The Waiting Game

In the last 2 years I have met my soulmate, married him, and now about to "pop" with out first child. God has blessed us and so I felt it was time to start blogging about the Adventures of our life.


Well, as of right now I am 8 months pregnant with our sweet little girl, whom we are naming Addie Ila-Marie.  Addie comes from my great grandmother, my mother's mother's mother.  She was an extremely loved woman that always thought of family first.  I loved her as a little girl and she passed when I was 4 but I still have memories of going to see her in the nursing home, pieces of my past no one can take from me. Ila comes from Jonah's grandmother, known as Nana.  The first time I sat down with her and had a conversation we talked about out faith and strength in the Lord, she is an amazing God driven woman and I know Addie will be honored to share her name.  We added Marie onto the end of Ila because Nana begged us to add something to Ila and it flowed beautifully. 

Tomorrow we start back to work full time!
Jonah has been doing Cross Country practice early in the mornings but was able to come home afterwards.  I am so large that going to school was out of the question, I can't really bend over and definitely cannot move anything. I am excited to start back to work and get my students ready for the year.  I am working on maternity plans so they may experience a fun time in Theatre even if I am not there. I will work up until the day I have Addie and then take my maternity leave, I will return to my students the week after Thanksgiving. 

So now... is the waiting game.
Addie is due on September 15th, will she make it til then or will she come early.  God loves to surprise us, so we will see when she does make her debut. I just know Jonah and I cannot wait to hold her in our arms and I cannot wait for her to stretch out into something besides my ribs.
