Right now the kids are sitting at the table with my Mom, eating warm cookies and milk and doing crafts. She's here until after I have the baby, which could be any day, and I'm already so much more relaxed with her here. She took the kids for dates today and they each came home with a special gifts and stories of vanilla ice cream cones and french fries. Meanwhile, I took a nap, made dinner and straightened up the house a little. Just having her here makes my life a thousand times easier and more relaxing. (Mom, want to stay forever?!)
This summer has been super. Honestly, we have done just the right amount of little things over the weeks and enjoyed it to the fullest. I am relishing this time with my babies who are at such precious, fun ages. We have a few weeks before school starts and I think by then I will be just about ready!
Summer Moments:
Ice cream picnic and movie night--the kids loved this!
Got a Groupon for our local Children's Museum. The kids could spend all day there!
Miniature Bowling...so much fun!
Ball: $2.00. Look on his face: Priceless.
"Mommy, I'm pregnant." Bounce bounce bounce. He's been watching Mommy a lot this month ;)
A much needed few hours out alone for last minute baby shopping
Patiently waiting for their bedtime story
Date night selfie gone wrong ;)
My diligent little helper sorting socks
Yogurt Lover
Yesterday I had my 39 week appointment. Pretty hard to believe--this pregnancy has flown by way too fast! I'm very ready to have this baby, but also relishing these weeks of our family of 5 and no 2am wake up calls. ;) My blood platelets dropped to a crazy low number at 36 weeks and I became a high risk patient, which was stressful. Visited a blood specialist, got a detailed u/s of our beautiful baby boy and talked about which OBGYN and hospital to switch to. However, thanks to many people praying for me, my counts came up drastically within a few days. It was truly a miracle and I will still be allowed to deliver at the birth center, which I am so relieved and excited about! God is so good! My counts, while still low, are within a safe range and have stayed stable for the last 2 weeks!
I'm hoping that my next post will be a baby announcement (fingers crossed!) and I would really appreciate the prayers for a fast, safe, easy delivery with no complications. Yes, I said fast and easy--because what expectant Mom wouldn't want that? :)
I hope you all are enjoying these last wonderful weeks of summer!

I will be praying, Jenna, for a fast healthy and wonderful (as wonderful as birth can ever be!) birth for you. I have been checking back at your blog for the last few weeks "just to see" And I will keep checking! How exciting!
