the nurse weighed me this week and i had a feeling it might not be pretty. upon returning from eight days at antique show (partnered with daily doses of white chocolate cranberry cookies and frozen cappuccinos). when she got on the scale to weigh herself next i thought it a little odd that she was weighing herself with me in the room. then it hit me, she is checking to make sure the scale works. i assured her it was probably correct and asked how much i gained and she said i had nothing to worry about (to avoid answering). so again i asked, was it over ten pounds? no, no it wasn't she quickly responded. looking at my chart i realized she had been honest, since 9 1/2 pounds is technically under 10.

you and your cousin-to-be seem to really like matching already. mel and i keep showing up places coordinating, and halloween was no exception in our black and white stripes. good thing you are getting used to it already because i hope y'all continue matching for many years to come. you are moving more than ever and i love feeling each punch, kick and wiggle you send my way. your speciality is performing full-out gymnastics routines when i crawl in bed each night. i am thirstier than ever and your dad lost count of how many evening sonic runs he has gone on to deliver my favorite thing (route 44 ice water) our way.

after a couple attempts i successfully (and thankfully) passed my gestational diabetes test and celebrated with the beginning of peppermint chocolate chip milkshake season at chick-fil-a, perfect timing. we got to tour the brand new hospital where you will be born and the reality of you coming into the world sunk in more as we visited the delivery rooms, saw the recovery rooms, filled out paperwork and tried to imagine meeting you for the first time. i can't stop smiling each time i think about you.

this week we celebrated thanksgiving at our house. thank you for the great reason to wear stretchy pants. i am thankful for you for so very many reasons. you had grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins sitting around us enjoying time together and they prepared such yummy food for us all to enjoy. we loved hearing your heartbeat once again at this week's appointment and seeing you are growing well on another ultrasound. you appear to be a big baby like your brother and sister so my doctor has a close eye on you to make the best delivery plan. i continue to pray for: safety for you, wisdom for dr. p's decisions, and peace to trust God already knows how and when you will arrive.
OH HOW I LOVE YOU.

I cannot wait to meet this precious little bundle! You look amazing! I was thinking the other day that Baby McCord might weigh more than Sullivan at 2 months. You make big, beautiful, healthy babies! Y'all will be in my prayers as you go into the home stretch!
I am so glad baby was rocking it gangsta' style at week 32!
So thankful for the growth of that precious one!
