The waiting game

I've been having contractions here and there for several days now, but nothing has come of it yet. As you would expect, I'm feeling very uncomfortable and ready to be done, although I'm still unsure about how this is going to work with three kids and a new baby! I'm really enjoying sleeping through most nights and I'm not looking forward to going back to getting up several times a night every single night. I went through a period the last few weeks where I couldn't stop cleaning stuff. I cleaned out and vacuumed my closet, which probably hasn't been done in three years! I'm telling you, "nesting" is not imaginary!

My great friends Brittany and Susan threw me a baby shower which was incredibly sweet. Also, my sister drove up from down south for the shower and stayed overnight with us, which is always fun. She's such a big help when she's here, and of course the kids love her!

My friend Amanda Anderson from Evan's school is starting a photography business and needed some maternity shots for her portfolio, so we took the kids down to the park and took a bunch of picutres. It was really fun, and she got some beautiful shots!
