Preparation

The church body is our family here in Western, PA as we don't have family close by. And they continue to reach out & serve. We are so thankful for that. Today, Ethan is spending the day with a woman from our church so that I could get some much needed preparations done. Baby boy #2 (still nameless) is due in 35 days, and I am cooking meals for the freezer. We enjoyed about two weeks worth of meals from our church when Ethan was born, and I'm looking forward to that ministry again. But I also had prepared about 7 or 8 more dishes that I stock-piled in our freezer to last another week or so. I am doing the same thing again this time around.

I also need to get out all of the 0-3 month clothing and get that put away, which will involve Dan building shelving in Ethan's closet for his clothes. The new baby's clothes will go in the dresser next to the changing table (since I'll be changing his clothes much more often at first). And Ethan's clothes will be in his closet.

I've actually forced myself to nap the past few afternoons when Ethan naps, because at 35 weeks pregnant, I'm worn out by 2pm.

So thank you for the continued prayers and support as we draw nearer to delivery day and meeting our new little one.
