31 weeks....

Went to the dr today and was thrilled!! We had an ultrasound to see how Abigail is growing and she is perfect! She weighs about 3lbs 15oz!!! So, the dr estimated that she will weigh about 71/2 lbs when born. In the sonogram, she had her hand over one side of her face, and my heart ached to hold her! It was an adorable picture.
We are still praying about New York. Please keep us in your prayers.

30 weeks and so not ready!!! :)

Well, I am on my 30th week and can not believe that this baby will be here soon!!! I am not ready at all, but I plan to be after the holidays!!!:)
We got back from our trip to NY safe and sound. It was wonderful. The people really took care of us. We are just praying for God's perfect will. Hopefully we will know something by January.
According to my email, Abi is about 15.6 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds. A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in my belly. Her eyesight continues to develop though its not very keen; even after she is born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she will respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision- which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face.
These emails continue to amaze me.
Alex is doing well. He is growing beyond leaps and bounds. He made us laugh today with: "Mommy, Daddy, Gramma put presents in the socks!!!" Meaning she puts stuff in our stockings!!! lol
Aaron has grown taller and slimmer. He is saying more words, but not sentences. He is my little monster.
Hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas. Please enjoy every minute you have with your family!!

28 weeks

Well, I am 281/2 weeks!!! Abi will be here before I know it and I am NOT ready!!! lol
Abi should weigh about 21/4 lbs and measures about 14.8 inches long. She can open and close her eyes, which now has lashes!! ( this is all my email said!) Short, huh? lol

Our trip to NY is going alright. We are staying with some pretty awesome people! They have 8 grandchildren ages 14-19 yrs old. So they understand how rowdy my boys can be! I am so thankful that they have been so understanding! We have had dinner with a different church member each day! It has been interesting! The NY accent is not too hard to understand, they just talk FAST! lol We have enjoyed being here. We are still praying for Gods perfect will. If we are invited to come, we wont know until about January 1st. The Trustee committee is meeting Monday night to decide if they want to bring it before the church on whether to vote on us. We are diligently praying!! These people are wonderful and they have proven that they really take care of their pastor! Over the last couple of years, they have remodeled the parsonage and it is beyond beautiful!!! So roomy! I fell in love with it!

They boys have done as well as can be expected with staying in someone wlses house. I am so proud of them.

I am doing alright. Just trying to get used to sticking my finger! Not fun!!!

Hope all of you have a wonderful week!

Im sorry I disappeared...

We have had alot going on , which is why I havent been blogging lately.

Right now, we are in New York at a motel. We will finish the trip tomorrow. Stan is preaching Sunday, Wednesday and Sunday. We will be staying at a church members house. Please pray for my sanity... not sure how my boys will act at someone else's house!!! Hope I am not pulling my hair out!

I went to the dr Wednesday for the 3 hr blood sugar test.... I failed. :( Therefore I have the gestational diabetes. I have to count how many carbs I eat each meal and check my blood sugar 4 times a day. I dont know how mom did this finger sticking thing!!! :)

The boys are doing well. Alex is getting tall! He is so excited about Christmas! Aaron is saying different individual words. He is quite the little comic!

Take care everyone!
