Baby Girl is about 1 pound and 4 ounces & about 12 inches long. She’s quite the kicker and loves to jump around on mommy’s bladder. Fun for her…not so fun for me.
I really can’t believe how fast it’s flying by!! And how fast I’m growing!
24 Weeks
About 113 days to go!!!!! Can’t wait to meet my baby girl!
Hi, I’m a pastor’s wife.
A downfall of being a pastor’s wife…I sit alone. Well, I worship alone. One of my favorite things is standing next to my hubby in worship. Mostly because he has an amazing voice and I like listening to him sing. But my hubby is a Worship Pastor. I can’t tell you how many times people look at the poor girl sitting by herself and give me that “you poor thing look”. Especially when they see the wedding ring. Then they really feel sorry for me because they think I have a dead beat husband who is at home watching football instead of being at church with his wife. And add in the pregnant belly…it’s even more entertaining for me!
A pastor’s wife that I follow, recently wrote a blog about this topic. She says that she sits on the front row b/c that is where she is most supportive of her husband. This is not the case for me though. Honestly, I think my hubs is way to sexy and if I sit that close, I’m more engaged in him during Worship than my #1 love.
Because, my hubby is my #2 and always will be.
I hide in the back, in the dark. Another reason I do this, is for my husband’s sake. He gets distracted very easily. I fear that if I’m right in front of him I will be a distraction to him when his purpose is to lead people to the feet of Christ…not to check out his wife on the front row. That’s just why I do it.
Pastor’s wives: what is your preference on where you sit if your hubby is an “on stage guy”?
Church Attenders: what is your honest view of pastor’s wives and how we should encourage our husbands? Seriously…I’m curious!
Welp it’s officially been a year. We love this state.
LOVE IT.
Can’t beat the beautiful weather, the beaches, the yummy frozen yogurt on every corner. Our dog, Jack Bauer James, loves it too. His allergies cleared up when we arrived in CA.
After Brook and I got married we fell into the statistic of people who gain weight after marriage. Yikes. When I look back at pictures of us from when we left Texas, I cringe just a bit. But once we arrived, we decided to jump into the healthy California lifestyle. Brook dropped around 35 pounds, and I lost 15! Of course then I got pregnant and have gained all that back!
FAT (Nov. ‘08) SKINNY (June ‘09)
So thank you California for helping us get healthy again. My husband is SEXY!!!!!!
A year ago today we said goodbye to our first home at 9200 Nightingale Drive. It was hard to say goodbye to our home that we started out in, but we looked forward to what God had ahead for us in our move to California.
We were never big fans of Texas, but we loved our church and our friends. Not a day goes by that we don’t think of Todd & Wendy and wish they still lived down the street from us! Especially now that we both preggers!
I can’t believe how fast this year has flown by and all that has happened and God has blessed us with. We pulled out of Texas the morning of November 17, 2008 not knowing what was ahead. Now I look back and am amazed at how the blessings poured out over the past year. It hasn’t always been easy, but we have been following the path God has laid out for us and it’s been the best thing for us!
Biggest blessing of all…losing all that weight! Yikes we are HUGE in these pictures!
Cheers to a year in California! Many more to come?? 
I’ve always had crazy dreams. But then I got pregnant, and my hormones made my dreaming even more out of control. I’ve started having dreams about the baby a lot. The most common, reoccurring dream I’ve had is that the baby is born and can talk. It seems to be a pretty normal thing in my dream and no one seems concerned by the fact that I have a newborn genius. I guess people expect that from me & my husband. Right.
In a recent dream, not only did my sweet little girl talk…but she had the entire bible memorized by the time she was born. Yikes. It’s pretty sad when a 2 day old baby is smarter than you. In my dream we were at my parents house and our baby corrected something her Mimi said by reciting Numbers 1:7. I thought wow this must be a sign from God or something and this verse must mean something really great! So we went and looked it up.
Numbers 1:7 Of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
Yup that’s it. Be impressed, it’s very deep. I guess I better not put my bible (aka iPhone…YouVersion) next to my belly when I’m reading just in case she’s studying up. Can’t have my infant be smarter than me.
What crazy dreams did you or your wife have during pregnancy?
