Today is our official due date and while there are still a few hours remaining to December 20th, the baby seems quite content. We are being reminded that good things come to those who wait! What will happen with the counter that is on our blog! Does it continue to count past one's due date?
The munchkin's nursery is ready for a wee one and Krissy is often found sitting in the rocking chair just taking everything in. As previously mentioned, our friend Brian came to paint. The walls are a very pale yellow and the ceiling and the inside of the closet are a pale blue (similar to the crib bedding). Gabe's mom made a very beautiful and colorful quilt that arrived recently.
Last Monday was Krissy's last day at work (conveniently she will return on April 19th - after tax season) and she is getting what she had hoped for...time to just 'be' before the baby's arrival. This past week has found Krissy and Gabe at the City Park. While Gabe ice skates on the lake, Krissy has been walking laps around the lake with Nina - in the hopes of getting labor started! It has been such a great week relaxing as husband and wife, sleeping in (we are aware this will be a luxury once we welcome the baby), and simply discussing our dreams.
A few weeks ago our friend Jenn came over to take 'belly pics' and what a great job she did. We are truly thankful for her time and the memories captured for this incredibly special time in our lives.
37 Weeks - Nina is definitely aware of my belly!
Krissy's favorite
While we wait with joyful anticipation for the arrival of our blessing, we wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a very joyous holiday season.
Great pics! Here's hoping this little Reilly makes his/her debut soon!! What a wonderful present for Christmas as well !!
ReplyDeleteSquee! It's SO CLOSE now! Can't wait to meet your first child. :D I know he or she is being born into a loving family.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous pictures! Jenn did a fantastic job - and I LOVE what she did with that belly and hands pic! How special! And how special that you, Gabe, and Nina get to spend this time together before baby arrives. You will be nice and relaxed for when the baby comes to shake things up!
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled with how the pictures turned out and that you both are so happy with them. Max and I are so excited to meet baby Reilly. Enjoy your time together before the big day.
ReplyDeleteWell, time is near and baby will be here!! How exciting and what a gift from God for Christmas! Nothing can top this.......
