Tiny acts of service = HUGE blessing for us

Jason and I have been overwhelmed with the amount of service people are willing to give to help make the transition from a family of 4 to a family of 5 a little more manageable. We have had people over to the house to help paint the nursery, girlfriends come over to help organize baby goodies, family over to help pack away old clothes or clothes to grow into and more recently, our friends Clay and Jessica came over Thursday to watch the girls. Now, that may not seem to be too big of a deal, but when you hear the rest of the story-you will see why...

I have been more emotional over the last few weeks than I have over the last several months, and this last Thrusday, I was overwhelmed and super tired. I over course was crying for just about everything that happened (big or small), and felt there was no end to the growing list of "to do's" before school ends and Clara comes. Clay and Jess offered to help but I was not sure how to explain what needed to be done. With no hesitation, they (with the help of Bonnie nad Elena) began cleaning our house (every room) and doing our laundry! We came home to a tidy bedroom with the bed made and the kitchen was clean and smelled great! When I walked back into the bedroom and saw the bed made and everything was put away, I bawled! It was kind of funny-looking back on it now. But, We were so greatful! Then the next day, Jessica came on her day off to do our laundry so that I could work on school stuff and do whatever else I needed to do. She did probably 10-12 loads of laundry (at least), folded it, and put it all away!!!! I know what some of you may be thinking-"yuck! They had that much laundry?" Yes, we did. It was piled high and we were drowning in it! : ) But, Jessica tackled it and made it possible for us to breath again! Thank you so much!!!

For those of you who have come to our rescue over the last several months-Jason and I are eternally grateful! We could not have done any of this prep work without you. Thank you so much!

We are less than 4 weeks away from "D-Day" (Delivery Day) and things are finally feeling like they are coming into order...all except my hormones! Those are out of control right now-and only I can say so! ; )
