Belly Pics

Ok, you sick people. Here they are. I am 37 weeks in these pictures. By the way, stretch marks are beautiful (at least that's what I tell myself to make myself feel better).

Anyway, can you tell who is going to be jealous in 10 days?

Some Specks of Joy

So, I have been praying lately that I will see specks of joy amidst my seemingly depressing state. I have been getting overwhelmed lately with taking care of two active toddlers and being HUGE (I will get some belly pics up before it's gone) and tired all the time.

Here is one of the specks...
Hannah, Caleb, and I have been sick with a cold for a week now. We are on the upswing finally, but for a while it was torture. We ran the gamut of symptoms. I won't relay the gory details. Caleb and I get asthmatic coughs with colds/allergies. So, sleeping is difficult. Anyway, one night I was so sick and laying on the couch. Caleb came over and prayed for me that I would get better soon. Then, he prayed for himself. Lord, thank You for being Caleb's ever present help in trouble.

On a side note, a couple days before he prayed that I would have 10 more babies. Lord, You can ignore that one. :)
