It is hard to believe that we are only 5 weeks away (or less if Baby Beck surprises us!). Week 35 includes more swelling, back aches, fatigue, and difficulty getting out of chairs. It also involves hard kicks and lots of baby movement! We are finalizing the details for Baby Beck's arrival including picking out desired names. Our birthing classes are over and we have finalized our birth plan/wishes to share with the hospital staff. Dawn is starting to begin the mourning process of not having Baby Beck inside of her while also anxiously anticipating holding Baby Beck on the outside. We had a great prayer session with our friends over the weekend and feel peace knowing that God has continued to be faithful throughout this process.
We understand that a lot of change lies ahead but we feel as prepared as we are going to be for the changes. Each day we change our thoughts about whether Baby Beck is a boy or girl, which our friends start predicting their thoughts. This will be the best surprise we have ever experienced! In the meantime, we pray for cooler temperatures and that our minds will be more calm as we take things one day at a time.
