Getting Ready for Sophie!

Has it really been 16 weeks since I've updated my blog? Let's see...where to start?
Well, first of all, the girls and I are at home for summer vacation. Yay! This school year was a bit trying at times, and I'm sure quite a bit of it had to do with pregnancy hormones. So, needless to say I am thankful to be home and enjoying time with the girls before their new baby sister comes along.In preparation for Sophie's arrival, we've moved the girls into the bigger of the bedrooms. It was quite an undertaking, but we managed to get it cleared out and painted (with the help of Kelly and Holly). The girls LOVE their new, pink, "big girl" room. We still need to get their beds, but they're enjoying it all the same.We also got Sophie's nursery all set up. Again, my girls (and wonderful husband) came through for me and painted the walls. Sophie's room is a lovely shade of purple, which goes well with the glider and ottoman that my mom recovered for me. I'm so excited that my girls have such pretty rooms to call their own.
Right after we discovered that we were adding onto our family, we made the realization that we'd need a bigger vehicle. So, we recently traded Shawn's Honda Accord in for a Honda Odyssey minivan. I LOVE IT! I always said that I didn't want to be a "Minivan Mom"...but I've quickly changed my mind. It's so roomy and drives like a car. :) LOVE IT!
I'll be 36w pregnant tomorrow...and officially starting my 9th month. My EDD is July 14, but Sophie is scheduled to arrive via c-section on Tuesday, July 7....just three weeks from tomorrow. I can't even begin to describe how excited I am to meet our newest family member! I'll keep you all updated when she arrives.
