About time

So it is about time to post some belly pics (or maybe just one- I don't know.) Many friends have asked and I have avoided long enough. Time is flying by. I feel like my life is revolving around time right now, which I don't like. I am not a huge fan of time. I feel like I can't keep up with it. I have about a month now until our little Norah comes. We move out of our first Provo apartment in two weeks and will move up to my parents for the two weeks before Norah is born. Shortly after we will then make our trek across the country to Ohio. I can't believe it has been eight months already and it is time to open our arms and life to a little addition to our family. We are so excited and feel so blessed to have this huge life-change. I feel a huge mixture of emotions: excitement, gratitude, apprehension, love and sheer joy. Her kicks remind me of the blessing she will be in our lives and also the huge responsibility that will accompany her presence. I'm so grateful for the examples I have around me of those who are parents and have taken this leap of faith. I have good friends, siblings and parents who have forged the way, and from whom I can learn. Thank you to all those of whom I'm talking about- you know who you are. I love you. So without anymore avoiding: belly pics. Here I am at 34 weeks.

Congrats, again, on the baby. It will be weird at the MTC without either of you there-- like the end of an era-- but it's exciting for you to be on to grad school. I'll think of you two (and Brant) every time I watch the Buckeyes play.

Thanks for posting those. You are very cute... pregnant or not. I'm so excited we'll be a lot closer to each other once you guys move out here! I sent you and Brian invitations to our blog to make you homesick for Ohio. :)

You shouldn't avoid belly pictures. They are always so cute. You look great, even if you don't feel it. It is hard to feel wonderful at 34 weeks and the weeks following, but know that you look beautiful. I am so excited for you. I am excited for little Norah to enter the world.

Babies are so pure, so innocent. As I held Baby Norah I felt that amazing sweetness and peace that comes with pure innocence. She is beautiful. We are missing you all but look forward to Christmas!
