Still Waiting

I am 39 weeks pregnant today...and Addison is just kicking and moving, and seems to be having a grand ol' time and not anywhere near being ready to say it's too crowded, get me out of here. Haha. I have been feeling some contractions, and they are becoming more intense contractions, but nowhere near consistant...so we're still waiting. At first I was terrified she was going to come too early. Which is a terrifying thought when you have your belongings spread between two cars, two houses, and a storage unit. But as of this weekend we are completely moved in to our new house. All of our belongings finally in one place. There is still one room with boxes (the office), and there is only one picture hung (in the nursery, of course), but other than that we are completely unpacked and starting to get settled in. So, now that we are settled in and my feet and ankles seem to swell monumentally more everyday, I am saying it's time to meet Addison!!!

I just realized I never blogged about our house. It's such an answered prayer! We thought we would be living with my parents, honestly until December at least. We knew for sure that there was no way to find and buy a house before Addison came...and now here we are...all moved in with a week to spare. :) It truly is incredible. I need to take some pictures and post them, but I will do that a little later...as I'm trying to keep my feet up as much as possible. Let me say, though, that moving when you are 37 weeks pregnant is nowhere near ideal - and the cause of my swollen feet and ankles, I'm sure! But, if you have a need to do some serious nesting...moving into a new house will definitely take care of that! :)

Brad starts his new job with the Lubbock Fire Dept. tomorrow. We are both very excited, and anxious about it - as with any new job, I'm sure. As his wife, I think I am more anxious for him as I want him to love it, and to make friends, and for people to see him for who he really is. I've learned in my years with him that this doesn't always happen as soon as I would like, but it always does happen. So, I am just praying that he will love his new job.

This week has big life changes in it for us. Our first full week in our new house, a new job, and quite possibly a new baby...all in a new town. Please pray for us as we begin this week full of exciting, and uncertain events. I can't wait to post that our little girl is here!! Thank you for your prayers, I know they will be felt.

P.S. - pictures of the nursery are coming, too! :)
