Any day now....

Hey everyone!
There is no baby announcement yet, just an update on what has been going on while we wait for 'Lil Peanut's arrival. I am just about 39 weeks along, which means that the baby can make her appearance any day now. I still feel really great, even if I'm in a constant state of exhaustion (good practice for life with a newborn, I assume). Last week, Johnnie and Colon were here to help us prepare the house and ourselves for the baby, so now we have a room that is just adorable and waiting for a little occupant. Johnnie and Colon were so terrific, and we are so thankful for their help! It was fun, too, to hear about John's arrival into this world...apparently he was indecisive and kept throwing Johnnie into and out of labor. I think he ought to apologize for that! I'll be sure to post some pictures soon of the baby's room and the rest of the new house, but for now you'll have to settle on a belly shot taken a week ago by Johnnie.

Spoiled rotten!

This weekend we were totally spoiled rotten by friends and family, and we are so ridiculously grateful for everyone. We moved into the new house two Saturdays ago, and Dad and Carol came in on Thursday night to help us get the house in working order. They helped us put together furniture, unpack boxes, hang pictures, and many other things....the house is about 99% done! It was such an accomplishment, and we even threw in some car drama for kicks. Despite all of the hard work, we ate some amazing meals together and relaxed outside on the patio.

Dad-to-be and Grandpa-to-be made a great team!

Then, on Saturday, Kara threw me an absolutely beautiful baby shower. Kara really has a knack for hosting amazing parties, and she went all-out with a creative "Bedtime Stories" theme. Tables were set like a bed, complete with pillow, book, and teddy bear on one end. She asked guests to all bring their favorite childhood book with an inscription for Baby Campbell, who now has an amazing library of classics. We also received so many essentials for the baby, that I feel so much more prepared...like I said, we are so spoiled by our friends! It was so touching to see how much thought and care Kara put in for a really special day for me, and I teared up every time I tried to thank her. Yeah, my hormones fly everywhere now, but I can't blame my blubbering completely on pregnancy. I'm just a big softie, like Dad.

The amazing Kara!

Here's a link to more fantastic pictures that Lindsay and Kara took of the shower.
