8 Months Down!


I'm a bit over a week late with this post - but better late than never right? (When you are 8+ months pregnant, and walking on what look like elephant feet, you have to get in the right mindset to have your picture taken...It took me awhile! :-))

It's hard to believe we only have 2 weeks, 5 days until the due date! Seriously, she could come at any time now. I used to always see pregnant women and wonder what it felt like to know that you could go into labor at any time. Do you wake up everyday wondering "Is today the day?" I now know that they were all probably thinking, "Please, God, let today be the day!" Ha! I'm kidding. I have loved every minute of this pregnancy. Yes, I may have been a little neurotic and worried a little too much about every little thing - but who doesn't with their first, right?! (You'll have to ask Michael about his ongoing list of ailments/problems I was convinced - at least once during this pregnancy - I had. It's quite humorous. I hope he's not serious when he says we can't have another one! I keep trying to tell him the next time around will be a breeze! I'll know what to expect - especially the difference between heartburn and a pulmonary embolism!)

Anyhoo, baby girl Krenek is apparently content in her confined living space for now as yesterday's doctor appt. revealed no dilation so far. We'll see if next week brings any progress. He estimated that she is weighing in at somewhere between 5 1/2 and 6 lbs, which made me ecstatic because I was convinced she was already hovering around the 8 lb mark.

We're putting the finishing touches on the nursery this weekend and will hope to post pics of the completed project next week. In the meantime, here are some pics from last weekend's Memorial Day festivities when we had the Nance, Isler and Presnell clans over for some delicious barbecue. The pics are of the kids at a local sprayground. They had a great time. The last picture is a great summation of how we all felt at the end of the day!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Here are nephew Brady and niece Tatum playing in the water:


Here, nephew Taylor watches as water is poured from above - Brady watches from afar.

Tatum makes some friends while Brady savors the shower.


Nephew Collin, wiped out by the days events, can't even muster the energy to finish off his PB&J sandwich.

I've been wondering where you were ... and thinking -- just maybe! Rest now, girl!!!! Enjoy the last couple of weeks! Or not. Jenna came 2 weeks, 2 days early. And boy was I ready! :) Have a great weekend!

You would think that after being married for 5 years you would know how to spell my last name? Who knew?

You look great! Can't wait to meet her and see the finished nursery!
