Today marks the start of week 35, meaning only 35 days are "left" until the estimated due date. The baby must be doing great because it's moving ALL THE TIME lately, really making it hard at times to just sit and relax! (imagine being regularily *boxed* from the inside, often without the warning of preceding lighter movements-!) Walking and sleeping continue to grow more challenging, but preparations for our new family member are going along smoothly with a stroller, bed, changing area, clothes, some toys and even the first week's diapers all ready to go (not to mention the hospital bag!). We hope to take a small trip this weekend to a town just over the border in the Czech to enjoy our last opportunity to travel "before baby." And the realization keeps ringing truer and louder that in as little as two weeks (it's commonly recognized that babies can be born full term anytime between 37 and 42 weeks) we could be meeting this little life! Please keep praying for our adjustment into parenthood, I don't know if anyone ever truly feels "ready" for it-!

We pray that everything is well with you. We know you and Grads will make wonderful, godly parents - go AlliGator!
We love you!
You look awesome! Looking more and more pregnant! :)
YOu'll be an awesome mom!
I pray that the next few weeks while you wait will be good for you! It's hard waiting! :)
Praying for you!
Hey girl, I'm so excited for you guys. I know you both will be wonderful parents and I am so looking forward to seeing pictures when the little one arrives. I really appreciated your comment on my xanga. Mom is doing GREAT and I had a great spring break. I'll post again soon to update about everything. Love and miss so much! :)
But it is WONDERFUL! Enjoy every minute.
Allison -
you look sooo sooo cute. Do people in Germany want to rub your belly the way they do to expecting women in the states? You know when you are standing next to an expectant mother in the supermarket or something and a stranger has this strange urge to rub your stomach? I always thought that would make ms so mad - just wondered if it happened to you. I still can't believe you are going to be a mom!!! WOW! I am hoping I get to see you and your little one sometime soon.
Allison,
I am so excited for you and Grady! I can't believe how soon baby Maass will be arriving! I can't wait to meet the sweet little baby! :) We will be praying for you!
