Five Weeks and Counting ...

Somehow we've made it through 35 weeks! Whitney feels like she can't get comfortable. She's having trouble sleeping. She can't bend over. The medicine works most of the time, but she can't go without taking it. Even when she does, she gets nauseous almost every night. Despite all of this, everyone tells us that these last several weeks are going to drag on. We're excited though! We can't wait to meet our baby girl, despite how hard it's been for the last eight months. It's going to be great!

Jacob set up the crib about a month ago. It's a beautiful cherry wood. We hope it lasts for years and years, but it didn't take long to discover that it appears to be a pretty soft wood. We have the mattress sitting inside with a couple packs of diapers and wipes. We're just waiting for a baby. Jacob thinks the baby is going to come early, but she doesn't agree. She thinks the baby is going to come right on time. That or on Valentine's Day. We bought a "stinking cute" Minnie dress today that is obviously supposed to be for the holiday and what better day to celebrate our love child than Valentine's Day?
