Pictures from Sat.




Our Weekend

Well we had a good weekend..We got to have some family time together friday night and sat morning. Saturday night we had that Martin Luther King Celebration at NCC. It was cool to go and see all the stuff that Russ designed. Plus they had free refreshments and treats at the intermission. That was my favorite part. Its pretty hard for Russ to compete with Free brownies and cookies. Sorry Honey :) Anyhow Sunday we just had church and then hung out for the day. We actually got outside today for a walk. I ended up having contractions again a couple hours after that. I am not sure if those walks are good or bad for me.

So today I am 32 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I am getting so excited for this baby to arrive. We went out on friday and bought some things that we needed for him. Its so weird that I have a house full of baby stuff and this kid is kicking me every 5 minutes but I still don't feel pregnant. I look down at my belly and all I think is wow thats huge. I can't believe that there is a baby in there that will be coming out in a few weeks. So strange.

So about my post a couple weeks ago about these "friends" that I lost. The Lord has really helped me heal and realize that its okay. He has put a bunch of new people in our lives that love us and accept us and our decisions. Which is awesome. I just had to realize that no matter how much I wanted to "control" the situation that I can't. People make their own choices and I can do nothing about it. I am not going to forget these people that once were in my life but I cannot change who I am or what I believe for them. That chapter is officially over. I am oddly excited about what the future holds. I should say what the Lord has in store for us. I can't keep trying to pull these people with me when they have so obviously made their choice. People change and I was holding on to what our friendship used to be not what it is now (which by the way is ridiculous)!! I have this problem with letting go and living in the past. SO anyhow I guess that its not my hormones after all :)

January 14th




Well today I am about 30 weeks and 4 days pregnant. This little guy is sure kicking the crap out of me :) Being pregnant has been fine so far except now my hips hurt so bad I could cry. Its so hard to even walk up and down the stairs.

We have a couple of names so far that we like
Noah Joseph
OR
Joshua Adam
I would love to know what you think! Here are some pics from a couple of days ago. My belly pic isn't great but I'll get another one soon. I took it myself :)

Russ starts up his last semester this week. Yay! Only a few weeks to go until freedom :)

Some Pictures of my baby boy


jakes dr. appt.

Well we just took jacob to a new doctor this week. I was a little worried to go somewhere else because of the problems we seem to have everywhere we go. (most of you know why)Anyway the nurse came in to look at him and she was very nice. I thought okay lets wait until the doctor comes in. So the nurse weighed him and measured him and stuff. She also asked jake a bunch of questions which I wasn't expecting. He answered all of them. Then she told us that he was in the 93% for height and weight. I was very happy, I thought that he might be underweight. THen she told us that he was a smart little boy and that he was going to smart when he was older. Of course I smiled. Every parent wants to hear that :) Then we met the doctor, he was very nice and also about 80! Which worked to our advantage. He has been around along time, long enough to see when some things are wrong in this world. (of course I mean medically)He didn't say that we were wrong in the choices we were making.I guess the point of this is that sometimes I feel like people judge me for the choices we make as a family. Only because we don't just go along with things like others. We ask questions, do research, PRAY about things concerning our son. Some people are worried about jacob, well I have to laugh cause he is the healthiest kid I know. We don't keep him locked up either. He is around other kids, in the nursery, etc. He doesn't catch anything cause besides colds there is not much else to catch. HE doesn't GIVE anything cause he HAS NOTHING to give. I am glad that I got REAL answers from a doctor. Not the ones that they are trained to give. I am very thankful that the Lord gave me one of his children to look after and raise. I would never take that lightly. Everyday I see jake I tell him "Hey, do you know how lucky I am to be your mom?" He just always says "Yes!". THank you Lord for blessing me abundantly!
