Come Monday...Ella on the way!!!

Our baby girl, Ella Joy, is one day away from arriving and Megan and I could not be more excited! The doctor says we are completely ready for her to come, so we have scheduled to have her tomorrow...if she doesn't come before then (like today...that would be cool)!

Here's what I always say: Are we ready for this? YES. Are we prepared? Heck no. I'm not sure how you could prepare for what is about to happen but we are so excited to begin this journey and are ready to start learning how to be parents. I'm sure it will be much harder than raising our two cats and dog (hehe)...but way more rewarding at the same time!

Megan has me doing all sorts of household chores as she's in full-nesting mode at this point. It's been fun (sortof) and I think the house is finally ready for our daughter!

We thank all of you who have supported us with incredible gifts, words of encouragement and prayers during the past weeks and months. They have not gone unnoticed and we appreciate them greatly!

We'll keep you posted!

Nervous but excited,

Gabe

36 Weeks!!!

I have only 4 weeks left to go! I found out that my Dad will go back to Africa on June 5th and could possibly be gone for 3 months! We need little Ella to come a little early so Grandpa can be here for the birth!!!

We have 16 1/2 days left of school. I am trying not to take off so that I save my days for next year. TAKS tests are over so work has settled down. The students are very much ready to be out for the summer.

Gabe and I walked the mall on Sunday shopping for new clothes for my sweet hubby. We walked for over 2 hours! When we came home from the mall I had Braxton Hicks contractions every 3 minutes for over an hour. I guess I can not keep going like I used to.
