My kids sent home flowers with Wes. They're already just about dead, but it was sweet!!

I did it!

I caught the flu bug or whatever's going around. Stayed home from school yesterday and slept all day. Feeling better today, but decided not to push it...still feelin' a little queasy...may go in later. All I gotta say is...I'm so glad I didn't have morning sickness!!!

Rude Awakening!!!

Instead of setting your alarm clocks, how about getting shook awake by an earthquake? Think that would wake you up?? Only problem is...you can't hit the Snooze button.

About 5:30 this morning, Wes and I (including baby) were abruptly startled out of our slumber by the sounds of our wall about to cave in! Ok...so maybe when you wake up, you don't have all your senses, but we felt the tremor from the earthquake in Illinois. Wes thought the tree had fallen on our house, then he thought we were having a tornado, then realized we were shaking because of another natural disaster. At least, he claims that's what all the shaking was...I'm pretty sure part of it was us clinging, in fright, to each other wondering what was going on! :) I guess it was a pretty big one.
Wes has been keeping tabs on it today, because it started about 6 miles from one of his close friends back home. Guess it rattled all their canning in the basement causing a fine mess. Yuck!

It's a beautiful day here and I'm off to do some cleaning! This weekend promises to be very busy!!!

I About Died...

LAUGHING when Janet asked Wesley to help her in Jr. Church today. Wesley and I, along with Darrin, took over Jr. Church for the month of April. We have been studying "Heroes of Faith" and along with that our community helpers. (See Karen W's blog for previous posts).

Today we talked about Jesus healing Jairus's daughter. So our "hero" today was the nurse. Janet did an excellent job telling the kids about some of the things she gets to do and about how Jesus helps her to witness.

After, she gave a fun little demonstration about hand washing. This is where Wesley comes in.

This is the hospital bear, Sunny. He helped Janet demonstrate how to correctly wash your hands.

We had 4 brand new kids come today! Some of the workers went calling yesterday to find some new kids. The kids seemed to really enjoy it and we hope they come back!!!

Big Mamma!

Well, I've reached the half way mark, and all I gotta say is I'm going to be HUGE!!! (I'm particularly enjoying how the back half is growing just as big as the front...NOT!!!) The time has actually flew by, with the only thing being accomplished is her having more clothes than her mamma-thanks to my sisters!! They just about bought her entire wardrobe on their first trip...but, lots of fun and oh, so cute!! I'm hoping that once some "life" issues are resolved that I can start planning the baby's room.

I "think" I might be starting to feel her move, but still am not sure on that. I'm pretty sure she was partying last night while I was laying in bed. Wes told her to be a good girl and go to sleep and I didn't feel anymore...hope we're not getting a night owl. :) (Guess that's better than a goat...lol...my poor child!)

Drum Roll Please...

Since I'm sure you're all awaiting with hearts pounding, chests heaving, breath shallow, etc. as to what we are having...

We're having a goat! (Seriously...does that not look like a goat?)

45 Mins Later...Ok, I'm about to lose patience! It's taken me 45 mins to load this and it's not even the good picture! I'm going to try again, but you may only get to see the "goat."

Ok! That's it! I've officicially ran out of patience! An hour? Seriously??? Only 1 picture!!??? Grrrrrrrrr.........this is all your gonna get for now! Sorry family members who've been running up my "site meter" checking. :) Technology around here is as slow as molasses!!! I could have ran faster than this and you could have seen the pictures in person! Perhaps I'll try again later!

Oh...by the way...

I guess y'all probably are wondering what the baby is still...

We did the "Old Wives' Tales" book and it was right by 2 points...

Still wondering...

Maybe I'll just make you read this long annoying post and then not tell you...how would that be?

Think that would be nice???...

It's a GIRL!!!!
