Birth or Bust!



With only one week until our due date the anticipation is building and my drive to get everything ready has kicked into high gear. I've been cleaning for days- washing baby clothes, organizing cabinets, and I even started cleaning random places in our home...the shelf above the washer and dryer, the pantry, and even the soap drawer in the washing machine! I think I've done enough nesting to deliver triplets by now and I can honestly say that I'd feel comfortable serving appetizers out of my dryer, a main course in our pantry, and dessert on the kitchen floor! Any takers? Sean's been a real trooper! I can't wait to meet our little guy and I'm hoping he'll make an early appearance! Finding clothes that fit is really my daily chore!


Believe it or not I thought I couldn't get any bigger when I took the photo of me in the purple shirt but I somehow did. This photo on the left (in the black shirt) is of me only hours before Noah was born. It was the last pregnant photo taken and Sean snapped it only 3 hours before my contractions started! I was 3 days past our due date...40 weeks and three days. We had just gotten home from church and lunch at McAllisters. I swear it was the French Dip sandwich that sent me into labor because it was the exact thing I had the Sunday before when we had false labor. Kiersten, you may want to keep this in mind come January. :)

I love this photo! We are anxiously awaiting news of Baby H's entrance. It seems like it's all Cecilia can talk about these days. :)
