My Baby Shower

My friend Arlene threw me a nice baby shower yesterday. We had a great time socializing, playing games, eating, and opening gifts. One of the games they played was to decorate a bib for Baby E. All of the bibs were so cute that it was hard to pick a winner. :) I received many nice gifts. Thank you guys so much!

Belgium?! What? Where is That?

We finally received orders to move!! We are moving to Belgium in May 2010. We are excited to move due to the fact that we have been in Georgia for almost 6 years now and we really would like to explore a new place. I am a little nervous about going overseas just for the fact that I have never left this country and I don't know what to expect over there. I am excited at the same time because of the travel opportunities that await us over there. There are so many places and things I have wanted to see in Europe and now I will finally get a chance to do that.

We won't be leaving until May, so we will still be here awhile. We plan on visiting our family and friends in California before we head out. Our home in Belgium will be open to anyone who wants to come and visit us. :) Hint, Hint... great vacation spot!

Updates...

I just wanted to give you guys a quick update on the prayer requests I had. David's recovery went very well and now he is getting back normal... just in time for school to start! Tessa's surgery went well... just praying that she will have a speedy and healthy recovery. Thank you all for your prayers!

My doctors appt. last week went well. The nurse had a hard time counting the heartbeats because the baby would not stay still. :) The baby has been very active this past week, so active that I can see my belly move up and down... really cool!

Prayer Request...

Please keep my new little niece Tessa in your prayers. She is only 2 weeks old and is in ICU because she is having problems with a vein that is too narrow to pump oxygen to her heart. She will need surgery but they do not know when. She has been transported to a hospital in L.A. where she will have the surgery.

25 Weeks

I'm 25 weeks along now and feeling Baby E kick a lot! Last night it felt like the baby was doing aerobics or something. It made me laugh thinking about what the baby could possibly be doing in there with all the movement that was going on. I go in next week for another appointment.

Welcome Tessa Rose Eveland!

Matt's brother Jay and his wife Paula, had their little baby girl on August 2nd. I believe she weighed 7lbs. Congrats to both of you and we can't wait to meet her someday!

22 Weeks

I had another ultrasound today because they wanted to make sure that my placenta had "migrated." Last time I went in the doctor said my placenta was low lying, which means it was down by my cervix. They did not seem to concerned at the time because they said the placenta will usually migrate away from the cervix on it's own. So, they did another ultrasound today to make sure that it moved and it did. I'm so thankful that it did move because it could cause problems in the third trimester. They said everything looked good and I got to see Baby E again, so that was a plus! :) They also gave me more pictures of the baby. The pictures are of the baby's face and the feet. It was so cool to see those little feet on the screen!
