This may be the last time I can do this!

Just giving Roman another way to look at life...keepin' it real!

 

26 week bump

This pic was taken last night...I'm in the middle of my 26th week. Roman is growing so fast. I love it when he wakes me up in the morning with his little gentle kicks. He doesn't kick at night...just a little before I go to bed, nothing at night, then he wakes me up with kicks in the morning. Maybe it's his way of saying that he's hungry! He is such a good boy. I love him soooo much!

 

Rock Band Fun!

Last night we had so much fun playing Rock Band. We even had a chick band going for a while too! Eunice, Jen and I sang a couple songs...that was funny! Jen knew most of the lyrics to one of the songs while Eunice and I belted out the chorus!

 

 

 

Springfield, MO trip

One last trip before Roman arrives! We flew out of Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport by our house. Turns out, it was cheaper to fly and it is only 10 minutes away! Plus, parking was a breeze and only $5 per day! The only downfall is that the airline we used (Allegiant Air) only flies to select cities.

While in MO we visited Chad's friends from high school again. Cindy and Jason Smith (and all their family) were so kind to us and the pancakes we had on Sunday morning before church were delicious (as always!). Cindy's parents even had some cute kitties for me to play with. Too bad Chad wouldn't let me take one home. :( Cindy's mom was so sweet to me...on top of being so kind and welcoming she made me a diaper cake! It was adorable. There was even a little hand-made knitted bottle holder..beyond cute! I couldn't fit it in my luggage so they said they would ship it to us! After another yummy home-made meal (red, beans and rice), the guys went golfing...I heard it was a blast, despite the cold! And to top the day off, we all met at Cindy's house for another great meal and some apple pie! What a great day it was! Then we visited Steve and Carrie Brown. They too welcomed us into their home for some yummy burgers and entertainment from their daughter, Kira. She would run around chasing the cat. If she was successful in catching him, she would try to put him a cupboard...then laugh and laugh and laugh! Good times! We even got to see their newest addition...their son, Cody who is 4 months old and a hefty, healthy 20lbs (almost)!

We were able to stop by the ranch and roam around a bit. We even saw a huge 10 point deer (a deer with 10 antlers)! It was amazing! Overall, the weather was gorgeous and the company was delightful! Thanks to all of them.

 

 

 

 

 

25 week bump

We went to Missouri and stayed in the Walnut Inn Bed and Breakfast. This pic was taken in the room!

 

What's your Cardboard Testimony?

Watch this video! It's awesome! Be sure to have some tissues handy. This video reminds me of the great things God has done in our lives...He is so worthy of our praise! If you don't know Jesus all you have to do is go to HIM just as you are (imperfect, sinful, whatever..)and accept His son, Jesus, to be your savior from all your sins. God loves you no matter what you've done or experienced in the past!

24 week bump!

So I've been feeling great and haven't had any cravings as of yet...I still think they are a myth (cuz I haven't craved anything yet). Roman's been kicking and he's even learned something new in his spare time. On a few occasions, he has pushed on me with all his strength. Today he "pushed" for about 5 seconds...long enough for me to recognize it was different than a quick kick, feel his hand/bottom/head (who knows) push on my tummy, and then start counting. Yeah...it's his new little trick for him to play on mommy when she's in the middle of bible study! Do I praise him or scold him?!!! Hmmm, it didn't hurt too bad and I kinda want him to do it again...so i'm thinking I'll praise him (for now!)

Here's the lates bump pic...I hope y'all enjoy watching me get plump!
