37 - 38 Weeks

37 Weeks - Thursday, April 28th
{19+ inches from head to heel, about 6 1/3 pounds - about the size of a stalk of Swiss chard}
 

The baby is now considered full term!  The picture above was taken in our back yard a day after the storm...see below for more details.

38 Weeks - Thursday, May 5th

Life has been turned upside down over the past few weeks, but we are certainly among the blessed after the storm on April 27, 2011.  We woke up to an EF2 tornado in Cahaba Heights around 5:45am that took many trees from our yard and caused damage to our fence and roof, but we consider ourselves fortunate considering the devastation that occurred across the state.  It was an eventful and sad day across Alabama, one that we will be talking about with friends and family for many years to come.  Among other things, we are also glad that Baby Moss did not come in the middle of all of the chaos!  Whew!

Our cedar tree that helped to block us from Old Man Green next door.  Another one will be going up soon!

Pines in the back yard...

View from the street....not much has changed just yet.

Walker and Alex cleaning up...

New fence that Walker finished yesterday...doesn't it look GREAT!?

We regained power last week, but have no cable or internet, so this will likely be the last post before the baby's arrival!  The past nine months have flown by, but with the help of sweet friends and family, it has been a wonderful experience so far.  We will keep everyone posted – thank you for your thoughts and prayers!
