Growing in so many ways.

When I logged on today I was surprised to see that I had not blogged in over a month.  Well over.  Now that I am finally getting to the point where my body doesn't want to protest every tiny piece of food I give it, I feel like I should update what has been happening in our lives.  Before I start posting pictures though, I should mention a big thank you to the many friends and family, who over the past few weeks have taken such good care of us/me.  This pregnancy knocked me on the ground harder than we had anticipated but we are happy that everything is going well and so far we have a healthy little tiny miracle still planning on coming to our family.  I am 16.5 weeks and I can hardly believe that in just a few more weeks I will get to find out what we are having.  I can tell you right now I believe it is a boy.  But it will be nice to confirm.  Other than the baby, we have had a lot of happy things happen over the past few weeks.  Andrew turned 35 (wow middle age here we come! ::wink:: jk) and Lyman turned 8 and was baptized   Wow, that was a neat experience and Ill have more on that later.  We had Aunt Lisa come out for a little over a week and fill our freezers with food and our hearts with love.  The kids thought she was just manna from heaven and it was nice for me to get to relax a bit and not worry about food other than trying to consume (and keep) it.  Lastly, I found out that my publisher, Meryton Press, has accepted my second book "Bluebells in the Mourning" for publication.  A timeline on that one is yet to be determined as a few more editors are being hired right now.  But I can say that this little amazing part of my life does not get old.
