Busy, Busy

It feels like crunch time. Eight weeks until baby Lillian is expected to arrive! However, many, including myself and Kelly, think she'll be here a bit earlier than that. According to our last ultrasound, she gained almost 2 lbs in 3 weeks! After our last pregnancy with Dillon and always hearing bad news about him not growing and things not going well, we are so happy to hear about growth spurts! Even if it does mean I gain more weight and get a little more uncomfortable each day : ) She is doing great and moving constantly which is so much reassurance for me and Kelly. Many times it feels like she's boxing with my organs but I don't think I'd have it any other way. Her delivery will be bitter sweet for me, I think. I will be so happy she has arrived safe and healthy but so sad that Dillon didn't. It will be difficult to be back in the same delivery area. Thank God for a wonderful family and husband!

In addition to trying to get things organized for Lillian's arrival, Memory Box Garage Sale fundraiser #2 is in the works for the end of the month. Sacred Heart Parish's Ladies Auxiliary has adopted my project and run full force. They are so involved it's amazing. The next garage sale is going to be in the cafeteria at the elementary school and we've gotten a lot more great donations! The caferteria is filling up! Yay for the school letting us use the air conditioned cafeteteria!! Hope this one is successful too. Some of the ladies are even trying to open up the sale for Friday morning while I'm at work. It's nice to have the extra help and support. I'd love to get some memory box things in stock before Lillian gets here so I don't have to worry about not having things when people need them. These boxes are extra work for us, but so worth it to help other families!

A lot going on in the Cumbest house lately, but it's all for good things : )
