17 Weeks

So, as always, time is still flying by.

We're 17 weeks along today....nothing really feels different! I'm feeling great. We're so anxious for our next appointment (2 weeks, 1 day!!) :) YAY!

I've been a little more tired lately than usual, since I've been watching little Sofi. She's a tiny little muffin, but is quite heavy for her age - so I'm pretty warn out at the end of each day! :)

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE! PRAISE GOD! We've been enjoying the nice weather so much already. Last weekend we grilled on Saturday down in DC with Jason and Kristin...and Sunday we grilled at Pete and Jess' house. Felt so nice to finally be outside, enjoying some sun!

I wish there was more to tell....but for now that really is about it. Beto is doing well...busy with work, but doing very well.

Hopefully soon there will be more I can share with you guys.

15 Weeks

So just had our third prenatal doctor's appointment yesterday (4th month check-up). It was my favorite visit so far! I should probably add too that Beto and I both like my Doctor SOOO much! I'm so happy that out of all the MANY I could've chosen from, I seemed to have picked just the right one for me. Just another blessing from God! He is so funny, and so very, very kind. He gives us all the time in the world, talks our ears off, and always, always, ALWAYS, is smiling. He is so nice. He predicted the baby to be a boy - based on the heartbeat (totally not proven to be accurate, but supposedly if the heart beat is slower, it's usually a boy. Faster, it's a girl.) The Dr. said the baby's heart was beating at 140 bpm, although, I'm not sure that was 100% accurate, because the baby wouldn't stay still long enough for us to hear it for very long! :) I had no idea the baby moved so much already. The Dr. had to follow around, looking from place to place, as the baby moved inside. Aw, melts my heart!

Anyway, now it's the countdown, because at our next appointment, we find out the sex. We're SO excited!! Yay!

Things have been well. This week I started taking care of little Sofi (Strickland), while Camille's at work. I'll be watching her for three weeks. She's so precious, and I'm so glad to be able to have this time with her! She's growing so much everyday!

Good Friday

Thank you JESUS for the price you paid at Calvary!

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 3:16

On this day many years ago, Jesus Christ gave you and I the greatest gift that can be given to mankind. He offered Himself as a substitute for our sins. He died on the cross to pay our debt so that we may live with hope and have a chance for eternal life in Heaven. On the third day, He conquered death, and ROSE AGAIN! He created us, He loves us, He died for us, He rose again for us and He wants us to live in Heaven for eternity with Him someday.

God, I'll never know how much it cost, to see my sin upon that cross. THANK YOU!

Second Trimester Begins

Today I am 14 weeks, and beginning my second trimester! Wow! Time goes by so quickly. I've been feeling great, and growing a little more everyday! (I feel like I look larger in pictures than I actually am though. Maybe?? :) Who knows!) My next appointment is next week, and we can't wait to hear the heartbeat again, and to most of all, make sure all is progressing well. 

People say that the second trimester is always when you feel your best. I can't really imagine feeling any better than I already have been, so if that's possible, then I gladly welcome the second trimester!! 

God is so great - Thank you Lord for this healthy pregnancy! We're so blessed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAQUELITA!

Happy Birthday Quels! I wish I were there to celebrate with you! Love you and miss you!!!
