So many Exciting things have been going on the past few weeks. 1. On October 24th & 25th I had 2 baby showers. One of them was in Anniston, AL. It was thrown by my wonderful mother-in-law and her friends. The other one was hosted by Clearwater Community Church. (My church family).. They were so Beautiful and special... Skylar definitely is all set on baby items.. so he should now be ready to come into the world!

Here are all the beautiful pregnant women at our church.. (there are a lot more of them but they are not pictured). we are in order of Due date.

Lindsay Lawsen (baby boy spencer), Me (baby boy Skylar), Lindsey McCall (baby boy Jude), Kelly Saunders (baby girl Emerson), Sara Wyrosdick (baby girl).

The 3 Lindsey's/Lindsay's. All due right after eachother.

Update:
Today our dear friends Timmy and Lindsay Lawsen (who go to our church) now are parents to a 3rd son Spencer Lawsen, 9lbs, 22inches... We are so excited for their family. And we Love them so very much! We heard from our friends that the birth went great and Mommy and baby are doing wonderfully!

Here he is, Baby Spencer!! (this photo was taken by his daddy)

This morning as we were thinking and praying about the Lawsen family, Landon said to me.. "well, this means your next to go!".. which is true I only have 3 more weeks left and Baby Skylar will be here with us! How exciting.


Doctor's Appt:
Today was also a special day because I had my first of my weekly doctors visits. Today She measured my tummy and said that I am still on for this December 4th baby! His heartbeat sounded wonderful and now he will be growing about a 1/2 a lb every week until he is born. The doctor told me little Sky will probably be about a 7lb baby! woohoo! Praise the Lord for our son! We are so anxious to meet him.. but we know he still needs time to "bake"!

Interesting thought:

contractions and nausea have definitely set in the last week or two. It's crazy how all of a sudden I have felt so bad.. but a friend said to me today, "embrace this time, this suffering, It is making you more like Jesus." .. what a wonderful thought and a total change in thinking. To desire suffering? Do we do that, do we desire to suffer to be more like Jesus?? My prayer and cry for the rest of this pregnancy is: Lord if suffering brings me closer to you and more like you, then Let me suffer! This is such an odd thought to the world, but as believers we should constantly desire this!

Landon and I love you all and cannot wait to show you Skylar! I will post pictures soon of life down here in Alabama!!
