A Few Updates...

I found out yesterday that I am going to have a niece! Chris and Kristina got the news at their appointment yesterday and I couldn't be happier for them. I just keeping thinking how lucky we are that our babies will grow up together and, hopefully, become really good friends! Of course, knowing what they're having just makes me want to know what my bundle of joy is even more, but it's definitely worth the wait. After all, I only need to wait another 10 weeks and I have a feeling that the time will go by very quickly.

I have no new pictures because, honestly, I just don't feel like having my picture taken lately. I know I need to take one soon so I can document this whole experience, but it's still hard to stand in front of a camera when my belly feels so big!

Speaking of my belly...it is becoming increasingly interesting to watch it as the baby moves inside. He or she is moving a lot lately and it's not just at night anymore - it's all the time! I can feel it anytime I am remotely still; almost as if it's trying to say "I'm still here mommy!" And although I can feel him or her moving all throughout the day now, it still seams to move a lot more at night or when I'm lying down. It's really kind of cute because whatever side I lie on it kicks or punches my side until I turn to the other side. It waits a few minutes and then starts doing the same thing on that side. I've concluded that the baby just doesn't like it when I lie on it! At first I was honestly a little annoyed by it but now that the time seams to be going by so quickly I'm really enjoying the feeling of this little thing moving so much inside of me; even if it keeps me up at night :-)

Besides preparing for the baby, Rob and I have had a lot of things going on these past few months; the most important one being finding Rob a new job. Since he was laid off back in the beginning of December life as been different because Rob has obviously been home a lot more than usual. And to be honest, I am going to miss him when he does find a job and go back to work. It's been nice to just hang out and sleep in together (and we all know that Rob loves to sleep in...) as well as spend our days relaxing and talking about our new life as we become parents. But as much as I will miss these times we've had together I really feel blessed that we have been able to spend this time with each other without being too stressed about money or his job situation. He had an interview this week with Northeastern Seminary and we are really praying that everything will fall into place with this job. If it doesn't, then we'll just keep looking and pray that God will open up a door for him sometime soon. Everything happens for a reason and we trust that as we remain faithful to Him, He will continue to provide for us.

I'll be sure to keep updating on Rob's job as well as what's happening with the baby!
