Final Shopping Day

We are so blessed! Justin and I spent the majority of today shopping for some of the unpurchased items from our registries among a few other things we needed to finish up Reagan's room!  Why are we blessed you might be wondering...well, even after spending several hours at Target and Babies R Us we didn't have to spend any of our own money! We were able to buy everything we needed with gift cards and additional money we were given by friends and family! Praise the Lord that he provides for His children!  

We will complete everything tomorrow and then truly just be waiting on the Lord's good timing for Reagan's arrival!  Over the past two weeks, I had two more showers. The kindergarten team at my school hosted an amazing shower for my Heritage family!  The staff was more than generous in their giving for Reagan. She received so many cute outfits, toys, blankets, etc.  I tell her how blessed she is everyday and she's not even here yet! Then, this past Sunday, several of the woman from church threw me a "tea-party" themed shower for all the church ladies!  They also did an outstanding job decorating, hosting, and preparing an incredible assortment of foods and desserts! I was so overwhelmed to see how many ladies attended and how generous everyone was in their giving!  As I said earlier, the Lord truly provides all that we need and could even possible want.  

After visiting the doctor this past Thursday, we are still shooting for the April 29th due date.  Dr. Wilson said everything is looking great and Reagan probably won't be making an early appearance...not too early at least :)  We will have another sonogram next Friday to double check her position and size.  Which means more pictures of her!!! Yea!!! That's Justin's favorite part... he loves seeing his baby girl! 

We'll have more next week...stay tuned! :)

  1. That will be great if she makes an appearance on the 29th...I'll sneak by on the 30th before we get on the plane for Disneyland. IF she should decide to be a few hours late - I'll have to wait a WHOLE WEEK to hold her. But I trust you guys will have it under control until I get back :)

    Make sure you take a picture of your belly (skin!) this week, next week, soon ... because it will be gone before you know it! Well, it won't be gone...but it will be squishier.

    Did anyone tell you the nurses will come and PUSH and SQUEEZE your uterus every time they walk into your room for the first 12-24 hours? They are "helping"... Better to know these things before you get there :) Aaahhh, sweet memories.

    Have a great baby! I am proud of you both :)

  2. Reading your post I remembered the conversation I had with Amber yesterday about how privileged these babies really are. With the economy going the way it is, people suddenly homeless, and so many jobless, to be born into a prosperous environment is amazing. It is humbling when you think about it. We have to be thankful for all that God has given.
