Ok sorry I could not help myself...






Like I said I just could not resist...

Sophia Marie Roberts 9-18-08








Amanda is sleeping right now and recovering quite well. We have constantly heard (or at least I have) You just don't know... You just don't know...well, how could anything be more apropos than those words on this very special little girl's birthday. We thank God for her healthy arrival and pray that God will dwell in her life for many years! -Romans 11:36 "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen."........Alright so the Grandparents informed me i did not put the Girly details about little Miss Sophia: 8.0lbs 20 in long ( and if you ask me very very beautiful!)

Baby News!

So, we went for our appt. this afternoon and there was no change/progress but he did let me choose to be induced rather than skipping and going straight to a section. He said that I have a 60% chance of the induction not working. But, we are going to try. I am going in at 7:30 tonight and they will put the cervidil in let that sit all night long and will begin the pitocin drip in the morning. He will come by to see me before he goes to the clinic sometime between 7:00 & 7:30 and we will see how much progress I have made and possibly decide then to either keep going or to call it quits and go for the section. Either way Sophia will be here tomorrow! We will post pics of her as soon as we are able. I know there are several of you out of towners that would like to see her! Keep us in your prayers!

Only a few days left







WELL, it is Sunday night and we only have a few days left until our little girl is here. Here are some nursery pics I took that I thought you might enjoy. I made the canvas/painting on the wall over the dresser. I was quite proud of myself. I have several friends who have attempted these type projects and was pleased with how it came out.

catchin' up

Well, we are once again behind on our blog posts but I am waiting to post until I get the nursery done with everything on the wall, stroller and car seat in the car, etc. but we are getting there. This weekend during the rain and storm from Gustav, we were able to get a lot done. We have hooked up all her monitoring devices, got the car cleaned out, pack my bag and her bag, hung the blinds, and put away various other baby acessories and items. We are now approaching our 38 week mark which will be on Friday. Some people are lucky enough to go into labor at this point but I don't think it will be me. I am not feeling vary laborly and I think she will wait until closer to time. We went last week and there was no change so I am hoping this Friday when we go back there weill be something to be encouraging. I am doing well health wise and have not have problems with blood pressure or anything which is a blessing. It is hard to wait and not be impatient but I know that God is watching her while I cna't see her and that He is a better protecotr/guardian of her life than I will ever be-so she will just keep squirming and growing and maybe we will meet her sooner than later. I am really hoping for the 15th of Sept which is the next full moon instead of having to wait until the 20th. So, we shall see. Please keep us in your prayers as we wait that we can have a very average normal delivery. I promise to post pics soon!

ahh summer peaches!



Well, I must say there is nothing quite like summer peaches...It is funny how a small piece of fruit congers such great memories that borders on nostalgia and races straight past fond memories. Oh yeah that is quite a beautiful little pregnant lady in the pictures! Although, I think she is trying to tell me something...
