The Bare baby belly!





So I debated whether or not to put bare belly pictures on the blog, but I decided it is far to amazing to ignore. The fact that a child is growing in my stomach seems so impossible, yet it is truth. Sometimes I look at my stomach and feel it to try and figure out what position the baby is in (my midwife has taught me a little about this). It is all curled up in a ball and my stomach seems far to small to have a child inside of it. That thought is pretty amazing because I definitly am large and most people whether I know them or not don't fail to tell me that fact. I love it! With all that said, I just can't say how thankful I am to God for this child and its health. He/she is extremely active and often contorts my stmach in all kinds of shapes that make me laugh. If I push on my stomach he/she pushes back. And I can often grab ahold of a foot as it is pushing on my stomach making a bulge that I can physically grab and move around. It is officially 2 weeks until my due date. Yeah! We are excited and anxious to meet this beautiful new child. Isaac is excited as well and gives the baby kisses and hugs every day. He now tells people the baby is coming out soon, which is really cute.

36 Weeks and Counting


So here is the latest baby belly picture. I am at 36 weeks (for those who don't know there are 40 weeks in total) and counting. As you can see this baby is taking over. We are getting REALLY excited to meet the new baby Pratt and learn whether it is a boy or girl, what he/she will look like and what the beautiful baby will be like in general. Isaac asks every day when the baby is going to come out. He thinks the baby will come out my feet, Craig and I have no idea where he got that idea but it is really cute. Isaac is so excited for the baby, we just pray that he will stay excited when the baby comes home and he realizes he has to share his mom and dad. And since we are sharing prayer requests we are praying that this new baby will be a good sleeper. Isaac has always been a challenge to get to sleep so it would be a huge blessing to have this new baby accept that sleep is good! Thanks for all your love and support. We will keep you updated about the new baby.
P.S. The due date for the baby is February 13th!
