BABY UPDATE: 23 weeks….

we had a regular mid-wives visit today at the local birthing center. apparently our baby is sitting so low that it makes Amanda have to pee like once or twice an hour. the Midwife said the baby is using Amanda’s bladder as a trampoline! i can’t imagine what that must be like. we thought Amanda may have had a bladder infection…come to find out it’s just our baby getting some exercise with the aid of Amanda’s bladder…intense!

yes yes…guilty of slow posting…

hopefully we will pick up the posting soon!

“Expelled,” new Ben Stein movie…

worth checking out, very interesting take on Darwinism, Intelligent Design, science, education, and alot in between…

headed to DC…but coming back KC…

 

this weekend I’ll (steve) be flying back to Bowie, MD to pick up a pick-up truck that was graciously donated to Amanda and I by my aunt Terri and uncle Sack.  This is an awesome testimony of the Lord’s provision in our lives since we had been praying for a vehicle to replace our 95 Toyota Camry before our baby comes in August. 

Without even asking supporters, friends, and family for special financial donations or gifts, God provided a vehicle!  God is good.

So, I’ll be flying into Baltimore on Thursday morning, spending time with family Thursday and Friday and then making the 22hr drive from DC to KC beginning sometime Saturday!

here’s baby Maybe.

Yesterday we had our sonogram to see what the gender of our baby is.  To our surprise we still don’t really know.  Baby Maybe, as our friend Kaitlyn so apptly named it, was so comfortably curled up in the fetal position the sonographer could not get a good shot.  She said she thinks it’s a girl, but “don’t go painting the room pink or anything.”  She did not seem convinced and nor were we.  So we’ll keep waiting and maybe in a month or so will get another sonogram to verify.  On the otherhand, it was super fun seeing the frame of this little child the Lord is creating.  I can’t believe I have a human growing in me.  That’s crazy!  Anyway, to see more pictures of baby Maybe check out our baby blog.  Otherwise we’ll keep you posted as we find out more details.  -Amanda
