The last baby standing.

First off, just want to say sorry for not keeping everyone up to date these past few weeks/months (I've completely lost track on where we left off). Since my last post the pregnancy has reached what has felt like a standstill. Everyone says that the final months are the longest. You know the baby is coming and the days on the calendar are marked off one by one, but the progress seems so delayed! The house is littered with pack and plays, strollers, and baby onsies so I know we're getting close but I feel so far. This is where that patience thing I was working on comes in handy. As it stands now we are 11 days away. I feel like those commercials "It's our baby and we want it now!"

Micah is now the last baby standing or should I say swimming. Since the beginning of the pregnancy I came in touch with friends and family that were also due around the same time as us. And all have given birth already while we sit hear and watch. The friends that announced their pregnancy the same week we discovered ours, received their baby boy at the end of September. My wife's cousin in NY had hers last Wednesday. A firefighter buddy of mine whose little girl was due the same week as ours just had theirs last night. Meanwhile Micah is taking his sweet time.

My mom and sister through a mustache themed baby shower, full of corny and embarrassing games, gifts, and great friends. I was super happy to see all the support from friends and family. Seeing all of them there to support us, assures me that everything is going to be just fine. Our friends bought us alot of the stuff we needed on our registry. With the exception of a few things here and there, were set and ready to go. 
 
The nursery is complete with the exception of a few decorations that we'd like to set up but are nonessential. Now I need to start getting a jump on a few things like a jump bag with all the essentials for when my wife goes into labor. Until then, send me some lives on candy crush because this game is kicking my butt.
