A Whole lot of Waiting!

Here we go... you guessed it we have to hurry up and wait. God's blessed us in so many ways. Lori has not been sick much, she's stayed fairly active, thankfully she's not had any cravings like pickles and jalepeno ice cream, cigarette ashes, cotton balls, dirt, dryer lint, or anything else for that matter. Saturday night was the strangest of the whole pregnancy, I couldn't sleep, and Lori was up throughout the night so at 3:45 a.m. we were sitting on the side of the bed talking and drinking chocolate milk.

We are so excited about the new little baby God has blessed us with, we can hardly wait until we can see her face. I had a breakdown Saturday night, i pictured Ashlyn with chubby legs and cheek, pale skin, and the most beautiful red hair. I just bawled, (I'm a big baby). If you know me I do not want a red headed baby, but if her hair is like it was in my mind, I'll be okay.

God IS Good. Thank you Lord for a healthy Wife and a Healthy baby so far.

Almost There

We went to the doctor for the last two week interval. Now its every week! (By every week I mean, three more times, yes three more times!!!) We have 3 weeks and 5 more days until the due date. By the look of my glowing wife, she may deliver a little early. She is so good, she hasn't complained at all until here recently, the swelling is getting to her, so we're taking it easy for the next couple of weeks, and praying that God gives her strength to make it a few more weeks.
Our church gave us a diaper/wipe shower a few weeks ago which was very needful, we got so many of each, but I'm sure we'll run out in a month or so. Two weeks ago her family and friends gave her a shower and good gracious we got a bunch of stuff. We have a few things in two or three different sizes that we really like so we'll keep all of them. God has really blessed us so much with so many friends and family. I'm told that my work is going to give us another shower at the end of this month, so that will be more things we can use. One of the Salesmen at work gave us and another couple a half case of wipes, (I love to smell baby wipes). I'll try to keep you up-to-date, God bless you and take care.
