A little update

I could not help but start the post with this picture. Luke all dressed up for dinner with his grandparents (of course the clothes are compliments of my mom!)

So Monday is go time. We had an appointment with our obstetrician this past week and it was decided that it is time for baby boy to arrive. He is still measuring small on ultrasound, so the recommendation was to induce a few weeks early. Thankfully we have made it to 38 weeks, so the baby should be well developed, just a little bit small. We are really excited, but a bit nervous too. Thankfully, my mom, dad and brother arrived this past week and they have been tremendously helpful with looking after Luke. It has been so so sweet for my mom and brother to meet Luke for the first time. They are certainly in love.

Tonight, Nathan's parents will also being arriving to Lima to be with us for the week of the birth. What a sweet gift to have everyone here for the big event!

If you think to pray for us, please pray for a safe, uncomplicated delivery and for a healthy baby boy!  

We will be posting news and pictures as soon as we are home. We have appreciated the kind, encouraging emails and words from so many of you!

A few pictures of time with family!
