Only 5 1/2 more weeks to go! We cannot believe it...Luke will be here before we know it! It's really starting to sink in more because other people who were due shortly before me now have their babies. Jonathan's sister had her baby girl (Julia Elizabeth) about a week ago. It's her third (but first girl!) and grandbaby #8. Poor thing only gets to be the youngest grandkid for a month or so until Luke comes! My old college roommate Erin and her husband had their first this past weekend. Also a girl, Emma Grace. We're so excited for everyone and it makes us even more excited about ours!Jonathan got to come with me to the doc this morning. He says everything looks great. Luke was extremely active during the appointment. It took the doctor a while to track down his heartbeat long enough to get a reading! It was 160--the highest it's been, but probably because he was so active and that's his awake heartbeat.We have a huge praise financially! School gets out in about a week, so our extra income from my subbing (although not huge) will be gone. But, Jonathan will be able to pick up extra hours at work that will replace, if not exceed, that loss of income! He's going to be seeing a few extra clients per week (about 5 extra hours). So instead of having every Friday off, he figures he'll have about every other Friday off. And he gets paid a lot more hourly for these clients. Hopefully we'll be getting the internet soon, which will be another praise because he can do a lot of his paperwork online, which would mean working from home some!I think that's all the updates for now. We are just feeling really blessed. It's awesome to see how God provides!
Well, my first Mother's Day was pretty good. My parents sent me a card, which was nice. Poor Jonathan wasn't sure if I qualified as a mother yet or not, so only after some berating from his older sister did he realize that he did, in fact, need to acknowledge this day! :) I got a sweet homemade card around 11pm Sunday night telling me what a great mother I will be to Luke. Thanks hon! :)I went to the doc yesterday and everything is pretty much the same. Nothing too exciting to report except that Luke is healthy and everything looks normal at this point. I go back in two weeks and hopefully Jonathan will be able to come to that one. We have one more week left of our childbirth classes. We got to tour the hospital this past Monday. It was nice to know where we will be at for the big event! Kinda freaky, too, though, knowing that it will really happen....and soon!
I went to the doctor today and everything is looking good with Luke and I. I didn't gain much weight this past month, so that's good. I feel like I'm back on track now, thankfully. My doctor said my glucose test came back fine and that I am normal sizewise. That's a relief, because Jonathan was convinced we were having twins, I was so big! :) I go back in two weeks now instead of four!! Less than 10 weeks to go!
Well, Jonathan and I are recovering from a hectic, but fun, weekend. It started out Thursday night with Jonathan's birthday. He's the big 2-7 and feeling a little old. :) We didn't really get to celebrate his b-day because he had to work a 12 hour day and didn't get home til nearly 9pm. Too late for a party with family, considering that's bedtime for the kids. I did make him dinner, though, and had two fancy chocolate cupcakes I bought at the store with candles for him to blow out. Friday morning, we got up and headed to Indiana. On Saturday we went to IWU to see my brother graduate. That was fun being back on campus, though it's hard to believe it's been four years since we graduated! After graduation, we all went to Outback to celebrate Jacob's graduation, Jonathan's birthday and my sister's 19th birthday (which is today, actually--Happy Birthday, Em!). Next we headed out for Cincy to visit our good friends Adam and Tonya and the Chrises for the rest of the weekend (Jonathan took Monday off work, so we had a little extra time). We had a great visit with everyone and got to meet the Chris and Chris' new little girl, Linnea, who was born back in February. We all went frisbee golfing on Saturday and I must say, we were quite a sight! We brought Peyton along with us, so we had two strollers, a dog, and a pregnant lady waddling around. What has happened to us?? haha
