and nervous all at the same time! The doc told me Monday to make sure my bag is packed and the car gassed up because it could be "go" time any day now!


I mostly feel ok still. My hips and pelvic bones ache almost constantly, but according to the doc, this is good, it means he's descending and getting ready to go! My feet and legs look like tree trunks, also due to the added circulatory constriction caused by his dropping lower, but the good news: not long to go! and, up until now I've been very lucky and blessed to have very few and very minor discomforts.


Thank you again to all of the wonderful ladies (and their male counterparts that helped!!) that hosted a baby shower for us this past weekend. It was tons of fun, and so great to get to see and visit with everyone! The food was awesome, the decorations were perfect, I think that's THE best diaper cake I have ever seen, and the cake was SOOOOO good! Thanks also to everyone that came and brought us something special for baby Chapman, he's not even here yet and already spoiled! There will be pics to come! I didn't take any, but there were several cameras around!
