Hello friends & family & other wonderful people who check out this little blog of mine (thank you by the way!). Here are some photos of our little life lately. As you can see, full of love, good food and sunshine. Just the way I like it. Today is April 25th and officially due date. I can't believe it has been nine months! Now, it's up to William when he wants to come (but I am sure going to do everything I can to get him motivated!!) As with every milestone, I feel lots of gratitude to all the people who have helped get us here, keep us positive and make our lives that much more beautiful.  We are surrounded by really lovely people and I cannot wait for them to continue this journey with us and William!

At 40 weeks, I feel great. I still have lots of energy and am trying to get in some sort of exercise every day. I hope that this makes my labor a little smoother. I am talking to William and telling him my wishes of having a smooth, stress free labor for the both of us. He says he wants the same. =) So I'm glad we are on the same page. It is such a crazy feeling not knowing what my life is going to be like tomorrow or even by the end of the day. Just going with the flow and trusting in the process! Love to you all.

PS- hospital bag is packed and waiting at the door! Snaps.

Happy Days

loving me some avocados right now

I am seriously devouring avocado right now. Nick told me to remove them with a spoon! whoddathunk? =) Smart boy, that Nick. This past week we made avocado salad with yummy dressing (balsamic, olive oil, and dijon mustard). And guacamole (with lime, fresh garlic, olive oil and some salt). It was so good, I accidentally ate all of it and forget to share. Sorry babe! Eating for two over here.

Easter Sunday

Almost my favorite season! Mango season!

I hope everyone had a great Easter! We sure did. It was full of yummy food and time with family. Doesn't get much better than that. Today is 20 days until William's due date! I think he is going to be a May baby though =)

Remember.

This quote always reminds me of my best friend, Jessica, who is going through some of her own changes right now. These March winds sure are bringing change our way! All good changes, but all requiring patience and trust. Patience in the unfolding of life and trust that it will all work out. It always does! 

This photo is another from our baby bump photo shoot. Reflecting back, it brings me feelings of peace and gratitude. It meant so much to me that my photos were as important to Nick as they were to me. He was so excited to give me just what I wanted. And as my photographer, boat captain, and stylist, he couldn't have done a better job. We had so much fun taking these pictures. I wish I had some with him in them but we will make that happen in the next couple of weeks! 

Today, I am officially 34 weeks, with 6 weeks to go! But who's counting? =)

March kicked off with a cold front and it has been really nice to have our doors and windows open with the cool breeze. We are 32 weeks along and will be meeting William in about 6 short weeks, give or take a few days. We are getting very anxious/nervous/excited! William is moving around a lot and is very active during the day. He lets me sleep through the night, which I hope continues! =) We picked out a color for the nursery over the weekend. It's a light, sky blue. Very pretty and relaxing. We have everything we need for William's arrival thanks to the generosity of our friends and family. Nick and I keep talking about how lucky and thankful we are. We are amazed at all the stuff that we have and how it has all managed to come together perfectly. I can't wait to see the nursery all done and cozy and comfy, just waiting for William to lay his sweet head!
