So much to say...

There is SO much that I want to blog about right now....lots of news....but I can't make it public yet (hopefully soon!!).  Okay wish I could say more.

I'm 39 weeks now...due date is MONDAY!!!  I'm actually anticipating going past my due date though as I wasn't progressed at all at my friday checkup.  I will have another dr appt on Thursday morning but honestly not expecting much news from that either.  Since I'm not going to be electively induced, I just get to be a patient mama and wait on when miss sweet kate is ready to show her pretty face.  I was induced with Henry at 39 weeks 3 days, which would be like having Kate today...wow!  Makes me realize how close I am to getting to hold her (so exciting!).  Please pray for a happy and healthy delivery....the last three months have been SO crazy around here that I'm hoping that this birth can be calm and normal :).

Remember how I said how badly I wanted maternity pics and how sad I was that we wanted be able to get them because of $$$ with Shaun's job loss??!!  Well just an example of how God provides...my friend is a photographer, and she asked me if we would be willing to get our pictures taken by some photographers for use for their portfolios.  Well we got there, and I think there was seriously like six or more photographers taking pictures of us.  I want to post some on here but want to make sure that I use the right format with their logo that they want so for now I can only post a link to one of the photographers blogs with a pic of me :).

Also a little update on my sweet boy.  Henry is almost two!!!!  He is talking in sentences now and is seriously cracking us up with the stuff that he says.  He talks pretty clearly but some of his words he can't say exactly right, and they are my favs...helipopter, waccles (waffles), pee woo (instead of pee you for smelly), Chomas (Thomas the train).  We have also been amazed by how much Henry loves to sing and how he can really keep a tune.  He has always been very auditory but lately it has become even more clear how much we pays attention to sound.  One of my favorite things to do now is to leave out words in a book or song, and he tries to fill in the blanks.  I've been surprised what he actually has memorized :).  One of the sweet things that he does that melts our hearts every time is that when we tuck him in at night, he waits for us to close the door and then he yells as loud as he can "I yove you mama!!"  "I yove you dada!!"  I don't think it gets much better than that :).  This is definitely a challenging age as he thinks he is capable of doing so much more than he can (independence is kicking in!!), and he is sooooo destructive and non-stop....but it is also such a sweet and cute age.  He is growing up too fast...sigh.  And he is going to be a big brother soon (oh I can already tell I'm going to be an emotional wreck after Kate is born :).
