33 weeks= Only 7 more to go!

Wednesday, April 15--Tax Day!

Went to the doctor and she said I am doing well. The file is skinny with minimal notes and no issues, she said she likes patients like me! I like being a simple case too! Thank God for that!
I am SOOOO slowing down. I can't do all the things I use to do anymore. I am loving this cool spring weather (NOT the cold weather!) and just patiently awaiting the time to whip out my flip flops. (and be able to wear the nicer sandals to work!) My feet are big, but otherwise I am feeling super great.

The baby had the hiccups yesterday---and I think he gets them in the afternoon about 3 times per week. (Although, I can't say for sure). He was hiccuping on the side of my belly for about 10 minutes! It was so cute. I just loved it!

7 weeks to go and counting! Baby showers are: Thursday, April 23 at work!, Sunday, April 26th in DuQuoin and then Saturday, May 2 in Tremont! Come by any of them for some chocolate cake!

I don't have any super updated pics at the moment, so I will work on that. The KC boys didnt share any of their pics from their phone with me.....hmmmm...boys? Any pics from your trip to STL? LMK!

Here are a few pictures of Melissa, my work friend at SLU, and I. This was last fall when we were acting silly after eating too many chocolate fruit cups! I was thinking of these photos because I wanted to wear this dress to my showers.....but remembered that I won't fit! Ah well!

Good One
Ah! More chocolate!

The food was SOOO good!

New Diapers Links!

For those who need or want to request some extra diapers! Here are two different links!

Yes, through Walmart again here
And through Huggies here!

Enjoy or request some to your house for others to enjoy!

Yanni Voices

I got a CD to review and wanted to write a quick blurb about it! I got Yanni Voices and thought I would share with the fam that it is uplifting and soothing! I think the baby boy likes it too! We will be listening while he is here in June and crying : )

First big boy haircut!

So, I missed the biggest milestone in my nephew's life. His NEW haircut! I mean, seriously, he was looking so much like a girl that everyone thought he was a baby girl with his cute pouty face and long curls! I wish I could have seen the transformation first hand, but photos work good too!
Here is the rockstar (minus the sad face.....this is a good pic though! Thanks to Noah's daddy!)

Babe, I mean BIG BOY Noah's FIRST haircut!

Cameron and his two friends from KC are visiting this weekend. I'm sure we will have some cool pictures of the City Musee and other fun activities with the boys. Safe travels!!

We have TONS to be thankful for in April! And lots on our hearts too. We hope you can keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We are super thankful for a continued healthy pregnancy (minus the swollen feet!), for the beautiful weather, for seeing family and friends, and for all other great things God has provided.

We would like to pray for Lum's shoulder healing, wisdom for our baby's name and future caretaker, Bill's life that is so quickly heading up hill for him!, baby Kyra, three babies Hardee, (work) Katie, Jason and Amy's new babies, financial wisdom, understanding God's new challenges in our lives, our marriage to continue to grow, Jerret's classes/finals, our new pastor and his family, pregnant friends, friends who have houses to sell (Laura/Greg and Heather/JR), friends who are closing or moving into a new house, friends and family members who need jobs and those who need God in their lives too.

Friends and Family!

So we have had LOTS of friends and family visit lately. It is so great to see them all and we are so lucky to be blessed with them in our lives. Last weekend, Eric from D.C. (and Jerret's old college roommate) visited for the Missouri Valley Conference! We watched SIU-C lose, but it was a good time! The boys continued their fun and we had a SIUC reunion dinner of sorts at Atomic Cowboy. YUM!

GO SIUC!


The SIUC gang at Atomic Cowboy in St Louis after the game Friday!

This past weekend Mike, Jerret's dad, and his new wife Ashley visited! We had such a great time hanging out, shopping for baby stuff and relaxing! We had a great time seeing them!!!

Mike and Ashley got us a BEAUTIUFL new dresser and changing table in one :)

They also got us the lovely crib (that matches!) earlier in the year! Baby is blessed!

Ashely hanging some cute POOH stuff on the walls!

Stephanie and Ashley!

Babies baby!

Wednesday, March 4
So, we have been busy with pregnant friends and keeping up with their deliveries and fun stuff! Katie had her three boys (see link on the side) and Julie is still awaiting the arrival of her little boy! My friend Jason just had his son last night and I got to see him THIS MORNING! I was at the doc and ran down to see him while awaiting my glucose screening! SO exciting to see all the little ones : )
Here are some great pictures from my trip to Tremont to see Ma, Dad, Bill and Noah! Please continue to pray for Noah's health--he had a fever seizure and was in the ER! Lum is still recovering from his shoulder surgery and we have lots of family and friends who need jobs! Please keep us in your prayers!
