2.5 weeks to go

2.5 weeks to go and we're getting to know Brim better with every day as we can see each tiny movement with the ever-shrinking living space for him/her.

Honestly, it's been hard to sit down and write an update because life has been a little crazy. We've been busy with people in town helping us to get ready for the baby. The goal for October was to get ready for the fast-approaching Brim.  And, knock on wood, we're about there! Stroller, crib, car seat, and plenty of cute things to boot.  I am feeling pretty good aside from my feet. They swell up to clubs by the end of the work week. Brian is still plugging along in the second cycle of chemo. We're still on "Plan A."  The effects are up and down, but he's staying as active and positive as he can. The support from others certainly helps. There is no way we could have been as ready for Brim as we are now without friends and family coming in from all over. We're grateful for all of the love that folks are sending in so many ways.

Brim's nursery in progress

Our friends call a due date more of a "due period" so we're mentally preparing for the baby to come any day, taking time to appreciate the moments we have now, but also with major anticipation to invite Brim into the world. The hospital bag is packed...
