Waiting patiently is really hard to do! I feel like we are ready for this baby now and the belly is getting quite cumbersome- and all we can do is wait for the baby to be ready. I keep thinking “this could be my last day of work” and the hospital bag is packed… so every day I wake up a little disappointed that nothing has happened yet :) Two weeks seems like such a short time, but the last few days have just crept by. We’ll try to keep busy around the house this weekend- it will be the first Memorial weekend we haven’t been at the lake in many years!
I attached this picture so Uncle Jeff can see where the cowboy hat will be… right next to some little boots that Manda gave him/her. Pretty darn cute!
Hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend!

Waiting for baby . . . I remember sitting in the rocker that Grandma Wanda had painted . . . looking at the “circus” wallpaper Grandma Merle had hung . . . and thinking you were NEVER going to be born, Steph! (You DON’T want to know how many days “over” you were!)
Baby Keck’s nursery looks so darling and everything’s ready to go. Can’t wait to see him/her lying on that changing table! The entire northeastern corner of North Dakota is waiting to hear the BIG news!! Love you guys . . . Mom
Hey pretty lady…don’t worry, baby will come. He’s just taking his time and makin’ sure you’re all ready to go. The nursery is ready, the bed is ready, you’re ready…and he’ll come when he’s ready. It’s been such a great journey to watch on this site…thanks for sharing it with all of us…and enjoy these last few days if you can…and know what?? He’s gonna come out and you’ll stare at him for days and days and say to yourself “of course this what you look like!! How did I ever think you’d look any different!!??!”. We all love you and cannot wait to see what God came up with…
Hey Steph — I know how hard it can be to wait. And wait. And wait some more!! I found this poem after I went overdue with Oliver and it really said what I was feeling and often times even calmed me down a bit. Hope it helps you too!
Waiting
Dear baby, here beneath my heart;
I thought that you might come today;
The timing seemed just right.
But the stars are out
And the moon is high
And sheepishly I wonder why
I try to arrange the plans of God.
For now I know
You will not come until the One
Who holds eternity rustles your soft cocoon
and whispers in tones I will not hear;
“It’s time, precious gift.
Now it’s time.”
Robin Jones Gunn
Mothering by Heart
Praying for you Steph! Hang in there. :)
What a beautiful poem from Jessica! I enjoyed reading it too:) We missed you at the lake, and Joe said — the next time you come it will be three of you (and, of course, Koda too). Now that you are ready I hope that you will be surprised with an early delivery. I’m sure that this humid weather is alittle uncomfortable for you. Stay rested and relaxed. We will be patiently waiting for a phone call:) Love you all
Steph:
I just thought to myself today, “Oh, my gosh. Steph’s due date is next week!” I can’t believe it’s nearly June already!
