Hannah’s Closet

Here are a few snapshots of the little space we’ve prepared for Hannah to sleep in and keep all her tiny baby things:

The pocket style doorway into her space is near our bed, in between the changing table and the big wardrobe where Ben and I keep our clothes.

Her Pack n Play fits just right on the left hand side as you enter. I made those hanging plush blocks out of her left-over quilt fabric. Gramma Shelley painted the lavender H that hangs on the wall, Gramma Deonne made the little cream blanket for Hannah, and Lolli helped us find the polka dot wall covering behind the bed. I can’t wait to see her quilt in here!

These drawers on the right hand side as you enter hold all of our desk/office items on the left side (since we have no space for a desk or filling cabinet), and the right side drawers hold Hannah’s clothes and blankets and such. All her little socks and hair bows, bibs, etc. are in the white shoe holder on the entrance wall (you can see it on the left here).

Hannah’s space is such a sweet part of our less than 600 sq. feet! We’d like to thank everyone who was a part of putting this little closet together. Our little girl has been well provided for. Thank you Lord for your loving-kindness, and this new adventure of parenthood!

Full Term!

Our Hannah’s lungs are now fully mature, and her little body would adjust just fine to life outside her mommy as of today according to medical estimations! We’ve experienced a few of the tell-tale signs that my body is preparing to give birth, so now we wait and see if this little girl will come early, wait the full 3 weeks until her due date, or maybe even longer.

Life will go on for Ben especially in between now and then… MP will have a Fall Retreat Camp Out just for boys on October 9th and 10th, he’s running an After School Program every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon; throw in a Thursday night and Saturday morning program, and lots of email, phone communication, and meetings with volunteers and many other “behind the scenes” responsiblities! It’s amazing to see God giving Ben everything he needs to walk in the power of His Spirit as he is faithful to obey. We trust that God will take care of the details of ministry responsibilities when Ben needs to take his girls to Scott & White’s Labor and Delivery wing sometime soon : )

I’m trying not to push myself to hard physically while still wrapping up the last of the errands that need to be run and such. (I’ll post pictures of her closet/ sleeping spot soon!) Ben and I can’t help but dream about what it will be like to hold this tiny person that God has entrusted to us!

I’m so looking forward to this next “Mommy Phase” of my life! God is already showing me pieces of the intentions He has for me in ministry as a mom. What a new adventure!

So come on out when you’re ready Baby Hannah! There are so many of us who are ready to see your face and snuggle you up! : )

36 weeks

Today I put in my first load of laundry with baby clothes and sheets in! (I know all you experienced moms are rolling your eyes at me, because this is but the first of millions that await me… but just let me be excited! ) : )

According to BabyCenter.com, we will be officially “full term” in 7 days! I can’t believe we’re so close to meeting our little girl…

Here is Hannah’s baby bump at 36 weeks:

Penny poses, even when I’m not planning to photograph her specifically… she’s just used to smiling for the camera! With how many pics I take of my puppy, I’m sure the number of photos we have of Baby Hannah will rival any movie star!

Here’s a closer look at some of the fabric prints. I’m using the same fabrics to make a little mobile to hang above her “Pack n Play.”  Too much fun!

Baby Shower for Hannah!

Sunday afternoon was such a blessing to me as a brand new mommy!! Some of my friends put lots of love and effort into gathering others to celebrate our new baby girl alongside me. :  ) Thank you so much to each of you who contributed time, resources, love, creativity, prayers, advice, and your company!!

Check out these awesome cakes!! The one on the left was made by the lovely and talented Tiffany P, who patterned the icing decor after one of the quilt blocks I am putting together for Hannah’s quilt! Carrot cake… mmmm!

The one on the right was made by the lovely and talented Kathy W, who used diapers, blankets, hair bows, and baby socks to create a sweet diaper cake for Hannah to use for the months to come! What a creative and practical idea!

8 Months Pregnant!

I can’t believe I’ve been growing this little girl for 8 whole months! We didn’t get to the belly pic today, but I promise to post one in the next few days.

Penny and Hannah were cracking me up tonight as they “fought” over the top of my belly! Penny decided she had found a good pillow, and Hannah kept kicking her! These girls are going to have to learn to SHARE…
