I was actually going to post pictures today. However, I discovered it is a lot easier to get the pictures off your camera when you know where the connecting cord is. Since I can find every other camera parafenalia but that cord, I will not be including pictures today.

I have reached the bored part of my pregnancy. I am now 31 weeks and 2 days. Being a substitute teacher, there is no work during the summer, so get to be home watching Judging Amy and Law and Order, counting down the days until I need to clean my house again.

I recently saw pictures of the miracle Paulsen baby-- born at 29 weeks. It is so weird to see a picture of a baby that is about the same size as my little one. It puts everything it perspective so much easier.

My belly continues to grow (or so I feel like it). As a matter of fact, at my 30 week appointment Monday, I almost measured 32 weeks. Talk about false hope!! As the days of delivery get nearer, bringing home this baby is all I think about. As I pack for going to Chicago this afternoon, I think "this is the last time it will be this easy to pack to leave". As I waited for my ride to pick me up on Saturday for a wedding, I sat on my couch thinking, "one day I will be sitting here on my daughter's wedding day." Talk about hormones!!!! Then I think how extremely blessed I am to have this miracle child inside my womb. The child I was told was an ectopic pregnancy. The child the doctor's almost cut into me to remove. Then I remember it was the grace of God that kept me from the operating room that day. That makes me long for her birth even more, so I can share with her just how special she is and how great our God is.
