Much needed update!

I apologize for seemingly falling off of the planet.  Life has been insanely crazy and hectic since about July, we are ready for some calm, but don't see that coming in the near future as we are still awaiting for baby girl Luke to come.

With the start of a new school year and a very challenging group of students behavior wise this year I am surprised this baby has not come early from the stress!

We also were finally able to find and purchase our first home, and we are so happy and blessed to be in a house that we love and are slowly making into our own.  Daniel is very happy to have a place to do projects and has already worked on, and finished, redoing the baby's room so it is all ready for her to come.  We were able to close on the house on August 17th and start moving things in the next day, a big thanks to our families for helping in the chaos to get everything moved, especially because school was starting for me then at Monday.  Both our families have been very helpful in helping us to get things organized enough to function - and helping me out greatly since being 34 weeks pregnant and continuing to grow each week makes putting a house other and moving things around really difficult.

Baby update: We have no idea when this baby will decide to come.  I am 38 weeks and 2 days today and just hanging out - my students just know that there could be any day that I don't come to school and the baby could come now or in two weeks - we are on her clock.  My due date is September 25th, Daniel thinks that she will come on the 18th, my dad thinks the 20th.. I have no idea - but everything is ready for her to do so!

We hope everyone is doing well and will update as we can and are able.  Hopefully this baby will come on her own, if not, the doctor will induce on Oct. 2nd.    We are very excited to welcome this little one!

 Per request a growing photo - this is at 37 weeks 5 days (last sunday)

Here is a picture of the room and crib, we love how it turned out, the picture doesn't really do it justice - you have to see it in person to actually get a real feel for the color.  Walls are like milk chocolate, crib bedding is mainly green and brown paisley - love how it turned out.  There is also crown molding on the ceiling that Daniel and Conlee put up and looks wonderful and really completes the room.
