Catching up before Claire arrives....

So it has been a really long time since I updated this blog...but I think now is a good time since I am basically just waiting for Claire to arrive. So much growing has been going on in the past few months as you can see in the pictures. Overall I have really enjoyed pregnancy and all the things that come along with it....especially permission to take as many naps as I want. =) Working was tough but I made it through. Jeff has been an absolute trooper through it all nurturing and loving me no matter how tired, cranky, unbelievably hungry, or demanding I have been.

I would say that the hardest thing about being pregnant is following your heart and making decisions that are best for your own family rather than doing what is the social norm. We have prided ourselves in staying open minded and doing what feels best and most comfortable to us. For the most part, everyone around us has been very supportive and encouraging. Our families have been awesome and we couldn't have made it this far without them.

We are really really excited about the pending brith experience that is coming up and couldn't feel more prepared. Both of our mom's will be here with us and we hope to have Kelly and Camri here via Skype. We invited Grandma to be here as well but it will depend on if she is up to it when it happens. Once Claire arrives, we will definilty let everyone know as soon as possible. I can't wait to share the story of her birth!

Until then, we wait. =)
