Busy as a Bee

Well, I haven’t been too busy… just busy sleeping most of the time! But busy none the less. I figure that on the inside, with this baby bakin’, I am staying really busy! Some amazing thing happened this past week! I had my first doctor’s appointment and my little sister had her baby, Delaney! God sure does know how to bless this soon to be mama!

Thursday, the 4th, was baby day! I got to see my baby for the first time and heard the sweet little heartbeat. My mother-in-love, Jenny, got to go with me since Stephen is on the other side of the world. What an amazing time this was for me. And so far so good! I even survived the blood work; no crying or passing out! (This was a first!) I am convinced- this baby is going to make me tough! Except for the fact that I cried several times that day just from pure bliss! Stephen, the sweetest husband ever, sent a little gift for me after the appointment. This touched my heart in so many ways! Thank you Stephen, this baby has no idea yet of what a wonderful man you are! I am so excited that I get to share the joy of raising this child with you!

And my official due date is July 11th!

Here are the pictures of our cute little one! I hope he or she has Stephen’s eyes!












So, as I said before, Anna and Jacob were married the day before Thanksgiving! Here is a picture right after the “I do’s”.













Then on Friday morning Anna went into labor. Actually I think she was in labor all night, but she went to the hospital early that morning and had Delaney by 11:39am. Everything went great and they were able to go home on Saturday.

Delaney Rosemary Brown
December 5th, 2008 – 11:39 am
7 pounds 11 ounces
20 inches long










This weekend I also went to the first of three ornament exchanges. Fun, fun, fun! There is one every weekend for three weeks straight! Let me tell you, that is the way to celebrate Christmas!










Here are me and Natalie showing off our prego bellies and enjoying some yummy fried pickles! She actually looks cute with her belly, I just look pudgy!












It has been so much fun being pregnant at the same time as Natalie. She always has great advice. And I am so excited that our kids will get to be great buds! Natalie, I am very blessed to call you family and a friend!

Praise the Lord for sonograms! Praise the Lord for baby heartbeats! Praise the Lord for Delaney! Praise the Lord for ornament exchanges! Praise the Lord for family and friends! And Praise the Lord for fried pickles!
