The countdown...

If Baby Sievert doesn't make an appearance on his own today or tomorrow, we'll be going in to the hospital on Tuesday to encourage him along. We are both eagerly and nervously looking forward to the big day, but since this is our first baby, we have no idea what to expect! The bags have been packed for a while, the nursery is completely ready, the house is clean, the freezer is full, the carseat is in and has been inspected by a very friendly Holland firefighter. Nesting set in this weekend with a vengeance, and poor Jared got roped into completely organizing and cleaning the basement with me:) He's such a wonderful husband:)

Friday was my last day at work for 6 weeks, so I'm "officially" on maternity leave now. It's a very weird feeling knowing that I'm not going to be at work for a while (although I know myself and I'm sure I'll be in there before the 6 weeks is up:)) Tomorrow Jared and I are going to finish a few projects and run a few last-minute errands. It's a very surreal feeling to know that tomorrow is our last day as just the two of us, but we are so excited to meet our little man:)

We had a family friend come up and take some maternity pictures a few weeks ago-I'll leave you with a few and the next time we post, it will be to introduce you to our little guy!

Coming Soon...Baby Boy Sievert

Sometime in the next three weeks, Baby Boy Sievert should be making his appearance in the world and we are so ready to meet him! We have been so thankful to have had a relatively easy pregnancy and we are filled with awe at the blessing that God has trusted us with. Every night when we pray for our little guy, we thank God for this little miracle that's about to join our family.

Below are some pictures of the journey so far (sorry about the sideways ones)...
