Final Days

  With just 10 days until Tobias' due date, we have crossed a lot off of our To-Do list. This past Friday was my last full-time day of work, and my office really spoiled me. It's been nearly 3.5 years since I started at RemitDATA, and I don't think it has fully hit me that I will not be going into the office anymore. We have everything packed for the birthing center, and phone numbers plugged in for Uncle Andy to send updates. I deep cleaned our house today...just finishing that makes me feel so much better...the nursery is complete, car has been inspected and cleaned, maternity photos taken, reorganized our guest room, chosen our pediatrician (finally!), and filled up our social calendar for the next week and a half ;) We have been so blessed with a great pregnancy, and I cannot believe we're down to the last couple of weeks. Whenever I call anyone, I feel like my first words need to be, "Hi, I'm not in labor." Matt has been encouraging Toby every night to make his debut next Wednesday, the day after Aunt Niki arrives! We shall see...

We are so thankful for all the Lord has done to help prepare us for this new life. I had this verse printed and framed for Toby's room to be reminded of God's greatness. "Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother's womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things." Ecclesiastes 11:5
