THE TABOR TIMES

A co-worker of mine is doing photography on the side. So for my birthday, Ryan gave me a maternity photo session. We went to Lake Lanier to take pictures since being at the lake in the summer really represents me and Ryan. We also went to downtown Alpharetta. We're really excited about how they turned out. Here are a few of the pictures she took.      

Kendall's room is almost complete! In January, we started the transformation of our guest bedroom into a nursery. It worked out perfectly that my sister was moving into her own place and needed bedroom furniture. So instead of renting a storage unit, we were able to pass everything along to Lauren for her new apartment. It worked out well for all of us! Here are some before and after pictures of the room. We still have some final details to complete, so I'll post more pictures when everything is finished.   BEFORE                                                                        AFTER

Ryan and I went to my doctor's appointment yesterday and everything was great. Actually our doctor said everything looked "perfect". This was so wonderful to hear! She said my stomach measurements are fine. I had definitely grown since my last appointment. I'm right on track with my weight gain, and Kendall's heartbeat was picked up immediately and was in the 150s, which was really good. My blood pressure has been slightly on the high side the past few times, but the doctor said it's not a cause for concern at this point. We would really appreciate your continued prayers for mine and Kendall's health these last 5 weeks (or less if she decides to come a little early which would be completely fine with me!). We really can't wait to meet her, especially as we are checking things off of the to-do list. It's getting closer and closer!

As Ryan has tactfully told me lately, Kendall is really growing these days. I'm 34 weeks now, with 6 weeks left until her due date! She's still really active and we can see my stomach moving all over the place now. Last time I went to the doctor, I was measuring a little smaller than "average". So when we go to the doctor on Thursday, they will measure my stomach again to see if they are going to do an ultrasound to check on everything. I think my height is the main reason that I'm measuring small, so hopefully that's the only reason! Here are a few recent pictures of my growing belly.             31 Weeks  32 Weeks 34 Weeks
