just a little baby update at 38 weeks…
August 13, 2008

so for all of you that are wondering how the baby and I are doing. we are doing great. Emmaus’ room is finally done, we’ve registered at the hospital, we are meeting with debbie perry, our doula (our birthing coach of sorts), and the bags are packed. now we wait. it feels like there is no more possible room for her in my belly and she’s takin a liking to the reclining posistion as she sticks her feet in my side while sticking her butt up towards my ribs. she has also been getting cases of the hiccups right as i’m going to bed. she also has been practicing her dance moves virtually everytime i walk into the prayer room or sit at the computer with it playing in the background. this whole process has been amazing and while it’s been great fun having a person living in me and i’m truly going to miss that feeling, i’m ready for her to come. we both are, steve’s already planning matching dc united outfits for hometown soccer games:) well…we’ll keep you posted on arrival status.- amanda

I can hardly wait to hear that Emmaus is on her way into the world and that she’s actually HERE! I had a wonderful chat on the phone with Steven yesterday… will talk to you both very soon when I get home next week… if not before.
Love you, Mom

I love you Amanda! I am praying for you and know the praises of God’s faithfulness will resound on her birthday (day of her birth)! Wow! I am beaming with excitement for you all the way on the coast. I am sure your house is radiant with joy for her arrival! Also, I have a little package to send your way :)
