Dear Champ,
You have made it to 39 weeks! I’m so happy for you and excited to meet you! This week, you are the size of a small watermelon, but I cannot imagine a watermelon inside me. Watermelons are round and smooth (and delicious) and you are full of movement and joy! It’s incredible to feel your little feet or your knees or sweet little bottom pressed up against me. I can’t wait for you to come out here so we can see you and hold you and smell your sweet baby smell.
Here are the official 39 week photos:
Also, I might look like the above photo, but I feel like this:
So you can come out anytime! As we know from Ecclesiastes (or the Byrds) “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” We are learning to be patient as we await your arrival because we know the Lord has picked the perfect day for your birthday.
And here is a photo of you and your Dad from this morning. You LOVE it when he talks to you, reads you stories or plays games with you and I just know you’ll be great friends (and if you’re a girl, you’ll have him wrapped around your finger).
This week has been a little different for us. No more going to work during the day and getting things done. Instead, we’ve met friends for lunch, cleaned up the house a little, organized the guestroom for your Grandma McPherson’s arrival, read some books and generally rested. It’s going to be weird for me to not go to work again in the near future, but I’m oh so excited to spend my days with you; we’ll have adventures, explore God’s creation and I am honored to be part of each day to watch you grow and learn!
Happy 39 weeks sweet baby Champ! We can’t wait to meet you!
Love,
Your Mom
WOW! You’re almost 10 months pregnant! Excited to read stories and see pictures of your new little guy/girl! WHAT JOY!!!
aaahhhhh!!!!! you’re having a BABY!
You are hilarious! I am also excited to meet baby McPherson. My niece/nephew is awesome. Can we call him or her the little watermelon?!?!
also you look great.
LOVE YOU!!
So sweet! You’re an adorable pregnant lady, but you’ll be an even cuter mom! Good luck, hope Champ arrives soon.
Kelly & Jonathan,
I can’t wait to meet Champ, and I can’t believe you have made it this long! That was directed to Kelly. You look beautiful (also directed to Kelly), and soon you’ll be holding your little miracle! Keep us posted–especially those of us not on fb. Do you guys tweet? Maybe I should be following you.
Yay! He/She is almost here!

Hey there.
Well, I’m patiently waiting for the blog update for your ‘blog friends’. And totally agreeing that you’re NOT going to make this the first place you announce it.
Continued prayers and congratulations!
