Today we had the day off to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I spent the day catching up on some sleep and organizing for baby. I also did a lot of thinking. I thought about starting a countdown to my due date, but then realized there's a very good possibility that Bradyn won't actually arrive on or near the 28th. He could come before, which I'm wishing for, or he could come 10 days later. In which case, it could actually be 22 days until I greet this little squirt who has now made me feel as if my organs are mangled up inside. Why make myself even more frustrated with a countdown that lasts longer than expected? So from this day forward, I'm going to think my due date is 4 weeks away and be pleasantly surprised.
As I sit here thinking about when he will arrive, I also keep thinking about what will he look like. Darren made the comment the other day that he hopes Bradyn has my eyes, but not my feet because he hates my toes. My only flaw, haha! We both agreed he will be tall and have blonde hair, chubby cheeks, and he will most definitely enjoy eating dirt like his momma and daddy did. However, I am not going to test this theory because I have no potted plants in the house for him to get into like our parents did. We both pray that the good Lord brings him into the world healthy and strong.
Here are some more pictures for your viewing pleasure- not posted to facebook. They were taken by Jacob Elliott, soon to be famous maternity photographer. His son is in my class. First photo shoot he's ever done and he has mad skills!
