Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone!!   

We were kind of hoping for our own lil Easter bunny today, but it appears that will not be the case.
It would seem that she is still snug as a bug...

There isn't too much intentional timing that goes into a pregnancy, but boy the timing has been perfect this week. Having Spring Break two weeks before our due date has been amazing. I was able to be super productive, get some work done, take naps and spend quality time with J all before Graycen's arrival. Woo-Hoo.

Spring Break started like so... 

Monday

And finished like so... 

Friday

J took the day off on Friday and we had a "date day." We discovered a BBQ place in Alexandria that serves Sundrop & Cheerwine in glass bottles-Holla!! We then ventured into the city. The two museums that did not seem to have bus loads of children outside were the National Gallery of Art and the Native American Smithsonian. Shockingly neither of us have been to those museums before. We did some meandering around both of them. I guess we could say we feel cultured now... We also saw a movie (happens on average once a year,) Olympus Has Fallen, which was so good. Highly recommend it.

The only negative about having so much time to be productive is now we have a super clean house, I am caught up on thank you notes, we have cleaned out the DVR, I finished reading my birthing books, laundry is all caught up...now we are just sitting and waiting... I can't complain because it is exactly where I wanted to be when she does make her appearance, stress free. In fact, the scripture on my 37 week board was all because I haven't been vocal enough about how blessed we have been with this pregnancy. It has been so easy that I feel guilty about it. When people ask how I am feeling- I feel like I have to find something to complain about because I have friends who have had such rough pregnancies. I mean, sure, I have to pee every 10 minutes, I have sleepless nights, and sitting through that 2 hour movie was pretty stink'in uncomfortable, but this is the part where those who have had "typical" pregnancies are cursing me.
But seriously, I have not even begun to offer enough praise and gratitude for God's work in the creation and development of this little girl. We could not have requested a better experience over these past 9 months. Is it wrong that I am a little nervous that since the pregnancy has been so easy, the labor is going to make up for the ease of the past 9 months?? What am I saying-of course it is wrong for me to doubt God's work. But am I doubting or am I just being realistic?? Just a glimpse into one of the ways I fall short in faith. Regardless, we continue to pray for the health and strength of this little one and that when she and God are ready, we too will be ready to welcome her. No sooner, no later.   :-)

Have I mentioned I am hoping to do an all natural delivery...
