“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

So...I know I haven't posted in FOREVER, but I'm doing a quick post to ask everyone's opinion about some maternity pics I had taken today. I'm at 34 weeks, just as an FYI. Anywho...My good friend Becky has an awesome camera and is eager to try it out and use anyone as guinea pigs as she is learning to perfect her already great photo skills! :) I think Becky did an awesome job! We aren't done yet, I want Shayne in the pics, but he was fishing today(shocker!), so we'll be finishing up the photo shoot later. However, I would love to hear some feedback on the pics. Which ones are your favorite, and do you have any other ideas or suggestions.


I just thought this pic was funny...it shows a little more of my true personality.

I'll follow up in a couple of days with an update of the past couple of weeks, and what Shayne and I have been up to.

30 Weeks...and counting down!!



So, I took a picture between 28 and 29 weeks of the baby bump, but it was soooo not cute!! So...I waited until a Sunday, b/c it's about the only day of the week I actually do my hair and more that just mascara. :) So, here is the 30 week baby bump. And...we only have 8 more weeks to go! Yup...we've scheduled Friday, Oct. 3rd for our C-section. So, barring any unforeseen complications, our little boy will be here 2 months from yesterday! How exciting...I think!



Speaking of our little boy, here's his last ultrasound pic from his 28 week appointment. I'm pretty sure this is a face only a mother can love at this point! :) He's definitely starting to run out of room in there, so his face is squished up against my uterus. As a result...he has a HUGE nose!! Really...it's a squished nose, b/c from his last profile pic, he has a cute little nose. Still...kind of a funny picture huh? But I still think he's cute! I actually measure 33 inches at this appointment, and aren't I only supposed to be about 28 inches? I'm a little concerned I'm going to have a massive baby, but Doc seems unconcerned so I'll go with his nonchalance about it all. :)

Oh...and by the way...if you want to read a great post on dip-netting you need to check out Angela & Eric's blog. The whole blog is pretty funny (beware of his latest post about getting seasick), but about 3 posts down Eric did a great job of explaining the whole Alaskan dipnetting thing...and it's hilarious!
