Finally a picture!


Sorry for the delay. I have heard a few complaints and I'm sorry. I'll try to be better. Here is me at 23 weeks. The picture is taken in the baby's room, so you can see the color of the walls.
All is going well. The baby is moving a little more. He or she moves at church, when I'm going to bed, or when I'm just sitting still in the evenings. I think the loudness of the church services wakes him or her up, either that or the baby can feel the Spirit move from a really young age. :)

Doctor's visit

VBS went well this week (for the most part). Eight kids accepted Christ for the first time!!! It reminded me that I'm glad I don't have to stand on my feet all day everyday. The extra 14 pounds can really be felt when I have to stand for hours. This week also brought on the first veracious vein. I knew that these would be coming soon, so I wasn't surprised...just I little sad.
We went to the doctor Friday. The heart beat was still around 150-155. It was really loud this time. Everything checked out fine. I have to go back in fours weeks now instead of five. I'll try today to remember to take a picture of my huge belly. Since it is noticeable now, people at church that don't know I'm pregnant are looking at me funny. One of our volunteers with the youth group some how missed the announcement and just thought I was gaining some weight. He finally asked around to see if I was pregnant. I gave him a hard time about it. :)

Sorry about my spelling. Rob and I were looking at coaches not couches. :)
Things are going well. We have been busy getting the house ready. Mom and Dad were a big help this week.
The baby keep getting bigger. It is making it harder to sleep at night. I have to keep getting up to go pee and I can only lay on my side. I never really slept on my belly, but I slept on my back a lot, but I can't do that. Then I have had some leg cramps in the middle of the night. I just keep remind myself that this is good because it means things are going like they should. Rob was amazed yesterday how big my belly had gotten. Still no stretch marks yet. I had a dream that they popped up everywhere!!
My headaches have eased up. I only have about one a week. If I catch it in time and lay down it helps it to not be so bad.
I'm leading the Bible story this week for VBS. Wow, why did I ever think I could teach elementary? :) I guess that is why God has always blessed me with middle school jobs.

Half Way!

I'm half way through the pregnancy. At times I think, "How can I get any bigger?" and other times I think I don't even look pregnant. Rob and I where looking for coaches and the sales lady called me a feather weight. Rob and I just looked at each other and thought, "Feather weight, I'm almost five months along and feel huge." We did find a coach though. It won't be in until the end of August when we get it, so if you come visit before then just be warned that we'll have to visit around the dining room table.
The house is coming together. The baby's room has all the baby stuff I have gotten so for. It was fun to put away all the little baby clothes and toys.
