Club foot???

So I wanted to share my latest issue with you. After many months of no swelling, I have been shocked to find that my right foot is now starting to swell by the end of the day. Yesterday I swear I thought I had a club foot! I felt something like this:

My fingers also occasionally look like hotdogs, so that's lovely! I'm afraid that pretty soon I wont be able to wear my wedding rings at all....which I think I'm still in denial over because I still fiercely shove them on every day. I am hoping and praying that the swelling doesn't get too bad and doesn't spread any further. Fortunately, after I go home and lay down for a while, the swelling subsides.
I suppose I should be thankful that instead of dealing with this stuff for months and months, it's just now happening at the very end. However, I was really hoping I'd be lucky until the end. :(
Sadly enough I even cried a little bit over this to Jeffrey yesterday......stupid hormones. Thank God I've got a wonderful, patient husband to deal with my wacky emotions! He's been so supportive and loving to me throughout this pregnancy and I know I couldn't have done it without him.

Anyways, that's all for now!

Here's to hot dog fingers and toes!

And the countdown begins....

Well here we are in blog space...I never thought I'd start one of these but I figured now is a great time to have one. We are officially in the last stretch of this pregnancy, and as each day passes, our anxiety grows. It is so hard to believe that in a little over 7 weeks we will be blessed with a beautiful baby boy! Are we ready?? Ready for baby...yes. Ready for delivery? NO! I keep asking if there's someway he can just be removed from me while I skip the whole labor thing. People keep telling me no...but I'm certain there's someone out there who knows something I don't. :) Jeffrey says he'll deliver the baby himself for me...and as soon as I figure out how to make that happen I'll gladly hand over the duties to him. In all seriousness though, I know I'll be ready when the time comes...I just can't help but to fear the unknown at this point.

I think Bryson is very much enjoying his little home at the moment. We have discovered that he is quite the flexible one. While attempting to have our 3D ultrasound done, we were surprised to find him with one foot resting on his head and the other stretched out in the other direction as if he were a gymnast warming up before the Olympics! He apparently finds this very comfortable, as he would not move to have his picture taken. He must take after Jeffrey, as those of you who know me know that I can't even touch my toes. I enjoy feeling him doing his little stretching exercises...most of the time that is. Some times he gets a little violent in there but I guess I'd get violent too if I were contained in such tight quarters!

Anyways, at this point there's not much else to tell. We've gotten the nursery set up and all it needs is some baby gear to fill it up. We've also been cleaning the house like never before and I have been organizing and rearranging things like crazy. Wait, scratch that, I have been forcing my poor husband to rearrange things. I am in my nesting stage BIG TIME and am having to occupy my time with other things around the house until I get some baby stuff to organize and set up. Here are some pics of our nursery:

In a nutshell, we are so anxious to meet our little miracle! Every day I think we continue to be amazed at the fact that there is a child growing inside of me. I'm so thankful God has blessed us with this baby and this whole experience! It is truly miraculous! Jeffrey and I both will keep you as updated as possible during the coming weeks. Thanks to everyone for your love and continued support. We know this child will be blessed with wonderful family and friends and we couldn't be more grateful!

Love y'all,

Jennifer

Luuuke...I am your faaatheerrr!

Wow! I'm about to be a father!!!!! Don't get me wrong, I am one excited dude. But, I am also one nervous dude. Lately, I've learned a lot about what being a dad really means and what the purpose of a dad is. Boy, do I have a lot to learn!! My prayer is that God will show me how to be the dad He calls me to be. Who better to guide me than my heavenly father? The little dude will be here in no time. Pray for us.

Jennifer is handling pregnancy like a champ! She's had rough spots here and there but she is doing very well. God picked the perfect mother for Mr. Bryson Alexander.

Dirty diapers,
Jeffrey
