12 more weeks to go. Yay!!!!

 Well, its been a while since we posted anything here. Much hasn't really happened except Sher burnt herself trying to figure out a game for the baby shower and she still hasn't given up on it. Go Sher! You rock! I think she is a super woman or something.

Today is marks our 28th week  of pregnancy and that is very exciting for me. Of course, I have been getting bigger this last month that it scares me. There was nothing and now there is this huge bump. lol  But this week actually brings me a lot of hope in the sense that, not to long ago, I was 12 weeks pregnant. That means, April 4 is going to come before we know it and my angel is going to be with us. I know she can't wait to get out either cos she is a kicker. We think she is going to be a kick boxer or something like that. Tim wonders how come I haven't exploded yet cos he feels the kicks sometimes and gets worried while I laugh. I guess am kindda used to it now.

Apart from the fatigue and the back aches that I get sometimes, and oh the restless nights too, everything is going great and we couldn't be happier. We know that surgery has went great and everything seems to be healing well and her highness(baby Parcell) is also doing very well. We are just going to rest and spend some quality time together these next few months cos I have a feeling I will be up when am suppose to be sleeping( she kicks the worst when its bedtime). But we love her and can't wait to raise her so that she can have kids of her own.;)

I am so grateful to all who have seen me through the dark days; Effie for bringing me stuff that I craved from Provo. Toby and Sher, I don't even want to start cos it won't end. Rosie, my wonderful mother-in-law for taking me in when Tim had to work out of town and everyone that had me in their prayers. We very much appreciate it. We have reached this mile stone because of your service and your love.

Am looking forward to putting together a slide show of how it all began and I can't wait to share it with you. Until then, keep doing what you do. Its all of you that make our lives Heaven on earth.

WHAT A YEAR!

Its very amazing that is already 26 weeks into this pregnancy thing. We can't believe we are more than half way through it. Its gone by so fast that I wonder where I have been all these weeks.

As we sat at the table for lunch today and pondering how the year fast the year has gone by, we realized that, we have been blessed abundantly this year. So many things that we weren't expecting this year have happened. We have a beautiful home in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood and we are expecting our first. Its not like we never talked about all these. We did but it all seemed very far of. Not to mention the scary tumor that I(Takyiwah) had to get removed.
Wow! We have had one heck of a year. But the good things is, it ending in a very wonderful way, that we both couldn't ask for anything better.

We just began the rest of our lives together and we know its not going to get any easier. But we have each other and the gospel and these little ones that will be joining us from time to time to get us through. And we are sure going to try to cherish every passing moment cos they sure go by fast.

We are looking forward to this coming year and all the fun and exciting and challenges it will throw our way. Especially being new parents and the sleepless nights and the fun that comes with all that. And who knows what else this coming year will bring. What ever it is, we know it will be worth it in the end, just as this year has been.
We couldn't have made it through without our Heavenly father and the wonderful relationships that we have in our families and friends. We appreciate you all for the strength and support that you have been to us in our hard and lowly times. We hope we can also be there when the time comes for us to lend a helping hand.

We wish you all a happy new year! And hope that 2010 brings many wonderful experiences and great joy to everyone. We love you dearly.

Our little nest in the making!

Its been so exciting these past couple of weeks. I have been feeling so much better and been doing so much. We have already started to buy some baby stuff and trying hard to furnish the NEST. Its been a little frustrating though. But its very nice to try and make the room ready for baby. Its been a lot of fun putting all these stuff together. Its like another bonding experience for mum and dad before baby comes. Its a wonderful time for us. And we couldn't ask for anything better.

                                                                             It's been very exciting to pick out the sheets and bedding and the furniture. I really love the cherry furniture that we decided to go with.                                 

We got some baby gear also. We have  stroller and  car seat that I couldn't photograph because I'm too lazy to go to the basement. But, I here is the...

three in one swing that I so love

and the playard with a bassinet and changing table that she will use for the first
couple of weeks in mummy and daddy's room.

And I love this particular one so much. This is for making bath time fun time.
Am sure she is going to love it.

I am very excited and can't wait for or little girl to come. But I guess I have 17 more weeks to go. Its been fun getting ready and prepared for our little girl. Am proud of what we have been able to achieve in this first phase of preparation. Am excited to get the cutest clothes and socks and bibs and burp cloths. Will leave that for the second phase of preparation. Right now, am going to concentrate and making a special blankie for my girl before she comes.
We can't wait to meet her.
