Baby Update... Day 2

This picture is from 8:30AM on day two, the second night went much better than the first with more sleep for all, and much better feeding times for Mom and John IV. But as the pictures show we still all need lots of rest.




Last evening (technically day one) John IV received his first bath. Daddy and Baby both did a great job with that, while Mommy sat on a towel in the bathroom and watched. :) The poor thing was exhausted after his postpartum check-up (heel pricking included) and then the bath.

The postpartum check went great. When the time came for the heel prick, John IV only cried for about 30 seconds. It made all of us grown ups feel a lot better.

Blessings to all, and many thanks for your prayers, and comments.


Ps. 127: 3-5
Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.
As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] children of the youth.
Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Nine Days....

Yay! Nine days and counting. I have had several request for updated pictures so. Here you go.

Whitney.

Thirty Eight Weeks and counting...

We are 38 weeks along today. Still not a whole lot that makes me believe baby will be here soon, but I am still hoping for sooner rather than later. Thanks everyone for your prayers on our behalf.

Baby count down....

We are at 16 days till D (due date) day. Hopefully we will have a baby on, or preferably before, that day.

Baby adjustments...

Right now it is 2:25 AM central time. Most normal people would be asleep. :) I never liked being normal. I believe this is another one of those baby things that we must get used to. I figured I would get up and catch up on a few blogs that I haven't been reading of late. Then I thought I would share with you for no apparent reason that it is 2AM and I am still awake.

21 Days and counting. (Till the due date that is, still hoping for an earlier baby)

Blessing to all you normal people that actually sleep. :)

Baby Day....

27 Day's and counting till BABY DAY!

Still hoping and praying for a little bit sooner than that!

Waiting for Baby...

Waiting for baby with joyful heart
despite sore ribs and back.

Waiting for baby with hopeful prayers,
and longing arms.

Waiting for baby while days go by,
as I count each one.

Waiting for baby with busy hands,
and lots of baby projects.

Waiting for you sweet little love.



For those of you counting, we are 31 days and counting (that's if the baby is born on it's due date.) Oh, and for the record, we are expecting a very cute little Creath baby.

Upcoming events, and family news...

Family news...

Well, there isn't a whole lot to report on this front. Besides skirts that are getting to tight and shirts that are getting stretched out a little. Baby Creath is growing and doing well. The last midwife appointment went very well, and so far everything has been going great. We are currently 23 weeks along. Just a little over halfway. Already I am trying to figure out where time has gone, before we know it little John or Charlotte will be here making the pressence of the newest Creath well known. Not that he or she hasn't been already. I usually feel the baby moving the most around 10:00 or 11:00 PM. I also sometimes feel it in the morning as I am waking up. I think right now that is one of my favorite times of the day. Cuddling with my husband and feeling this new little life inside of me growing and moving. John's work is going well. In fact I am sitting right next to him as I type this. Our internet has been kinda on and off of late so I am using the laptop at SMI.

We are trying to get ready for winter, the weather up here is just cool enough to let us know that winter is coming, but warm enough that it makes one want to be outside as much as possible. I have missed this time, the definite change of seasons. Leaves that turn an amazing varity of color, and the breeze. It one of those things that you only understand if you have spent time living elsewhere, before living in Georgia.

Upcoming Events

The next big event that the Creath family is looking forward to is the Reformation Day Faire. Don't worry we will post pictures after the event. The Faire is October 27th. A little under two weeks away. I have been busily sewing costumes and helping those from the church that are planning the event. It is basically a time to learn more about the reformation, to fellowship, and to get to dress up. We will be having a Towne Market, a tournament, and a authentic German feast. We may even get to meet Martin Luther. ;) Well, I think that pretty much updates you all on the life of the Creath family now.

Many Blessings, and may Gods' peace be given to you.
