No News=Good News

31 weeks and 3 days today. It's starting to feel like I'm stuck on a treadmill that's going nowhere. Like I'm at a stand still. Cody and I have been doing little things around the house like rearranging some of the furniture in our room to make way for a bassinet, cleaning out the cars to make room for a carseat, and having our labor bag ready and packed. But it seems like nothing is really ready. We do have to wait to get her room offically ready until my sister and her family move out in March. But I think the reason why I feel so ill prepared is because genius me had the idea to have my family baby shower after Faith arrives. Now I'm not so sure. I'm sure Cody would just say it's my OCD taking over and my insatiable need to have everything ready and done NOW. Even though she really won't be here for another 4-6 weeks.

We had another appt with the OB today. She sounds and looks great. I haven't had any problems these last 2 weeks (knock on wood) and it's been nice and uneventful. Almost like a normal pregnancy. We did the planned fetal fibronectin and hopefully won't hear from him for another 2 weeks. No News is Good News. But she still is head up. I think I'm just adjusting to the idea that she won't end this journey called pregnancy without one last fight. I like to think of her as my little fighter. So far God has given me a little peek into her personality and I think we are in for the ride of our lives.

Jacob is the silent over acheiver full of energy and all around sports jock. Caleb is the life of the party (like his grandpa Dennis) and very passionate and strong willed when he believes in something. Even if he's wrong. And now I have a feeling little Faith will keep us on our toes and the need to be ready for anything at anytime. It's just amazing to watch God's hand at work with my children. The fact that he has a design and purpose for each and every single one of us is comforting and reassuring. I'm sure I speak for Cody along with myself when I say we are so blessed. We are rich with family, friends, and each other. And I know that after little Faith makes her debut, we are complete as a family.
