30 weeks…

Can it be? Is there a 3 in front of our weekly countdown?! All I can say is WOW!! The due date is almost literally around the corner! And if the weekly banner isn’t enough to let us know that, this pile of baby laundry right here does! 

BTW, how does something so little have so many clothes?! And so many toys and so many big pieces of furniture?! Lol. I think my ‘nesting’ phase hit a while back but now it’s in full swing! Nursery is slowly coming together and getting organized. I’m hoping it’ll all be done in the next week or so, then I feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief! I LOVE how it’s coming together and can’t wait to see it all done! 

We met our doula this week! Our hospital has the doula program (labor coaches) for free and both Laryen and I are really excited about it. I don’t know about you but I believe that sometimes people’s lives cross for reasons out of our control. There are probably atleast 20 doulas or so in the program. Our doula Penny is so sweet and guess what? She also went through infertility. She did 6 IVF’s, all unsuccessful. 30+ eggs, none took. It breaks my heart to hear her story. She was about to adopt when she miraculously got pregnant on her own. Her doctor even said it’s all because of God that she got pregnant. And then a few years later? She got pregnant again. Now she has a girl and a boy. Her IVF’s were almost 30 years ago so obviously a lot has changed with infertility research and programs but once again it’s another story. Another struggle that another couple went through. And I’m so happy that God let her be our doula so we could hear another story of why you should never give up on hope. I’m so happy we can share our story and the most important day of our life with her.
