Family Update

(Adam seeing Amos for the first time after we were in Colorado for the weekend. He held him for a long time... it sure melted my heart!)

Oh Pregnancy........
I sure love being pregnant and am so thankful for this baby, but man- I sure feel rotten. I think this time is so much worse than my pregnancy with Adam. I tried to get my menu figured out for this week so I can feed my husband, but the thought of food or even looking at a recipe title made me sick. I thought I had thicker skin, but I guess not. :) Hopefully this will dwindle away because my first trimester is wrapping up quickly.

I had my first midwife appointment. It was such a beautiful sound to hear the heart beat of our precious baby. It doesn't get much better than that!

We are going to Canada tomorrow! We have been staying busy every day and night getting ready. There are 14 of us going up in 4 cars. We are going with the Vinchattle's. We have a couple of cabins. It will be fun. I look forward to catching a huge fish- that's my goal. I am really nervous about the very long drive up there with Adam. If you think about it- please pray for my stomach and Adam. Hopefully there will be enough people in the car to keep him entertained.

Adam has been a joy. He has a bigger vocabulary every day. Now we drive down the road and he points out cars and trucks. I personally think he is quite bright. He has started laughing a lot- not just giggling or smiling. We love that guy. He is going to be such a great big brother.

(Why not wear diapers on your head?)

Adam, Adam....

It might be a good time to get out of the country with all the rain and floods here. I feel so bad for all my friends and family in Ames. They have no water and can't get out. I had several things to do in Ames today before our big trip but I guess it won't happen. Sadly our video camera is being repaired at Best Buy in Ames. We were hoping to take that for our vacation. Oh well!

Off to bed- I will try to update some while we are in Canada. We won't have phone reception but will have the internet.

Later!
