WWhhoooaaaa there. There's a baby in that belly!

Sara's pregnancy is moving along beautifully and after too much time passing, we are here to provide an updated status.

First I would like to thank so many people for all of the tremendous love and generosity exhibited over the last few months. I would like to single out a few people; our parents; Steve and Karen, Jerry and Susan; Sara's aunts Lisa and Gail, Sara's grandparents Jerry and Charlotte, and Margaret. Your gifts have meant so much but your enthusiasm and love for our daughter mean so much more I cannot properly describe it. I just wanted to start this update recognizing you.

Sara's belly is beautifully growing every day and it looks like Gabriella is dropping a bit. I believe it is now time to start the pool to predict the day that our little girl comes into this world. Even with Sara's belly noticably growing I still can't wait for the smack of reality that's coming when she shows up. It shouldn't be surprising that I often get overwhelmed with the desire to hold her and kiss her sweet baby head and her sweet baby feet.

We've been learning a lot recently as well. For the last month or so we've been attending baby classes at the hospital where Sara will be giving birth. It has really been an eye opening time and also a great anxiety reducer. We've been learning all about what's going on with Sara's body now, what to expect later, how to keep Sara as comfortable as possible, feeding, caring for Gabriella and this week we will be learning how to change a diaper! It's our last week and they saved the best lesson for the last one. I've never changed a diaper but if it's anything like throwing a ball or baking a pie I'm sure I'll be one of the top 5 diaper changers in Knox county. I can't wait for it and I know you can't wait for the update on that one...

I hope everybody has a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

Stephen
