Abby's getting active!

We are now 34 days from the expected arrival date of Abigail and she is getting more active and responsive to her environment. We are thrilled to watch her move and explore her 'home' as she gets ready for the big move!

Here is the week 35 picture, with Laurel standing in front of Abigail's bed;

For those of you who do not live in Central Virginia, our weather has been crazy. Sunday night brought a snow storm that dropped 12 inches of snow at our house. School's were closed Monday and Tuesday and delayed on Wednesday. By Saturday, the temperature reached 80 degrees and we were able to run around in short sleeve shirts and tank tops. We enjoyed a breakfast out with Jane and Anna Saturday morning;

Thanks for checking in with us, we will continue to post and update you on the last few weeks of our journey to Abby's arrival and then share our journey as parents through this same blog. Talk to you soon,

34 Weeks!

Growing closer every day!!!!

Hello all - we continue our countdown to Abigail's expected April 11 arrival date. Abigail has become very active and, due to her growth, she is now very visible! When she moves or rolls over it is a quite obvious and beautiful thing. Here is the week 34 picture so you can measure her growth;


We are finalizing our plans for her birth and how we will communicate her arrival to everyone. We have had many people ask us to contact them when she arrives and we are going to put together an immediate announcement list and need your help.

Please give us your email address or text message number if you want to be notified when Abigail arrives. Email this information to bobolweaver@aol.com and use Abigail as the subject. We want to make sure that we share as quickly as possible with those who want to know immediately.

Thanks for checking back with our journey. We will post again soon,

32 Weeks!! Growing closer...

Hello all - hope that this finds everyone doing well. We are now 55 days from our April 11, 2009 due date. Time seems to be flying by and yet we cannot wait!




We are continuing our preparation and are gathering all of our necessities. Who knew that we needed so many diapers and wipes?!?!?!?!?!? We are so blessed to have so many family and friends who are taking care of us and who are excitedly awaiting Abby's arrival! :)

Friday and Saturday we took our Lamaze class and learned all about breathing techniques and birthing positions. We were taught by one of the head nurses of the birthing center and she did an excellent job answering questions and sharing with us what to expect.

Here are a couple of pictures of Abigail's room for you to enjoy. As you may be able to see, we are experiencing a ladybug invasion!!!!



Reilly and Rudie continue to be a big help in our preparation. Here is an action shot of Reilly helping arrange the room

Thanks for checking in with us - we will continue to update everyone as we continue on our journey.
