The last day.

Of just us two (Goofy as well).  

In case you can't tell, he was making us laugh (he had a good squeeze).


Tomorrow we go in at 6am for this little one to be "evicted" from its current home inside my tummy.  It has been such a beautiful last few days as I have gotten some seriously lovely time with the handsome man I married.  Every night we go to bed, say a prayer, and just ponder how beautiful life really is right now (and how people keep saying it is somehow going to get better).

Isn't it a beautiful thing how God exceeds our imaginations?  

I am quite captivated by that recently.

Oh, and little Miss Emmanuelle Poem Cecil made her beautiful debut on Sunday!!!  She is GORGEOUS (she was 15 days "overdue" and thus, I think she is perfect).  Morgan sent me this one so I don't have any of their beautiful family yet but we will! 



And yes, my belly seriously grew so much in the last week. I must say, it feels like a six-pack though...solid!  

PS:  Here is some proof of how much our baby moves...and why I am okay having it moved out tomorrow :)  I have had a few tears from a few painful kicks/headbutts/etc.  

It is likely about 9 pounds now and seriously the strongest, little thing I have ever experienced.  Ever.  

Crossfit has nothing on this little one.  

I am in the tub but it is nothing inappropriate :)  Just insane.  See craziness here.  The end of the video might scare you...

xoxo, Anna N

  4. Anna, I've never seen a baby move like that before. That truly put me in awe again of how wonderfully God created our bodies to nourish and protect a new life while in the womb. Can't wait to meet baby Norman!

  5. It's no wonder you have shed a few tears in the process! I think I saw the entire outline of little baby Norman's head! Excited for you and your family Anna!

  6. Whoa! That video is truly amazing! I think you have a kickboxer in there. Or maybe a gymnast. We are on pins and needles waiting for this baby to arrive. Ben and Ellie ask about you everyday. Can't wait to see you and Matt as parents. You will both be fantastic!

  13. Anna, I am so excited for you and your family. That video is hysterical, amazing and terrifying all at the same time:) Ava was 11 days late and I had to be induced but she was just hanging out it there...not dancing up a storm like your little peanut. I think she might have stayed forever if we'd let her. That little one is begging to get out and join the world, can't wait to see pics. Praying for a safe, fast and easy delivery.

    XOXO, Sarah

  15. Anna, I was cracking up and cringing at the same time while watching the video. Oh my WORD. What is amazing will be when baby norman is in your arms and you think..."did this baby really just come out of my body?" I will be waiting for precious pictures and will be happy to know you have been relieved of your incubation duties. Blessing, prayers and joyful singing send your way. Elizabeth
