Maternity Picutres

Steve and I enjoyed taking some pictures a few weeks ago. It got us really excited that baby Reynolds is almost here! It is so hard to believe our time as just a couple is almost over.

Here are a few of my favorites from the day:

We were so blessed by a sweet seminary wife Juanita Cannon who used her gifts to bless us with some beautiful pictures. If you are in the bay area and want to do family pictures we highly recommend her! Let me know if you want me to connect you to her.

TBC Baby Shower

We are so blessed to have such a giving and loving church family. Our Youth group surprised us in the morning with a surprise shower and an awesome cake. Their sweet cards have kept us in stitches and their thoughtful gifts will be used daily!

The amazing cake one of our youth made!

In the afternoon some special women from our church's women's ministry gave us a beautiful shower for the whole church to attend. We were overwhelmed at their generosity toward our family! We can not wait until Baby Reynolds arrives so that we can introduce them to all of our sweet church family! It was a day we will remember for the rest of our lives. We look forward to sharing these memories with our little one too!

Pregnancy Progress 33 Weeks

We are in the final home stretch! It's hard to believe in just a little over a month and a half we'll be holding this sweet baby in our arms. As the baby has become more and more active I am getting more and more curious about their personality. As I tell everyone I just want to know "Who are you?" I just want to meet you and learn about you. The anticipation continues to grow daily... as do my feet, which Steve affectionately called tree trunks this morning. It sounds a whole lot meaner than it really was haha.

We went to a labor class last weekend which we both really enjoyed. Steve was highly skeptical but both of us left feeling our anxiety a little lower and full of joy and laughter from all the fun moments we shared. We have come up with our birth plan with is called "Go with the flow and likely get an epidural" Most of you well know my pain tolerance is low and I can't imagine this experience will be any different. I'm sorry if I offend anyone out there with my plan as I know I live in a community that is very anti drugs.

Our most recent doctors appointment went well. The baby sounds great and they said I'm doing great too! Love those kind of reports! Our next trip to the doctor we'll see the baby one final time before the birth! Please be in prayer for our upcoming labor. We can't wait to meet the little person God has blessed us with!

Reverend Stephen Reynolds

We celebrated Steve's ordination last weekend. It was such a beautiful personal service. Steve and I were so blessed to have the Reynolds celebrate with us as well as many of our church family members. Here is a clip and a few pictures from the service:

Baby Shower

Waddle the Baby be?? We'll just have to wait and see!

My sweet friend Kalli threw me a baby shower this past weekend with ducks as the theme. Steve and I were so overwhelmed with all of the love that was shown to us through the party and the gifts. This party made it that much more real that Baby Reynolds is right around the corner!

The Party was just so beautiful that I wanted to share a few pictures of it with you. (And I have to say my fancy new camera did pretty good!)
