Almost every (it seems) email I get for my weekly pregnancy updates mention braxton hicks, those practice contractions pregnant women are supposed to get. My thing is that while I think I was able to notice one or two while in Australia when I was 20 weeks along. Strangely now though I don’t notice anything [...]

Tonight I am going to try REALLY hard to not talk about the baby with Andrew (unless he brings it up–he talks less in general so it is unlikely). We shall see. I think maybe if I start not talking about it all the time I will be more patient.
This Tuesday Andrew leaves for Georgia on business. He gets back Friday. I [...]

The line up
Martha, Andrew and Eric (Missing Lydia and Jacque–somehow I ended up not getting enough with Lydia in them–sorry Lydia!)

Why Tyler loves Andrew
32 weeks
There were 3 births at the birth center Sunday and our friends had their baby, a little girl! Andrew told me on the way home that since they have given birth he is ready for our turn. He wants to see the baby. I concurred. :) This [...]

This is chilling. If you watch this be prepared to cry.
Now all we need is the BABY!

Well, that and the car seat. My parents are coming out next Friday with that. Now I have to wait for the delivery of the most important part.
This afternoon while watching The Business of Being Born I heard the mail man drive up. Tyler barked furiously and I noticed he had several packages in tow. One was [...]
Worthy idols?

Today I was down in a funk. Finally as I was cleaning up the kitchen it dawned on me that I have been idolizing something in my life and yesterday that idol disappointed me again. The thing I had idolized was a good thing-even a godly priority and command in Scripture. It just was that I had put my hope in it [...]

Around 3am I woke up to the baby doing it’s total body conditioning class. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out just what kinds of things it was up to but it was definitely moving–moving–moving! From that point on it was pointless to even try to get comfortable in bed. So I got [...]

This couple’s journey is amazing. It is a three part story. It is especially nice if you have a few things to do around the house and can listen while cooking or cleaning or even laying down on the couch for a rest (ahh!).

The past few days I have a very sore back [...]

At 30 weeks pregnant stage, you are in the middle of your third trimester or in the 8th month of your pregnancy. So you have only 9 or 10 more weeks to go before the delivery or child birth. As you are in the final stages of pregnancy, you will become very restless and start [...]
Piggies and a bake-a-thon

I don’t know why but I found it incredibly funny when I found that one of the many, many, many, many webpages up on our computer the past few days is entitled “The Kansas Guide to Swine Nutrition”. Ahhaah. It isn’t as strange sounding to those of you who know that Andrew loves farming and his dad raises hogs. [...]
