Countdown to baby

As of today, we are less than one week away from meeting baby Loyal. My c-section is scheduled for the morning of December 10th (one week from today)! I am so excited to meet this little boy, but also becoming a little nervous about the prospect of being a mother of three. I hope I can handle them all! I'm sure it will be overwhelming at first, but when are children not overwhelming?  And it is my experience that God always gives me the grace to handle just about anything. 

This week we have a lot going on...Reagan has her Christmas program on Thursday night, Josh has a birthday (and a conference in San Diego) on Friday, my mom and dad arrive and Reagan is in the city Christmas parade on Saturday, then Sunday morning is Reagan's ballet recital at the Santa breakfast! Along with all of that, I'll be making final preparations for baby's homecoming. Whew! I'm tired just thinking about it all. Now we just need to keep Loyal from making his exit until at least Sunday night!

Stay tuned for pictures of all of the above mentioned activities. I can't promise how quickly I'll get them posted, but my goal is be all caught up on blogging before Tuesday.

I'll leave you with a belly picture that Heather took over Thanksgiving weekend....not sure I could get any bigger!
