doctor visit!

We went to the doctor yesterday for an ultrasound. It was sooo awesome! We didn't get any 4D pics with Molly so it's really cool to see. Here are a few pics:


I just LOVE looking at my baby! Dr. Smith looked to see whether it was a boy or girl...but he said it was still too early to tell. I thought I saw some little boy parts but it all kinda looks the same at this stage.

I've been feeling pretty good...havent thrown up since the Habachi place. I just can't sleep at night. I think my body is getting into a routine of waking up at 4:00am every night and I'm not happy about it!!! And the crazy dreams are still here! I won't go into detail but believe me, they are crazy!!!

I think I might make it Facebook official this weekend. I've called my Grandma; I just need to call 1 more aunt.

lyrics

So I was sitting at my desk with my Pandora playing. It was on a random radio station. I have a habit of liking songs that have a really catchy melody without even knowing the lytics. So I decided to google a few song lyrics. Shocking...and I'm not talking about cuss words or sexual inuindo. I'm talking about people who truely lost and searching for something. Here are a few lyrics I saw:

"Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in."

"I believe in nothing; not in sin and not in God."

And these are popular songs on the radio!That's just crazy to me!

Jonathon and I have been praying a lot lately about where God is calling us. Right now I have an incredibly job as a children's minister at an amazing church. But we have always felt led to missions. So we're praying that in maybe the next 5 years God would prepare us to go somewhere. I don't know if it's overseas or here in North America...bc just listening to those lyrics today made me realize just how many people here are lost and searching for the truth. I makes me truely feel blessed that I have a job where I have the opportunity to share Jesus with our children every week!

not so hot!

Today I have set a record for throwing up. Yucky!!!

It started this morning. I ate a bagel and was fine. I was hungry a little later on the way to work so I poured a bowl of lucky charms to take with me. I got to the end of the street, took a bite of cereal, and knew it was over. I put the car in park, opened the door, poured out the cereal on the street, and then up came my bagel in my cereal bowl. I thought I was done...wrong!!!

I got to work and felt much better. I took the elevator up to the 3rd floor and felt a little jolt in my tummy. I walked in our staff meeting long enough to set my stuff down and went straight to the bathroom. I think I threw up the other half of my bagel. So I felt a lot better and sat through staff meeting.

So we went to lunch as a staff. I stepped out of the car at Ronin Habachi (one of my fav's) and felt it coming. So I headed straight to the bathroom. I have never experienced throwing up my mouth before...until today. I held it in until the bathroom and then I threw up some bagel remnents. Then I ate my habachi meal.

That's it so far. But 3 times in a morning is definitely a record for me!!!

PS..sorry if this is really gross!!!

love the spring!

So yesterday was a GORGEOUS Sunday afternoon! We came home from church, put Molly down for a nap, and went straight outside. We walked around the yard and started listing our Spring projects. It's a pretty good list but at the top of the list: Deck or patio!

We're still not sure which to do. We have a huge backyard but need a nice space to grill and eat outside.  We just can't decide which to put in. A deck would be more upfront labor (for Jonathon) but pretty low maintenance. A patio would be pretty easy to do but with a patio comes more flower beds. Hmmm. So what did we do....went to Lowe's! Don't tell my parents but I have grown to LOVE Lowe's. We were forced to go as children for what felt like hours and hours of torture. But it's totally different when you have your own house and lots of projects.

Jonathon and I are both off this Thursday so there will be some serious yard work going on! Will post pics of final product!
