Flu, Flu, Go Away!

My dearest Brooklynn has been struck by the terrible flu.  In the first full month of school she has missed 6 days already!  We are on day 7 of the virus and the doctor said to expect 10-14 days....we have cabin fever!  She has been a trooper through it all but it breaks my heart to see her sick and miss out on school, soccer games (not to mention her big picnic for soccer tomorrow), Awana on Wednesday nights, Sunday School, and of course playing with the neighborhood friends (her best friend moves tomorrow so they couldn't play together all week - especially during the beautiful weather)!  Yet times like these remind us of all we have to be thankful for and not to take it for granted!  Our praise has been that Heath and I both have not gotten it (my OB put me on some preventative meds) and our prayer is that Brooklynn recovers back to health and that all the germ bugs are out of our house before baby boy arrives in less than 3 weeks or sooner!  I think God is teaching me that there are some things that you just can't control but have to leave in his hands!   

Maternity and Family Pictures

On Labor Day we had Mare come over (http://www.photosbymare.com/) and take some maternity pictures along with some general family pictures.  All of the pictures are posted on our shutterfly account but I put some cute ones on here too.  There were some great pictures however I LOOK TERRIBLE!  For some reason my eyes look bad and I look so pale and blah...so disregard me.  I think she did a good job though! 

Alaska Photo Book

Since I haven't taken the time to add and comment about our Alaska trip, I have put the photo book I made on our shutterfly site.  If you scroll down it is towards the bottom.  Enjoy - there are some beautiful pics! http://drebailey.shutterfly.com/

Less than a month to go!

So I am officially 9 months preggo and feeling every inch of it!  Baby boy still has no name (please pray for that one) but is definitely a big and healthy baby.  I am going on 45 lbs of pregnancy weight and fortunately it is all belly (and boobs)!  During the holiday weekend we had a photographer come out and take some maternity pictures along with some family pictures.  As soon as I get the CD I will be sure to post the good ones and add all the pics to our shutterfly account for all to see. 

The nursery is completely painted with sand, water, islands, a boat and palm trees to go along with our Ahoy Mate theme.  Now we just need baby!  :)  My next appointment is Sept. 14 when the doctor will check me and also the position of the baby.  Heath is going along and will finally meet the new doctor!  My old OB left us in July when she moved to NC.  We will be delivering (or I will be) at Community North Hosptial.  I can only hope that baby boy will arrive early like Brooklynn did at 2 weeks early.  Any day now!  :)
