Wow, mid January is here! Hard to believe I started this blog a year ago and here I am in my last stages of pregnancy! Once again, I repeat myself in saying that this WHOLE entire experience has been nothing but a blessing! I give the Lord ALL the praise and glory for such a wonderful pregnancy. No worries almost 99% of the time! :) Now that I am down to the wire, I have to say a little bit of anxiety is working it's way in, only because I don't know what I am in for once I go into labor, but my trust is in the Lord so, I have to let go of that little anxiety and know God is in control and I will get through it.
I had a couple of Baby Showers that were such a blessing. Funny how when you feel like you really don't have a lot of friends, how many you really do have and are blessed to have them in your life. Especially when you move, not to far, but even so, they go the extra mile for you to make your shower special! I can't thank my sister-in-law Laurie, my sister Maria, and Roseanne enough for hosting wonderful showers and my friend Paula for helping out with both! Everyone that attended either of these are truly a blessing and I cherish each and every one of them.
I am officially done with work now and I'm really glad because I've been having lower back pain, a little bit of trouble sleeping (yeah I know, enjoy it now because soon I will be sleep deprived!) and my thumbs are killing me and the numbness in both hands are really bothering me! I pray that goes away soon! The baby has been moving SO much these last few days, I feel like there's a relay race going on in my tummy! HA! I guess I have a runner coming my way, hope I can keep up! :)
I cannot wait until our angel arrives! I am so exited to see what the Lord has blessed us with and am ready for creating memories with this child :) I can't wait to introduce "baby" to all my family and friends in the coming months too! This is going to be one of the biggest blesssings in my life and I so look forward to being the best Mommy I can be - that goes for Daddy too! It's so awesome to see Andy so excited for such a time as this!! He's going to be a great Dad! 
Once again, thank you for reading this, and for looking at my picture only since I'm sure you are all like, "Um c'mon Vick, stop being the camera hog and lets get some pictures of your baby on here! ":) I am so excited about getting pictures of baby"who" on here, believe me! So, this will be my last blog until baby arrives, deal? :)

My, My you look so sweet. May everything turn out great for all 3of you. It will be such an event and surprises galore cause that's how the babies like to do it. :) Can't wait to see the baby!
Vicki! Great blog and cute photos! Anxiety is natural. I remember seeing the childbirth film and saying "Oh NO, I can't do that. I know I'm strong, but I just can't do it!!!" Scott said: "Too late now!" In the end, I went into labor one morning and was in denial. I went and got my nails done and then drove to the bagel store. The contractions were getting stronger so I thought"Maybe I should go home and not drive" (DUH!) By the time Scott got home.(I told him don't rush) they were 3 minutes apart and my water broke in the back seat of the car on the way to the doctor's office! Very funny!
In the end, if you remain calm and do that "silly" breathing,it really helps. I think I am in the minority with this. Many women scream epidural and give me drugs!!! I had 2 kids natural child birth BUT I had a short labor (4-6 hours). Remember as the pain gets worse, you are getting closer to the end. Bring music CDs and tell your husband NOT to talk to you during contractions. (Do have him do ice chips.) In the end,you'll do fine no matter what choice you make about breathing, medication, etc. and you will forget the next day that you were even pregnant! God's little way of tricking us!!! Best wishes! Stay well!
Love, Nancy (Meyer)
P.S. Bet that baby will come out wearing bronzer and lip gloss!
Hi Girl! You look so cute. I've enjoyed your blogs. I'm glad that everything is going well for you and Andy and baby (makes three :)). I wish you all the happiness that God can give your growing family. Take care of yourself and can't wait to see the baby.
Love ya!
