Pregnancy: I'll be 22 weeks tomorrow- yay! Baby girl is moving a ton and is very happy. I've had a few minor issues with blood pressure, which my doctor assures me is normal mid-pregnancy. I've had to make sure I stay very hydrated and rest lots. But other than that, I'm just so thankful to have my appetite back and to be feeling normal!
Halle: My efforts with potty-training have shrunk back due to the tears whenever "undies," or "sitting on the potty" are mentioned. The once excitement for going potty in the potty has dissolved. Halle is telling me now that, "when I 5 I go to kindergarten." I try to tell her that she is only 2 and 5 is a long ways away. She also frequently requests going to the airport or on a plane to see her grandparents. It's so fun to imagine the thoughts that go on inside her head about the baby. She tells every one that, "Mommy has a baby in her belly," and she'll kiss my belly. She also tells me that when little sister gets here, she'll help feed her a bottle. I just wonder how much of that she really grasps.
Me: My basic point of focus is the house and picking things out and wondering where certain things will go, and what we need to buy. I'm so anxious to be settled and to finally have a place to call "home." At church, I'm heading up our Women's Ministry which has been fun. I'm in a women's group reading a book called, "The Search for Significance," which has been really great so far and a chance to go deeper in relationships with other women. We're also launching another group based on the book, "Apples of Gold," which I've been wanting to start for years. It's going to be great and I'm so glad I found a group of women to pull it off. I also joined the Early Childhood PTA, which meets once a month and then has events in-between for moms and their kiddos. There's a few ladies I know who are in it, and it will be a great way to meet new people. So we're staying busy!
Brian: Brian is doing a great job at our new church- it's been wonderful to see him fit so perfectly into a role as the lead pastor. He's making many changes and doing great things. Our new website will be up soon and then I'll post the link so you can check it out. Our church has many needs and our biggest right now is finding a more permanent facility to meet in. We have to set up and tear down each week and it's getting exhausting and limiting for what we want to do as a church. I've never seen a church with so many people serving and giving of their time, and that's amazing to see.
That's about it for now!!
