Well, we thought we might kick-off our Facebook and Blog pages at our big 37-week pregnancy mark. Partly because it's a good milestone, but mostly because I've just started my maternity leave, and finally have time to sit still for a bit. At 37 weeks (Friday, October 14th) the pregnancy is "full-term", and anything can happen, any time (official due date is November 4th).
It has been a whirlwind year, with (a smooth) pregnancy taking the forefront for Matthew and myself. But in addition to growing belly, we've purchased a house (moving a town over) and have entered into the swing of brand new jobs.
We're finally settled in to our new life in Dana Point, thanks to Matthew's non-stop work on the house, getting it quickly very liveable for us. Aside from 40+ a week of architecture work, he's practically been around-the-clock with Home Depot runs, repairs, and setting up our place. (Photos of the nursery are coming soon!). He has shown to be unstoppable.
The phrase around the house is "Buns of Steel" because that's what we are both getting, climbing the seemingly dozens of stairs in the house.
My best friend (and baby-auntie) Jennifer threw us an incredible Baby Shower at our place a couple weekends ago. Her perfectionist nature and a ton of work on her part, made our day- well, perfect and unforgettable. Topping off the atmosphere was a special visit from Matthew's mom Kevin, and some incredible baking on her part. We will post Shower photos soon.
We miss our family and friends, and hope that new channels of communication will open with our baby's arrival. It's finally time to slow down, enjoy life, and enjoy our new family; along with all the family who has loved us non-stop along this journey.
The baby boy will be born at Saddleback Hospital in Laguna Hills, and we are excited to reveal his name then. Don't worry, it's not too hippy - but also not too common. (We have a feeling it will fit him well.)
Love and light, until next time!
Erin
