Oh Baby!!! 34 weeks:)

We made it to 34 weeks, folks! I am so excited that now I can officially deliver at the hospital that I want to:) I know this seems like a strange thing to be thankful for, but I really am anticipating St Joseph's as the environment and the staff all seem so wonderful, and they only take mothers who are at 34 weeks or beyond because they do not have a nursery equipped to deal with babies that come sooner. It makes me feel more "official" I suppose you might say, and it is crazy to think that in as little as 3 weeks, I'll be full-term:) This Baby Girl is quite the kicker----she moves and groves constantly, and while that is a massive blessing for a mother who can tend to worry, she is getter stronger everyday, and often it hurts:) But...I am thankful for the jabs and kicks, and I can't wait to meet her! Happy Saturday everyone! Thesis, oh thesis, here I come! (I have been working long hours on this puppy this week as Jason has fall break....and I've got 40 pages so far. I can't wait to be done. Pray for me if you think of it that I would be productive with the time that God has given me to get 'er done -----hopefully before baby comes:)

Oh my goodess, you can make out the finish line in the distance!

I'll be praying for you and your writing today - for words that flow as smooth as a baby's bottom......or something like that! lol :)

Yay for 34 weeks!!! :) That's SO wonderful! It really does feel like it's right around the corner for both of us....although the actual month of December feels really far away :) I hope and pray that you were able to get a lot of writing done today!!

Oh hang in there, Claire!! I'm all about the thesis writing these days, too. It seems like a never-ending process, but keep chugging. I'm so proud of how dedicated you are to your studies and how accomplished you have been in the last few years... all while being a wonderful mother and wife. You inspire me ! I look forward to reading your paper!
