Getting Ready for Baby

Wow! I'm actually able to breathe again and get back to joining civilization. It's been a long time since I've posted partly due to finishing my semester at TWU, teaching my 2nd graders, and getting all of our stuff out of storage and into our new house (see praise to the left).

I'm now 38 weeks pregnant with 2 more wks until my due date...ah! We still have no idea if it's a boy or a girl...although Clay finally admitted he thinks it's a girl. This conflicts with me thinking it's a boy, so who knows??! I'm going to the dr. every week and the past two weeks I've been 90% effaced and a half cm dilated. The baby is healthy (thank you, Lord) and is weighing a little over 6 lbs. and measuring 19 in. My dr. predicts we'll probably have him/her right after Christmas. I've been feeling great besides the "alien-like" moving going on inside my stomach and I've been super anxious to meet this little baby.

Please pray that whenever I go into labor (preferably when Clay is not on shift at the firestation- although my sister and mom have been staying with me then), that God have his hand on this little baby and keep both of us healthy and somewhat calm.

Clay and my sister are going to do the best they can on getting the word out whenever it happens so keep praying and stay posted.

Love,
Mommy-to-be

Almost to my 3rd Trimester :)

Wow! I'm almost in my 3rd trimester and definitely starting to feel the discomfort of being pregnant. I'm exhausted and out of breath a lot! This baby is kicking non-stop, day and night. Here are some pics that Clay took of me this week at 26 wks pregnant (6 1/2 mths). The monumental moment that we are still waiting for is the morning I wake up and my belly button has popped out! It seems like it's going to happen anyday now! :)

Big Belly!

Our "Babymoon" in Jamaica

Clay and I wanted to go on a trip just the two of us before the baby gets here so we went to Jamaica for a week! Here are some pics!

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." ~Psalm 139:13

Clay and I are so excited to be expecting our first baby. We count this as a huge blessing considering the trials we've been through getting to this point. Our baby is due in early January and we are waiting to find out if it's a boy or a girl. Which one do you think it will be? Take our poll on the left!

Here's our 12 week and 15 week sonogram pictures of Baby Lee.
