MIA!!!

Sorry it's been so long!!! We have been busy little bees.  But I am not officially on Maternity Leave so I thought I'd update before our entire world changes with a newborn and I REALLY won't have the time to update very often......

So since our last update we have since found out that we are having a handsome little fella.....but I'm sure most of you know this already.  We flew home and had a gender reveal party with family and friends and it was so amazing to find out with everyone we love and care for.  :) Then I headed home again in January for my amazing baby shower.  I am so so so blessed to have the beautiful (inside and out) women I have in my life.  I couldn't have asked for a more perfect shower, right down to the very last detail.

Fast forward and I am 38 wks along.  The finish line is VERY near!  Everything during our pregnancy has been pretty blissful (knock on wood!!).  I am still walking at least 5-6 days a wk, but am definitely ready for a faster pace of life......aka running.  But in due time.  I am still feeling very good and want baby Mason to bake as long as he needs.  We have family & friends starting to fly in at the end of this week to await his arrival.   We couldn't be more excited!!! Although I am feeling a little sad knowing he won't be inside me anymore.  I have really really enjoyed pregnancy and LOVE LOVE LOVE the feeling of him, knowing he is safe and sound in there.  But I also know it will be much sweeter to have him in my arms and watch him grow.

Now that I am on maternity leave and have to admit, BORED!!! So I am occupying my time by baking and cooking and freezing lots of dinners in preparation for when Bruce and I become walking zombies and don't have the energy to cook or bake for ourselves.  Masons all set and ready to go, so that's a good feeling.  Now we browns....WAIT!!! Wish us luck and keeps us in your prayers for a fast and healthy birth!!!! Will try and update as soon as we can!

Love,
Nichole, Bruce, baby Mason, and Pudge
