Update- New House but No Munchkin Yet.......

It's been a couple of weeks since my last post but I figured it was time to post an update just in case this munchkin decides to come soon.


First off, we are 39 weeks tomorrow and still no munchkin! I’m more than ready for him to get here! His nursery is 99% complete. I just have a couple of finishing touches to do. (I promise to post pictures when it is done!)


Second, Chris and I are very excited to have purchased a home in the Mt Lebanon area of Pittsburgh. We still have our home in St Louis but we really felt like we needed a place close to work so we could feel like we were bring munchkin into a family with a home! Chris and our families have been extremely busy painting and getting the house ready. Since I’m so pregnant, I haven't been able to do anything. I joke that everyone should move when they're pregnant because you don’t have to do anything but sit and direct but Im so thankful for all of their help. Our house would be nowhere close to done if it had not been for all of them.


Lastly, my dad surprised me last week by visiting, It was such a great surprise and I truly had no clue he was coming. My mom had been acting strange but she kept the secret!


As  I continue to countdown until munchkin's arrival I’m trying to stay patient and anyone who knows me knows patience is something I struggle with. I guess God and him are already teaching me a lesson about patience and letting go of control. If Im already learning from him and he hasn’t even arrived yet, I can only imagine everything he will teach me in the upcoming years.

Belly Photos

So I decided I would get some belly photos done and found a photographer in Pittsburgh, Melissa Distel Photography. I was so excited about how they came out. These were taken at 35.5 weeks. Here are a couple of our favorites:

I had second thoughts about getting the photos done because anyone who has been pregnant before knows how truly unattractive you feel by 35 weeks. I'm so glad I had them done so that way I'll have some pictures to help me remember this special time in my life.
