9 weeks later...
... and I am ready to blog again!!
First of all, a big THANKS to everyone who commented on my last entry. I actually had no idea that so many of you checked here every once in a while. It's pretty cool the connection this little blogging world has brought us!
Well, what should I say to wrap up the last two months in a nutshell?
My brother got engaged!! To Courtney (see pics a couple posts ago). We are really excited for them, but not half as excited as they are. They are really cute together, its really fun for me to see my brother so happy! The wedding is in July and should be tons of fun.
On the same day a while ago a co-worker/fellow church member (same person) and my Opa died. It was a hard week with two funerals and family coming in. It was a good reminder though, how you have to live life to the fullest and make your life a testimony to your faith.
I decided not to go to the Bethany Alumni soccer tournament. Every year I really think I will go and every year I don't for various reasons. It makes me kind of sad because it's something I really want to do. We were also going to take our youth group to Bethany's youth encounter but that didn't work out either. Maybe next year....
Baby stuff...
so far so good. I often tell people that if every pregnancy was as good as mine, there'd be a lot more babies in the world. No side effects of any kind! YAY! Then everyone tells me that I have no idea how lucky I am, and I know that's true.
I have learnt a good lesson in trusting God during this new stage of life for me. I was really really paranoid about a miscarriage at the beginning. Over and over again I was reminded that there was really nothing I could do or not do to keep baby safe. All I could do was trust God that He would take care of it and the right thing would happen. Four weeks ago I heard the heartbeat and for the last couple weeks I have felt movement, and its funny how once we have our own assurance, that trust is quick to disappear. I am still trusting (a lot) and remembering the lessons I learnt, but its so easy to just rely on the other signs we have. Is that bad? I don't know. Maybe God also gives us those signs as assurance that He is there and He cares.
On Feb. 1 I have my ultrasound and we are going to (hopefully) find out if its a boy or girl. I can't wait for that day to come! I'll be sure to write and let you all know!!

I have been waiting for you to update!! I am so happy for you, and so glad everything is going well! You sound really happy and content and I really debated going to the alumni thing too, I thought it might be nice to see everyone... oh well, like you said, maybe next year!
Hey Gorgeous,
Glad to hear that you haven't disappeared! I was starting to wonder what was up, I thought for sure you would blog more often(being pregnant). It is good to hear you are feeling good and that you have felt movements and heard the heartbeat. Are you guys getting a nursery ready? Are you going to post some pregnancies pics so we can see you change? We really look forward to meeting the new member of the family, we are praying for all three of you!
Love you,
Naomi and Fam.

Someone just told me in class today that 24 is a good age to have a baby and then asked me if I was there yet. . . guess we missed out on that, but hope it turns out ok anyways ;-) can't wait to hear the news, and i'll be sure to let everyone out here know -- they were already asking!! hey, I went to COSTCO here this weekend -- bagels and super muffins, plus a kg of cheddar cheese. this is one happy girl. ok, i won't take up all the comment space. . . love ya!!
Congrats Bob and James!!! How exciting!! I look forward to keeping up with your blog and all of the exciting updates along the way. Enjoy your pregnancy. And yeah, I hope to see some pics too - keep us posted.
