Joelle's 36week appt went really well. These boring and uneventful appts are such a blessing! Hopefully soon we will be able to report progress, and this LO may be making an entrance :-)
All in God's timing though, and He will give us the grace needed to endure (mostly Joelle lol) this last month until HE decides that Benjamin is to come!

Blessed beyond measure
WOW!!! Our shower was AMAZING!!! God has been so faithful to supply abundantly more than we could ever think we needed. All our needs have been met, and the gifts just keep coming! We have seriously the best friends ever, and are so blessed to be a apart of one of the most incredible churches we know. Never have we felt so loved and blessed.
Our pastor has really been preaching a lot about the Kingdom, and how it is here now. That every time we get a chance to act like Jesus, the Kingdom has been spread and God has been glorified. Through all this love and blessing, we have truly felt the Kingdom come to our lives. We have almost felt the tangible presence of God flowing through the lives of others who have reached out to support us. And the most amazing thing about the Kingdom - when it's real you want to spread it even more! There is a crisis pregnancy center near our house that always needs help, and we are looking into ways to help them.
Joelle took her camera, but completely forgot to take pictures, as did Jeremiah (who ended up going to the shower after all ). Some one else took some pictures though, so they will be added here once they are uploaded.
The only missing now is the baby! Hopefully he will make an appearance soon, and begin to use all his wonderful presents and meet all the people who are so anxious to meet him!

Shower time!
Joelle's shower is this weekend, and she is very very excited! She is trying to talk Jeremiah into going with her, since he hasn't been able to experience many things with this PG due to work. Jeremiah is not very thrilled about that idea :-)
Pics will be posted :-)

Little B update
Well, so far all Joelle's appts have been good!
At the 33w U/S I got to see the baby in 3D which was beyond EXCITING! he was soooo beautiful, and looks just like Jeremiah :-) Benjamin weighed in at 4lbs 11oz :-) I go back Feb 3rd at 37weeks :-)
Her 33w OB appt went well too :-) The doc doesn't think baby will be above 7lbs something, and that makes her very happy! They did have to redo my CBC since when they took it 4 weeks ago her white blood cell count was high. She had a horrific sinus infection at the time, so that may have been the cause :-) She told me not to worry. She goes back January 20th, and will be 35weeks. Not sure when they are going to start her weekly appts, typically it is at 36weeks but they may start her at 37weeks.

Welcome!
Hello everyone!
We just wanted to create a blog so that all our friends could follow the progress of our life...complete with kid(s) - one for now, and however many more God decides that we are supposed to have.
Right now we are expecting our first child - a little boy - February 24th. His name will be Benjamin Nathaniel. Joelle hits full term on February 3rd, so who knows what will happen after that!
Thanks to everyone for checking us out, and stay tuned for farther updates!
Blessings
