Baby Blair!

Let's pretend like it hasn't been several months (8 or so?) since my last post...oops! Life got busy after that, and here we are now, impatiently awaiting the arrival of our little girl!

I've been more than blessed during my pregnancy. I've known women and talked to women that experience all sorts of problems during the time they are carrying their little ones. I dealt with the usual morning (and noon and night, some days) sickness until shortly after Christmas. Since then, symptoms have been fairly easy to manage. Also, being a teacher is about the best profession for someone expecting a baby in July. The hard part definitely started when school was over. Perfect timing!

This Sunday is my due date! I can't even begin believe that she's been baking for nine entire months. Perhaps Abby will be prompt and arrive exactly on her due date. If not, we know that we will definitely have her sometime next week...doctor's orders!!

Jared has been a saint and has been so helpful. Luckily for me, he's a better cook than I am, and has taken charge of our meals on many occasions these last nine months! He's done so much around the house and has taken wonderful care of me. He's going to be a fantastic dad! We are celebrating our second wedding anniversary Monday, July 28. Marrying him was a good idea!

Since my favorite thing to do right now is sit on the couch, I figured I'd use the opportunity to post some pictures from throughout our little journey. It's funny how nine months can seem like an eternity some days, but it's nothing in the scheme of things!

From 15 weeks to 39 weeks - hello, bump!

Abby's profile view from sometime in the beginning of May :)

Some decorations and artwork in the nursery!

Abby will be so stylish! :)

Jared bought himself a diaper bag! And our Boppy pillow.

Dad painted an "Abby" sign for the nursery, and Kathy gave us a cute giraffe picture with spaces for Abby's birth stats!

And last but not least, a Milo for good measure - already practicing guard dog duty by the crib!

So there you have it! Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive during our pregnancy. We can't wait to meet our little girl, and I can't wait to share her with all of our family and friends! Please keep us in your prayers over the next several days!
