As of 1/29/07, we are 37 weeks pregnant!! It's amazing to think of everything that has passed over the course of these last 9 months. We are so blessed as we think about all of the love and support we've gotten from friends and family.It's also wonderful to look back on all that we've been able to do in our last year as "just the two of us."

It's been a busy year and we're so thankful that we were able to see so many friends and visit with so many loved ones as the "big day" approaches!
As we reminisce, it is necessary to look forward as well.
We are going to weekly doctor appointments now, and we are certain that prayers are constantly being answered as the reports continue to be good. The doctor has been pleased with how Liz is feeling and how the baby is progressing. We've been trying to guess when this little one will arrive and so far the doctor has warned us that first time moms often deliver late. (why then do we keep hearing stories about women who delivered a week early or 10 days ahead of schedule!?) ;) As far as we can tell, we're sticking to the due date originally estimated as February 19, 2007. Obviously it's in God's hands and we're confident that He has a plan for us and our new family. Our on-going prayer request is for continued good health for mom and baby. The next MD visit is on Wednesday, January 31--next update to come then!!
