I get to push!

Hi all! I had my 28 wk appt today.... the placenta is out of the way! Yeah! Thank you so much for all of the prayers - God definitely answered them. The tech said it is WAY out of the way. So I get to do the work at delivery, just as we had hoped.

I also had my glucose test today. I don't know results yet, but aside from the taste of way too much sugar, I was not bothered, so I think it was fine. I have another appt in 2 weeks, and then another ultrasound in 4 weeks. They will check the baby's growth again then.

Thanks Aunt Jen for keeping Ella during my appt!

New Room

Well, the baby's room has been finished a while, so thought I would show some pictures of the process. The first three are inside the room:




And the last 2 are the other side of the wall. This area is now a small study loft/hallway:




All of our projects lately have really served as great lessons about family and community. We talk a lot in my women's small group about how we so often pull into our garages, close the door and forget that there is a world outside our own home. One of my friends pointed out that strong relationships are often built by asking for help and/or offering help.

While we were working on the room Lexi's dad and our pastor each spent an evening painting with Paul and sharing tons of painting supplies and tips. Then of course, Paul's mom hand made our new curtains. We have been so blessed by others sharing their time and talents with us.
