Big Feet, Bigger Belly, Biggest Blessing Ever!

From the title you can tell, I am feeling much more pregnant these days.  I was happy to make it through August so I am now just waiting for the weather to cool off.;)  I went to put on a pair of flats today and I could not squeeze my foot into them for the life of me. Looks like I will be wearing flip flops for a while.  I now understand those people that wear socks with their sandals.  My bigger belly is best described as a basketball under by shirt.  Makes it very hard to get up, roll over, sit down and breath but over all things are great! If I could just sleep standing up.  The biggest blessing I have ever dreamt of is well on her way into our lives.  I get very emotional these days dreaming of what it is going to be like holding her in my arms.  I also get anxious for that day but not yet....You hear that Emery, you still have some cooking to do and well your nursery is not perfect yet so just hold on a few weeks. 
A few weeks ago, we had a wonderful shower in Plano. Hosted at the house of Lea Blair, given by her daughter Lauren White and my college friends Sarah Rice, Kiley White and Amy Burch.I absolutely love you ladies!  Lea is a dear friend of my mothers who once upon a time hosted a shower for my mom when she was pregnant with me.  Lea affectionately calls me "boggie bear"  which I have no idea why but I love it.  We had a wonderful weekend in the DFW area, everyone was so hospitable and the shower just made me feel
so loved. Thank you all for coming and your generosity.
News this week on baby is that she is breech but the doctor thinks she can still turn. I am 35 weeks , fluid levels are good and baby size is good as well meaning she has the ability to turn if she chooses. I am really praying for that! I am going to try some pelvic tilts at home to see if that might work. I am also giving her motherly pep talks and speeches daily about her options and what I am needing her to do for me.After all I am her mom!
