For now...

Hello to all!

I've been wanting to post all the new happenings around here for those of you that are, for some reason, interested. :)  But I just haven't found the time somehow. :(  So, I will just tell of the more important part of things.

Yes, I am still pregnant. :)  Yay for me! Although, I am quite eager to meet this lil one who is, at the moment, playing banjo on my ribs. :) haha   All is going well with the pregnancy. My body seems to be following the same pattern that it did with Simeon, so that's interesting. If it continues to do so, I should have this baby this week....but we all know how those things go. Knowing me and the Lord's sense of humor,  :)  I'll probably go a week over my due date! HAHA

We've been trying to work with Simeon so that its not a total shock when the baby does come, but that's not been working quite as great as we were hoping. He is still VERY attatched to me....which is quite sweet but hopefully he doesn't take his jealousy out on the baby when he/she arrives! : /

I love the little miracles of pregnancy and childbirth! It's very exciting...even though it can be trying and tiring at times. I was pondering the miracle of love last night. God gives me moments of overwhelming love for this one that I've never even met, seen or spoken with... and yet, I love him/her more than I can express at times. I think that is amazing! Does that happen in 'normal' life?

One blessing in this 'pre-term labor' thing is that Chad has been able to stay home since it all started. He had 3 trips planned for late September and early October but cancelled it all when we were advised to do so by our doctor. Now he has been able to do his work from home for the last 2 months rather than travelling! Yay! That's always so nice to have him home! The bad news though, is that he will have to make up for lost time after baby comes. :(  It's hard to think about all the travelling starting again and me having 2 babies to care for myself! :(  So lonely when he's gone! I know the Lord will give grace as always though.

We've been very busy with the building of our new home in Palo. My brothers are making progress on it and Chad has been helping and keeping busy with it a lot lately. Things are going a bit slower than we were hoping, but going very well still. It's a lot of work for my 2 brothers!! It's a very big house and we aren't the only people they are working for right now! Busy, busy.

It's hard to believe that it's going to be November soon!!! YIKES! Here comes the cold winter....and the 'sick season'. -Something that I am NOT looking forward to with a new baby! :(

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully I will be posting pictures of our new baby very soon!!! :D
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for us! We pray for you.
