We've been getting lots of good school days in.....well, and some not-so-good school days when unexpected things occur & we learn to be flexible!
I wish I could say that my 3rd trimester has meant I'm just feeling SO great....but I'm not yet. Throwing up is still a daily occurence, no matter what methods I seem to try to prevent it from happening! Actually this morning I kept myself from losing my breakfast, which hasn't happened in weeks!!!! Nights are pretty rough, and I don't take for granted getting in a good night's sleep! Just about 10 weeks left.......and we still don't have a name, but we can't wait to meet this precious baby girl!
I started singing with my ensemble again one evening a week....although I've found that being pregnant doesn't give me much breath support for holding out notes!!!! We have a concert coming up in March, and after that I'll take a break from it for a while.
Seth is crazy busy with work, although we've yet to see what he is owed make it to our bank account in the past few months! We are praying & trusting for God's provision. I have a dedicated, hard-working husband whose positive attitude amazes me!
We joined our church back in December and are enjoying our Sunday morning Connection Group, as well as Bible Study on Wednesday nights. The 2 older kids have started up choir again on Wednesdays, which they thoroughly enjoy.
Seth & I have been listening to lots of John Piper sermons during the week, and been challenged & encouraged. Also, Seth has been working with the kids on Bible memorization & even Chandler is picking up on it!
Bryan is continuing with speech therapy....and Chandler & I sit in on every session as well. He's progressing, although lately it's been very challenging & frustrating for him. We are so grateful for such a wonderful, patient therapist!
It's also Upwards Basketball season~
Tiffany is playing on a team of 4th through 6th grade girls, so she's on the younger/shorter end, but she's doing a great job. She's so encouraging to her teammates & has amazing defense & energy out there on the court. They've only won 1 out of 4 games so far, but they've learned a lot & had fun!
Zach is loving being on a team with two of his cousins. They each have a TON of energy, incredible defense, have made great shots, and work together with their team. What FUN it is to watch these guys play!
Bryan is playing on a Kindergarten team. They have a 30 minute practice followed by a 30 minute game on the same day each week. He is ALL over the place and has so much energy it wears anyone out just to watch him!!!!
We've made a few downtown excursions w/cousins enjoying the beautiful spring-like weather~ 
Now, it's about 75 outside & sunny & the kids think it's summer, so the boys are shirtless & Tiff is in a sundress. IF they only knew what was coming. I think every year they forget how HOT it really will get here.
We have a busy few weeks ahead, and hopefully I will do better at taking pictures of more we've been doing.
Happy Valentines Day week!!!!!

Thats more like it. I've missed you friend!!! Wishing you were holding it down more but so glad that you have only a few weeks left. Can't wait to meet the new princess! Love ya'll.
I found your blog via the Bairds. Congrats on the impending arrival of your new daughter! How wonderful. I know you didn't ask, but since you mentioned it.... I have been REALLY sick (throw up all day just like you described) with all of my pregnancies UNTIL my dh found out about taking 1/2 a Unisom at bedtime. I know it sounds crazy, but it made such a difference. My dh thinks it's because I sleep so well and the medicine itself. Anyway, I only threw up two times with the last two pregnancies because of it. I would still feel AWFUL at night and lay around, but it took the terrible edge off. Anyway, only someone who throws up all day can understand what a big difference throwing up only twice and just feeling bad the rest of the day means.
Your family is beautiful.
Oh, and I think we have the same leather sofa.
blessings,
Grateful for Grace
