News from the Nest

My little unborn daughter, Gabriella, has dropped.  I feel like we've both become significantly lighter.  I've been getting braxton hicks contractions in the evenings (during dinner...which kind of makes 'family time' hard:)

But...

Man have I been nesting!  I mean, I've been "polishing the china" type nesting!  Hahahah!  I made home made bread.  From scratch...With flour from a bag that didn't start as bread...LOL!  It's been wonderful....And the kids and Dad all loved the bread!:)

I'll keep you posted as we go, but know that I'm praying for you all, my dear readers (especially those who are expecting their own little miracles too!)  I don't remember my daughter dropping this early, so maybe I've got my first "early bird" on my hands.  All the others were an average of 10-12 days late.  *sigh* Thy will be done Lord.

  1. I hope you're a little early this time! Ten to 12 days late must be a real trial to bear! Glad to hear she's dropped...always such a relief and calm before the storm.

    I am nesting with you in spirit but the body is weak, weak, weak. I feel like I have nothing left. I'm sure I have too much on my plate and that I need time to just rest and wait and nest...but that time time doesn't seem to be scheduled into the calendar!

    Praying for you and Gabriella!
