It's official!!!! I am definitely pregnant:) 36 weeks to be exact and I am feeling every single week at this stage. I hate to complain, but my goodness--- people were right when they said the 9th month is the hardest. I am gigantic---- as round as a butterball turkey and I have 4 weeks left. After finding out yesterday that Henry is now weighing a whopping 6lbs, 7oz...... I am scared to think how BIG this boy will be when he makes his debut.
Alex and I have now been apart for 8 weeks. It has been very hard but the end is near!!! 2 weeks from Friday, I greet Alex at the New Orleans Airport. The date---- DECEMBER 23rd!!!!! So, if you could all start praying now that he makes it to New Orleans for his scheduled arrival, that would be GREAT. Thanks.
For the past 4 weeks, I have been extremely busy preparing our new home for my husband and our first child. If you do not know, I absolutely HATE decorating. Some people LOVE it-- like my mom--- but it is just not for me. I do not have "an eye" for decorating, so when I go to look for furniture I find myself totally OVERWHELMED! I mean, we had to start from SCRATCH! I am talking about EVERYTHING! Have you ever thought about how hard it would be to stock a home--- starting from the basics of trashcans, toilet cleaner, silverware, lightbulbs (oh, and the lights)--- AND EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!!!!! When you move, you usually bring the basics with you--- Well, not us:)
My mom and sister have been a great help and I pray that Alex likes what we have done. Of course, I send pictures to him all the time, but it is hard to envision what it actually looks like, especially since he has never stepped foot into our home. Did I tell y'all that? Nope, Alex has not been inside our home yet. That day comes on the 23rd of December----see why I am so eager for this day to come!!!!!
Fairhope is such a sweet little town. I really am so happy that we choose to have a place here, and it makes it even more special that my sister and family are so close. It is still SHOCKING that I can jump in my car and be at my sister's house in 4 minutes:) Mom and dad are only 2 hours away and they are here most weekends. I can see lots of tears in my future when I have to head back to Dubai.
I thought I would add a few pictures of the inside of the house that I have been so busy at decorating--- or at least attempting. Laura and Patrick surprised me last night when I arrived back in Fairhope with a REAL CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!!!!!!! It was so so so special and I have been decorating it today:)
