Colossians 1:11 "strengthened with every power, in accord with his glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy"
God, grant me endurance and patience as I await the arrival of my precious "Little Miss" (11 days till her due date).
Amen

A Season of Gratitude
As Thanksgiving approaches I have a lot to be thankful for and am going to just quickly list some of them below.
1. My husband who has been especially supportive throughout this pregnancy.
2. A healthy pregnancy! I have been blessed to have no health complications during this pregnancy and I thank God for that fact.
3. My daughter, she isn't even born yet, but she has taught me patience and unconditional love already.
4. My family (and Dave's) who have done so much to help us prepare for the next stage of our life, parenthood.
5. Our friends who have prayed for us, helped us put together furniture, hosted baby showers, and so much more.
6. My job, in this economy I am blessed to have a job and especially one I find so fulfilling.
There is so much more, but right now I'm tired and must get some sleep. As Thanksgiving approaches I invite you to think about the many blessings in your life.
(3 weeks and 1 day until the due date of Little Miss)

Showered in Love
Our family is truly blessed and our daughter greatly loved as there were 4 baby showers hosted in her honor.
The first baby shower was on October 20th in Scott City and was attended by people in my dad and stepmom's family as well as people from my grandma's church. She received a lot of clothes, blankets, toys, and more. My stepmom organized the shower and served ice cream cake-pictured below.
The final shower was Sunday November 4th and was hosted by a committee (Mrs. Kramer, Anne, Liz, & Susan) and attended by my mom's family and friends. I was also blessed that my friend Sarah, who moved to Texas in April, was able to Skype and join us at the shower. That was an AWESOME surprise.
So after 4 showers she has a packed armoire of clothes.

The second shower was on October 27th at Dave's parents house. His sisters and mom organized a fun shower that included onesie and bib decorating. She received a convertible car seat, pack n'play, and of course more clothes among other gifts. Each guest also brought our daughter a book so she has quite a library.
On Sunday October 28th a shower was hosted by the Moenigmann family. It was a small and intimate gathering, but a lot of fun and our daughter was still VERY well spoiled.

And yes Dave and I have bought some things for our own child. We bought the mattress for her crib, the infant car seat, and as her mother I needed her to have Billikens' clothes for THIS season (Anne & Susan got her some for next year).
Overall, I know that God has blessed us with wonderful family and friends who love our daughter and have provided for many of her needs!
