It really started to hit us this week that we have only 4 more weeks until our estimated due date! This has been such a wonderful and exciting time and we can't wait to meet out little one in just about a month.
Last weekend my sister in law, my mom, and my sister laura all threw Jordan and I a shower here in NC. It was wonderful. So many people showed up and were so generous to Jordan, me and the baby. Between our shower in Kansas and our shower in NC we have almost everything we need for little baby smith.
This past week we got our cradle all put together and ready, we put together baby's swing and seat and we got all of his/her diapers and clothes washed and ready. Things are really coming together!
With the announcement of my brother and sister-in-law (matt and erin's) expected little one next march, and another possible baby coming sometime later next year from another relative, baby smith is going to be the oldest in the next round of hopefully many babies on the Helms side! Man is mom gonna have her hands full next Christmas :).
Our next midwifes appointment is Thursday, where we have expectations of more positive updates and everything to be right on track. We keep praying for our little one every day that he or she is healthy, strong, and comes into this world as naturally and calmly and peacefully as possible. And we have every expectation that God will provide that for us and little baby smith!
