36 weeks today!!!!!

WOW! It seems like yesterday that we found out we were expecting, and now we are 4 weeks away from the "inevitable" (as Jon puts it). We are so excited about our upcoming arrival, and we have made nearly all of our preparations.

Jennifer went for a checkup a few days ago, and the doc said all looked great. Jaycie's heartrate was an excellent 154, and Jennifer's vitals were great. No dilation yet, but the babies head is down and in place (just like it is supposed to be!).

We have spent our last two Saturdays learning as much as we can about what we are about to face! During part of our classes, we were given a tour of the hospital and labor and delivery area. It was both extremely overwhelming and very exciting at the same time. It was very obvious to both of us that there was no turning back at this point, and that what we were about to go through would be something that we would never forget!

So Hannah has a very small grasp on what is about to happen. She can say "Jaycie" and she knows she is "Her Sister" (though she doesn't understand what a sister is). She likes to pat Jennifer's belly and give it hugs and kisses. On a side note, she also thinks that Jennifer's breasts have babies in them. We have tried to teach her otherwise, but somehow she insists that she is right. Oh well, I guess we can't expect the mind of a two-year old to grasp such a complex biology lesson!

Well, we will continue to keep everyone updated during these final weeks. There are alot of uncertainties right now, but three things we know for sure is....

1. What goes in must come out
2. What comes out will change our lives forever
3. God is in control
