I'm not sure but this may be the first official pregnancy picture with baby 7!
So who wants the baby Scoop?
I am beginning to nest. I have passed the 34 week mark and am feeling
countdown-ish. So I am. Counting down, that is, until the day (or night) arrives
when we make this little one's acquaintance.
I can hardly wait!!!
This pregnancy has been "boringly normal" which is the best thing a woman can
hear from her doctor or midwife.
I have settled on a couple of dear midwives near to us who have been working together
for 25 years or so. I am currently hoping to deliver baby at home on Marvel Hill
(I have hot water again since last week - Yippee!!)
but they also have a comfortable little birth center we can drive to if we so choose at the
last moment. I am very thankful for God's provision in these women, and look forward to
seeing tiny 7's story unfold at the end of this chapter.
One thing especially different about this pregnancy is that I have been feeling all baby's
limb movement at the front of my belly. It's been fun to feel more feet and elbows, but I
can't make out exactly what's what. My midwife thinks head is down which is all I was really
wanting to be reassured of!
Other than that, I am frantic trying to finish Bryce's baby scrapbook and Christmas stocking
as well as a few things I have personally put my hand to creating just for this new little person I love.
Between school and chores and life, 6 more weeks doesn't seem like very much time to wrap up
the details!
Oh yeah. Then there's the name conundrum. I'm open to any and all suggestions for either gender.
Preferably your favorites, but then, AJ has already contributed Khubilai Khan.
And Hans Solo (he is helpful like that).
So really, anything is fair game at this point! HA!
More than anything I would be blessed to have your prayers for my time of labor and delivery.
I would be so grateful to go into it with peace and grace - no fear or anxiety.
I know I can count on you my precious friends!
I love you much,
~Me

Hooray for a pic! You look wonderfully gorgeous, Analene. Boringly normal is music to my ears! Sounds like things are coming together even though the time will go quickly. How fun, the first Marvel Hill baby! If you want to belly map your baby, check out spinningbabies.com. Its a neat site to help figure out your babys position.
Love to all there,

Good boy names are always harder for me!
You do look great. Thanks for posting a photo of you, I notice that you are not so often in front of the camera.
And for names, there is a growing trend around here for the name Siena. ;)
Momma Bug you look the picture of health! Young, beautiful, pregnant and healthy!!
Been praying for your peace in these last weeks.
Would you mind emailing me at CinCapri@iowatelecom.net. I have something to ask you and I can't remember if I already have your email or not.

Well Ladies, you've done it again - gave me a little bit of new fodder for thought.
I love some of your suggestions, though there aren't many I haven't already considered. They all look so much better when you write them down though!
