Best Moment this week: I made it to FULL TERM! Such a praise!! Seven weeks ago we didn't know if we would make it this far. It's such a miracle!!! 

I thought I would do a list update. Since Jaxon could make his arrival any day I'm not sure I'm going to get everything on my list crossed off. And y'all know what...THAT'S OKAY! The important things right now for me are spending time with my family and enjoying these last few days as a family of three. These days will be the last that Bryson will be an only child and I don't want to consume myself with getting things done that can wait til' later.
