Oh the joy of nesting. I never thought I'd get to nest. Have a nursery.
Any of it.
And here we are with a finished nursery. It's simply such a
gift. Everyday I am filled with gratitude. Whenever I have some extra
moments (sometimes in the middle of the night when I've have to
go-again, I detour to her room), you'll find me in the nursery, looking
at all of Monika's books from so many people who love her, or just
sitting in the rocking chair-taking it all in and thanking God for this
gift of new life. Here are some pictures of what her new place outside of my uterus will look like.

 |
| crib-thank you Martinson parents, many baskets filled with more books, toys, and stuffed animals and of course Marlon's floor teddy bear |
 |
| book ledges- thank you Ikea & Angie for the idea, so one day Monika can walk up & pick out her books |
 |
| dresser-thank you Maberry parents, Stevie drawing & Ali's sister's drawing called "worth the wait" |
Here we are Tuesday April 30, 2013, at 34 weeks pregnant, Monika is the weight of a cantaloupe 4.75lbs and about 18 inches long.

| I'm in shorts & a tank for the first time in KCMO, thank you it was 80 today, but Thursday don't you worry it will be 35 again. I *love living back in the Midwest. *sarcasm | | |

Last night we had our 5th and last birthing class at the hospital we are delivering. This is a picture of Todd from last week with the sympathy belly on . . .

Only a few more weeks, this is crazy. We are so excited. We are so looking forward to meeting Monika Marie Maberry!

Six weeks or less?! CRAZY! Also, can Todd please wear the sympathy belly and attempt to tie his shoes and paint his toenails?
LOVELY! Can't wait to see it in person.
