Happy Birthday Keith

Keith turned 24 on Saturday so all the family headed out to the park for an alfresco lunch/ birthday bash. Here are a few pics from the afternoon....

Up Date

All right I know I'm due for a little up date especially for my friends and family who haven't seen or heard from me in a while.
I am doing very well considering that I have about two weeks left before my due date. My midwife appointments are every week now and currently I have dilated 1 centimeter and well that's about it. I was a little discouraged but my sister-in-law made it clear to me I'm really doing well and I'm progressing and I have 1 down 9 more to go! Thanks for the encouragement Amy.
I had a church shower last sunday that was very special. We had a time of scripture reading and prayer for baby riley. Right now I'm just trying to enjoy myself and take things as they come. I am learning to be still and just relax and not obsess about the unknown. How am I putting this into practice? Tomorrow pedicure 1 p.m. Scott and I plan on spending a good portion of our weekend organizing and cleaning our apartment ...till it shines like the top of the chrysler building! This of course is a relief for me as I am starting to get irritated by all the dust.

Please call if you would like to know more of the nitty gritty emotional stuff or if you would like to be notified when the big day arrives. Your prayers are always coveted and drop me an email to let me know how you are doing if you can. I love you all. I may not be writing on my blog much more...just to warn you. Peace to you all. Aimee

Baby Showers Bring May Flowers

Here are some pictures of the beautiful baby shower my sisters-in-law threw for me. What a wonderful day filled with words of wisdom, encouragement, laughter, good food, lovely gifts, and wonderful friends. Thank you all for making this time so very special for me. I was truly blessed!
