Coming to an end

We are almost at the 37 week mark for this pregnancy...crazy right?! This past wednesday we had a doctor's appointment and sonogram. Everything looked great! Aiden is measuring two weeks ahead like he has this whole pregnancy.

Measurements:
- Femur bone: 39 weeks and 6 days
- Head: 39 weeks and 6 days
- Stomach: 37 weeks and 6 days
- Weight: 7lb 12 oz [give or take a lb]

I cannot believe how fast time has flown this year. In just 2 short weeks {or less} we will be holding our precious little boy. It seems so unreal to me. My whole life all I ever really wanted to do was be a mommy. My favorite game to play, well into early teens, was house with my dolls. Everyone tells me that there is no greater gift than a child and I can say without having met ours yet that I definitely agree.

I am awaiting every day...hoping and praying it is the day we get to meet Aiden John.

Showers

This past weekend we were so incredibly blessed by 2 wonderful baby showers! The first one was hosted by my sister-in-law, mother-in-law and a family friend at the church Matt grew up attending. We were overwhelmed with love, support and wonderful gifts for our sweet baby boy.

Here is a picture of one of the adorable tables at our shower!

Sunday afternoon we had a shower at my home church-and the church we will be attending when we move to Wichita in May. It was encouraging to know there are so many people out there praying for our son and for a safe delivery. [I'm actually starting to get a little nervous for labor and delivery now that it is less than 4 weeks away] This is the only picture I have on my camera from that shower.

We are getting so anxious to meet Aiden! Time has flown by...our induction date in 4 weeks from tomorrow. He could decide to enter the world at anytime really and boy am I ready. I have loved being pregnant for the most part but the last couple weeks have by far been the most unpleasant. I'm trying to  remember that all the aches and pains are worth delivering a healthy baby boy! Hopefully he'll make his appearance soon!
