Lately

Update:

These last few weeks have been full of ups and downs.  Lindsay Lewis passing away was very hard.  I continue to think of her 2 precious boys (Brody-2 yrs & Cash- 11 mths) and her loving husband, Gabe.  Please help me pray for this God-fearing family.  Gabe has shown the utmost strength in the Lord.  I am confident he and the boys will be just fine, but they will need prayers!
This week I am 18 weeks and folks, I grew a sweet potato!!!  I am so excited that we are almost half way there. We still have to wait to find out the gender until Oct. 11.  It seems like the longest wait of my life.  My sister asked me if it was as bad as waiting for my wedding to come, but it was so different.  With the wedding, I was so busy planning, prepping, and buying, that it kept me occupied.  It's hard to do anything fun without knowing what the sex will be.  I cannot paint the room, pick out bedding, or decorate the nursery.  I am super excited for this part.  Hopefully it will get here soon.  I attached a picture that Marc took last week.  (Please excuse the crazy hair, I dropped my straighter and just bought a new one yesterday.)  A few people has asked for a picture of the baby bump, so here ya go!  It really just popped out like 2 weeks ago.  I was growing little by little, but then about week 16 my tummy just shot out. 
I am loving being pregnant!  It's the best experience (so far).  I am anxious to feel the baby move.  I lay in bed in the mornings and at night concentrating to try and feel that angel fluttering around.  When did you all feel your baby move for the first time?  Shouldn't be around this time?? 

I am dying for a Carmel apple spice from Starbucks this morning, so I am making Marc come with me to go get one.  Have a wonderful day!!!!
