Well, I was finally getting around to posting some pictures of our last few weeks today, but I didn't get far...I thought I would be able to come back to it tonight, but now it appears we may be having a baby tonight!

I thought my water broke a couple of hours ago, but really wasn't sure. So I went on to the Ladies Craft Night at a gal in my Sunday School's house, I didn't want to call & say, "Hey I MIGHT be in labor, so I can't come..." and then not be in labor! I prayed on the way that God would give me a clear sign one way or the other if I was in labor...well, He presented me with the steepest driveway I have ever seen at the gal's house...after walking up the driveway, I felt some more fluid & so I was pretty certain my water had indeed broken...so I went in to say hello (and had a snack) and then came home...I called Jeff on the way to tell him I was pretty sure (he knew it was a possibility when I left) & to call the folks...

And so here we are, I've just packed a bag & we are getting ready to head out to the hospital...please pray for us & the baby! I've only had a few contractions so far & normally my labor's seem to progress a bit faster...I will keep you all posted!

And here are the photos I had started to upload today, one of the snow day & several of my fabulous baby shower thrown by my dear friend Jessica & several other gals from my church! I had uploaded several more, but kept getting an error, so this is it for now...

Hope to have more news to post soon! Much love to everyone!

PS: Please pray also for Jeff's parents who came over to stay with our kids & for Jack, Sophie & Darcy to have a great night & be very good for them tomorrow! We tried moving Darcy to the big girl bed last night & it was a DISASTER, all she wanted to do was get out & play, so she ended up back in her crib...but somehow Jeff got her to sleep in it tonight...maybe she knew she was going to be a big sister in the morning!

I know that I have been "MIA" regarding blogging for the past few weeks...I don't know how the time has flown by! The last few weeks have contained a whole host of blog-worthy events...from weather anomalies (snow & spring in one week!), to beautiful baby showers, to our first broken bone in one of our children...and lots of fun, silly, crazy times in-between...and I WILL tell you about all of those things and, of course, share pictures...just not tonight! I am weary & need to get my puffy feet into bed!
So, I'll talk to you soon...thanks for your patience!
