Almost there...

Just a little less than 2 weeks to go and this week has already been such an interesting one. With 2 trips to labor and delivery under our belt (this week that is) we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of baby Parker. I have been having contractions for some time now and based on their consistency and regularity I am now considered to be in the Early Labor stage. Along with contractions I have lost my mucous plug, am 1 cm dilated, 80% effaced and Parker is low and in position no longer 'bobbing' in my pelvic area. This is all great news and we are so excited to be progressing and that it could be any day now but somehow the waiting game is still a bit hard. At this point we are waiting for the contractions that I am having to be intense and 'unbearable' as they say to know when it is the "right time."

Please be praying for us and for Parker...  Thanks for your support. 

Due to recent encouragement...

So I received some recent 'encouragement' from friends that they actually read my blog and would like me to keep up with it. Here is an attempt to do so...  

A little over a week ago I had my Baby Shower. It was really a great event and I am thankful for all those who helped make it special by hosting, help prepare details, and all who

 attended. It really meant a lot and means a lot to both Dan and I to have you all there and share in our joy and excitement as we anticipate the arrival of baby Parker. It is truly a blessing to have each of you who have walked with me in various times of my life journey with me now during this special time. Each of you have been a blessing in my life and I

 am thankful for your love and support, more then you know. Thanks again. 

Here are some pics from the day..
