34 and 35 weeks

It seems like it's getting harder and harder to blog with everything there is to prepare for the next couple of weeks. I imagine that after Maddox gets here this blog will be practically nonexistent.

Over the past two weeks a lot has gone on. Garrett, Dad, Tyler, Kendall, and many more participated in Tough Mudder...a 12 mile mud run/obstacle course. Mom and I participated in walking around and watching them. We had to have walked at least 5 miles and I'm convinced this walking was just as hard as the course. Needless to say Garrett and I were both sore and exhausted the following Sunday. I guess this was a glimpse of life with an infant. 

I went back to the doctor for a visit and everything sounded good. We were also blessed with an amazing shower from my coworkers. We got our first round of gifts and started dealing with the good problem of "where are we gonna put all of this?" I am so blessed to work with such thoughtful and caring people that are willing to spend a few of their hard earned dollars on Maddox and I. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures from this shower. :( The first graders took a field trip to the Dallas Arboretum. Basically this means more walking and an extremely bumpy bus ride. I was pretty sure that after being tossed around the bus seats for an hour Maddox would just fall out but thankfully he's still right where he needs to be. This Saturday we were blessed with another amazing shower given by family and friends. I am so thankful for all of the family and friends that were able to attend and share their love with us. (Pictures of this fabulous event will be coming soon!) Garrett was also honored with a diaper poker party. He had a lot of fun and we got so many diapers that will last us for months! Now if they just came with someone to change the diapers with.

Thank you all to everyone who has blessed us over the past few weeks! Your love is definitely felt and we are so incredibly grateful for every gift, card, kind word, prayer and long trip to Sherman that you have invested in. Words won't be enough to thank you all for every little and big thing you have done.  God has truly blessed us with an amazing community of people.
