so it's been nearly 2 months since i posted last and so much has changed since then! the most obvious is of course the belly! i will try to post a picture later, but until then...the update!
i spent a glorious 2 1/2 weeks in the great northwest with my husband, my wonderful friends, and my family. we stayed one night in leavenworth, washington at my parents condo. we enjoyed shopping in downtown leavenworth, and some of the gang went river rafting, but alas, the little on prohibits me from anything too "exciting"! we made our way back to the suburbs of seattle and spent the night at my parents house in shoreline. the next day, tim played "tour guide" in downtown seattle while i was able to sing with seattle children's chorus in benaroya hall as a part of the 20th anniversary concert. i was proud to be a blossoming mama and joining with such talented young people to make some incredible music- definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity and a memory to tell the little one about when she gets bigger! the 7 of us then headed north to spend some time relaxing on camano island with tim's family. we took a beautiful ferry ride and visited friday harbor, relaxed at the beach on the island, and had a wonderful end to our vacation.
after saying goodbye to our friends, it was time for me to get into "matron of honor mode". keeping my sister sane and happy in the weeks before her wedding was no small task, but i am proud to say...together, we had success! the wedding was beautiful and went off without a hitch. again, another wonderful memory to tell to the little girlie after she gets here.
since being home, we have realized that we have SO much to do before this little girl gets here. we have the crib set up, but the nursery is no where near ready. i have begun my (overwhelming) search for a pediatrician or family doctor. but that is the tip of the iceberg. i've been feeling more overwhelmed than i have before, feeling unprepared and nervous as for what is to come. i know that every new parent probably feels this way. so i just try to take comfort in the fact that i am not alone, and ultimately...God is still in control....
