Leaving the church from the baby shower





Baby Shower on November 8th


Its been a while since blogging...lots happening and lots to do!! Me and Eric had a sweet Thanksgiving together this year just being with one another...last time that it will be just me and him. He got up and watched the Parade with me, worked on Kaleb's room some, I cooked us dinner, and then we sat down and told each other things we were thankful for. I am so thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, my sweet husband, our baby on the way, and the many blessings he has provided us with this year.


My last day of work is next Friday (12th) and its going to be very bitter sweet. I love working for the church and working with the staff but very anxious to be home with Kaleb and being a mommy!! Wow, that sounded odd.


I had two wonderful baby showers in November...First one was November 8th thrown by the Church staff and the second one by my Sunday school class on November 22nd. Eric's sister and mom got to be at the first one and my mom came down for the second one. They were both so precious and I felt so much love and friendship. My church family has continued to bring in more and more presents in the last several weeks...it has truly humbled me that anyone would think of me and Kaleb to buy a gift. One of the older ladies in the church is even crocheting a baby's blanket for him!!



Lastly, the doctor finally set a C-section date for my little guy which is January 13th at 7:30am. We are thrilled, excited, anxious, nervous, and just a bottle of emotion while being in these final days. I am going to try and enjoy my belly and being pregnant these last weeks because its went by so fast.



Hopefully, this Saturday I will be putting up our tree and decorations...I look forward to sitting in the dark, fire in the fireplace, my sweetie and me in my favorite chair, puppies beside our chair, with just the Christmas lights on and listening to classic Christmas tunes!!

Rocky -n- Maya

10:00AM
Rocky: Day one of my new fence. I've been sniffing all over this yard and I can't shake it....There's another dog here....
Maya: Rocky...It's me. I'm the other dog.

Rocky: Hush Maya...I'm on the trail. Yep...another dog...maybe a girl dog, Yep a girl dogs has been here no less than 10 minutes ago....probably with a boy dog.
Maya: Rock...Seriously, I'm standing right next to you

12:00PM
Rocky: Maya!! Did you see that
Maya: Yeah..just like 5 minutes ago...it's a squirrel
Rocky: I think there's another dog here!....
Maya: Please don't start this again. Why do they leave me with you all day? Why?

3:00PM
Maya:
Hey Rock! What d'ya think of this new dog that's on the way, Kaleb?
Rocky: Is he Chewie?
Maya: NO! He's a new dog I think. I'm worried the long haired one is trying to replace me. She
always is trying to keep me off the furniture. I love the Bald one. He lets me do
whatever I want. Maybe this Kaleb will love me too and I can rid the house of the long
hair.
Rocky: Is he a Squirrel??
Maya: Why do I try to talk to you...Maybe this tree will understand?..."Hello Tree".

4:00PM
Rocky: Maya! Smell that?....There's another dog here!!
Maya: Please Bald one...come home quick!

Pressure washing and painting



My sweetie, Eric, pressure washed after an exhausting day of helping some friends from Church move...its amazing the difference in the deck so far!! Its so hard being tall and using that type of machine which makes him slightly bend over to work...while he was washing on the deck I was inside painting on Baby Kaleb's room. Its 90% done and Eric can finish that off tonight or tomorrow. Its looking so good and I can only imagine what my little guy will look like laying his room!!
I am officially in my last trimester and 28 weeks and 1 day (7 months)!! Its SOOO exciting to know my C-section is scheduled 11 weeks from now!! Countdown is on!! We go to the doctor on Thursday for my Glucose and Iron test which I am not thrilled about but a necessary test. Baby Kaleb is moving around and I just love to feel him in there. I personally think he is crammed in my belly with no room...I think he's a long one like his mommy was. We thank God daily for this miracle and rejoice in his blessings!!
**Psalms 118:28-29 You are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt you. Give thanks to the Lord, for his is good; his love endures forever.

Week 27....and 1 day

Alas...It's week 27, actually 1 day past and I'm still in this dark cave. There's been no contact with the outside world since....well....since ever. However, I keep up hope that one day I'll emerge from this sloshy prison...emerge to what I know not, but Hope I yet keep.
Kaleb...........week 27


Took a short nap then continued my rigorous exercise program, mainly consisting of leg work at the present time. I've found that if I arch my back and kick just right...this entire cave will move.
Tried to start a fire today, but realized I'm not exactly sure how to use my eyes yet so I resorted back to flipping over then flipping back.

The creatures outside my cave have been active as of late. They shout and they sing. I fear some of them have detected my presence and are directing they're strange sounds toward me. I shout at them in an effort to make them flee..."AWAY from my cave you vile Beasts!!" Though they're language seems primitive...they seem to know my name. I would suspect a mole or a spy had leaked the information, but as I am the only one here...I'll blame my toe. I must take my leave as tomorrow is a big day for me. I'm going to attempt a jumping jack.

I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. 1 Samuel 1:27 NIV




Today, I started this blog for our family and friends to keep up with Kaleb Webster in his many adventures. I am 26 weeks and 4 days today and 7 months is just around the corner. Words can't explain the excitement and joy that me and Eric have in our hearts right now as we gear up to meet our child. It seemed like it was a long time in the making but God knew the right timing for us and for our family!! We already go into his room and just look or gaze into his closet where some of his little clothes are hanging and just stare in amazement. God is so GOOD!! I tell Eric that I hope Kaleb has his blue eyes and sharp wit but my head of hair!!!


Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17 NIV
