A Full Week

We are one day away from our baby entering our lives. We are excited and anxious all at the same time. I am sure Jim will update his blog sometime on Monday to share our news. My parents are coming in tonight, and Jim's folks come in tomorrow. It is here!!

This week Laura and I made bird's nest cookies. It is a cute Easter cookie and quite tasty. I had forgotten that Laura doesn't really like to have messy hands, so I pretty much shaped the cookies and she added the M & M's. And then she didn't really even like them. She is extremely particular about her sweets! Regardless, it was fun.

Among all of our last-minute preparations for the baby's arrival, we've been in the midst of showing our house to a potential buyer. They came back this morning for a second look and decided to make an offer tomorrow. And yes, we do go into the hospital on Monday morning for a c-section.

The last thing we expected the week before my delivery was to be selling our house. A tip came from April about a couple looking to buy in our neighborhood, so we hopped on it even though we haven't put our house on the market yet. It would be a HUGE blessing if it all worked out now, and if we didn't have to stress about selling the house after the baby is born. We probably still won't move until June, and this actually will work out fine with the potential buyer. At this point, we just have to wait and see what happens.

We ask for your prayers as we welcome baby boy or girl on Monday morning. Specifically, we're praying that the c-section will go smoothly, the baby is healthy, and our transition is easy.
