So, this is what happens at 12:15am when one is 34 weeks pregnant: no sleep. :)
However, pregnancy is an amazing feat to me. The creation of a complete an entire separate human being who will resemble her father and me in a beautiful and unique way; both physically and mentally in all our good ways and bad ways. God already knows who she will become, what amazing feats she will accomplish, and all the other little details of living a life that is glorifying and pleasing to Him.
Wow!
This midnight reflection puts it all into perspective for me. :) The achy back, the sore hips, the swollen hands and feet, the carpal tunnel (yes, that is what I have now), the insomnia, the heartburn, the frequent bathroom trips...they all pale in comparison to the life somersaulting and moving within me. I love you little one, but believe it or not, God loves you even more!
My little one's lullaby:
All through the day
all through the night
dwell in His promises
walk in His light.
Darkness shall flee
at His command;
All through the day and night,
we're in His hand.

time flies when you're having fun...
...at least that's what I'm telling myself as to why I've not kept up with my blog! ;) Seriously though, life is good on Prospect. Keeping busy means keeping out of trouble and the end of July and the beginning of August now have been pretty trouble free!
An account of the past weeks is below in pictures...
Our baby girl's bedroom is coming together with new trim paint, new carpet, a crib, and a changing table. I think she's got all she needs to arrive home! A few more finishing touches will be completed in the next few weeks...
Jason sorts through a storage unit that held pretty much all of his father's earthly belongings. It has been an interesting (and rather fun!) trip down memory lane for him. Of course now we're a little stuck trying to figure out where to put all these things...
Jason's mom got remarried. It was so sweet to see her and her new husband so in love! (just to clarify, Jason's mom and dad had been divorced for many years...)
And, our biggest project this summer has been an extreme makeover for the backyard. It began way back in May and has progressed slowly throughout the summer. Tearing down the old shed, building a retaining wall, and now building a new shed...we give many thanks to dad and Uncle Doug for their many hours of help and labor as this project has slowly unfolded. The end result will be great!
