We are growing more and more anxious to meet our little girl! We're in the home stretch and visiting the OB every two weeks now. Claire is still doing great and has been especially active these past few weeks and Carolyn has definitely been feeling the aches and pains of the third trimester but, it will be more than worth it once she's here in our arms! We're about to start the marathon of birthing classes, breastfeeding classes, and hospital tours in the coming weeks and it's going to make it all seem more real!
Carolyn's job is still going well. She's been offered a lot of opportunities to work and is trying to take full advantage of working now before Claire's arrival. Sean's work is going well, things are remaining slow, but he's hopeful that some more projects will be thrown his way soon. We've purchased two, baby friendly, cars recently as well, so that has been very exciting! Sean's now driving a Honda Ridgeline and Carolyn can be seen cruising around in her Toyota Prius (which has been especially nice with these crazy gas prices here in Northern VA. $4.00+ a gallon, yikes!).
We've been plugged into a great small group at our church and have really enjoyed getting to know the 3 other couples and their children. They've shared some great parenting advice already so we know they are going to all be a huge blessing once Claire is here! God continues to amaze us with his grace and blessings!
We're heading home for a fun filled weekend with the whole Beville clan! Bruce, Stacy, and Cameron are heading to Williamsburg and we are so excited to get everyone together!!
On a sad note, we will also be attending John Brawley's funeral on Sunday afternoon before heading back home. For those of you who did not know John, he was known as "Uncle Brawley" in the Reece home and was a very close family friend to Carolyn and the Reece's so this is a very sad loss for Carolyn and her family. We know that he is in a much better place and breathing easy, and as Carolyn likes to picture, whistling a tune with his classic plaid hat on his head and a kick in his step :).
