39 weeks




Our nursery is complete and we only have 8 days until Ella is due (although our prediction is that she'll be a little late so don't get too excited yet). My mom and I spent a week working on the nursery finishing touches and I just love the end result. We have a doctor's appointment every Thursday AM now to check on progress, but last week she was still a little bit high which likely means she's not going to make her appearance quite yet. Lenell, Ella's Grandma, sent us this Psalm which we just loved so we thought we'd post it as well. It just sums up what an amazing miracle we know this is and just how blessed we feel that we are so close to meeting our new little one.


Psalm 139: 13-16. 'For you created my inmost being: you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made: your works are wonderful. I know that full well'

Tanner and Jessica are Married!





We had a wonderful weekend in Sonoma with friends and family celebrating Tanner and Jessica's marriage. It was wonderful weather and everything was beautiful. Tanner and Jessica looked so happy and we were all just excited for them to begin their lives together. I was of course 37 weeks pregnant in my bridesmaid dress but thankfully the dress worked! Erin, Jessica's sister, was also pregnant so it was nice to have a friend in the bridal party! I am officially off work now just preparing for the baby to come so hopefully my blog updates get a little bit more frequent now that I'm home. I wanted to let everyone know as well I have a new email address canders412@gmail.com while I'm home so feel free to email me there. Attached is a photo of Tanner and Jessica cutting the cake, Jake, Grandma and myself at the wedding and one of Chandry and I the day after when we went wine tasting. It was a great weekend and a great new beginning to the exciting month of August 2008 in the MacDiarmid/Anderson family.
