39 Weeks - Happy Mother's Day!

Today we celebrated Mother's Day, just the three of us and I realized on my way to church that this is going to be the last day Tate, Ava and I will spend with just the 3 of us. In just 3 short days from now, we will be welcoming our new little Brooklyn into this world and our family will be growing by 1 more. It still amazes me when I think about all of the wonderful changes headed our way with her arrival.

Ava has been such an amazing blessing to our family and I can only imagine what the new little peanut will add to our wonderful little life together. While in church today, we noticed a little 3 month old baby behind us and Ava became captivated by her. She watched her intently as the baby was fed a bottle and then cuddled with her mom. She absolutely adores babies and I know she is going to be a wonderful big sister.

As for me, my stomach is as big as they come right now. :) Brooklyn is definitely running out of room in my tummy as she fills it up from my hips to the top of my ribs. She is still very active and gets the hiccups often. :) I cannot wait to see what she looks like and to hold her in my arms for the very first time. It is going to be such an amazing experience for all of us. I can't wait to let Ava hold her baby sister and watch as she checks her out from head to toe.

I hope all of you mothers out there had a wonderful day today, I know I sure did. :)
