Overdue Update

It's been far too long since my last post.  Sorry about that - for all you few who are actually keeping up with our blog on baby.

Shew………….life is busy…….…..and we don’t even have kids yet!!!  Commitments and priorities are definitely gonna have to shift a bit when this little one comes along so that we can have sanity in our home and rest in our souls :)

Since the last time I posted:

-My brother has moved back to TN after over 10 years of living hours away in other states – YAY!

-Nick’s parents came for a short visit and were the first to tell me I had the “pregnancy glow.” 

-I’ve spent hours and hours writing my weekly newspaper column and also a (hopefully contest-winning) article about some friends who are adopting a special-needs child.

-Nick has been working lots of overtime and going in to work extremely early in the morning.  That added to my pregnancy fatigue makes us a sleepy sight to behold come about 7:30 every night!

-I went away with about 20 women from church on a Beth Moore retreat.  So, so much fun.  Love my church family!

-I went shopping with mom for maternity clothes.  The shop had an 8-month bump that I could Velcro on to figure out what clothes would fit in my third trimester.  I rather enjoyed seeing myself looking pregnant :) 

-We passed the 14-week mark!!!  As of now the baby is about the size of a lemon - OMG!  He's also beginning to grow hair, making facial expressions, and probably starting to suck his thumb.

This coming Saturday will be 15 weeks.  As promised, I’ll post another picture of my belly growth – or lack thereof.
