Baker Shower

Okay I promise this is our last shower. We are seriously floored by how many people have honored us with their time, gifts and love. Nathan's 4th grade class hosted a baby shower for us this past Friday afternoon. The kids put together a book called "Babies are Great because . . . " and each filled a page with their wisdom and art work. The parents generously bought us a week's worth of gourmet meals to be delivered to our house after the baby is born! We listened to the kids share their predictions for names (some not too far off), the due date and ate yummy cupcakes.

Thanks to Nancy and Julie for putting this celebration together!

I came about fifteen minutes early and was able to see Nathan teach a bit. It was really fun to see him in his element . . . working with the kids, encouraging each response and pulling out great and thoughtful ideas from them on a Friday afternoon. . . I'm not a teacher, but I would imagine that's a small miracle. I also wanted to share that Nathan has been approved to take off two weeks once the baby is born to be at home. He also has a week off in February for midwinter break so that really means he will have three weeks! I am so excited for this time we will have as a new family! Baker has been so incredibly supportive to us and we are so thankful for this; what a gift!

Not too much else is new on the baby front. Having more Braxton Hicks contractions but nothing too serious. Nathan and I are enjoying a quiet weekend . . . some time with friends . . . and wait with excitement for my body to give me the cue.

Thanks to each of you for your continued prayer for us and baby Nordlund!
