We heard the heartbeat...and my laugh!

We went to the doctor this morning to hear the heartbeat. It took a minute to find it because it was so low, but it was easy to know it was the baby's heartbeat. It beats twice as fast as mine. She said, "there he is!" I wonder why she said he?
We listened to it for a second and I laughed because it was so fun. My laugh echoed through the machine and came out sounding like a gorilla!!! Our poor baby hears a gorilla everytime I laugh! That made me keep laughing and the doctor had to wait for me to stop so she could finish. It was so funny!

Confession

The baby isn't really due May 19th. The doctor says May 15th, but I want it to be the 19th so we'll share a Birthday! :) We really do think it's later, though.

Death and Redemption-10 years ago today

It's interesting to me that this article is titled Death and Redemption because that describes what happened in my life after this terrible event 10 years ago today. One of my Middle School friends, Rachael Ford, was killed in this accident that was supposed to be a night of fun and pranks for Homecoming. I was too scared to go to the funeral and I couldn't stop thinking what would happen to me if that was my situation. Would I be in Heaven? I couldn't stand the thought of not knowing. I later heard the Gospel at a Young Life camp and understood I needed Christ's righteousness to replace my sin so I could be sure of never experiencing God's wrath. What a wonderful gift!
Although there was much pain a sorrow for everyone involved, this article and my own personal story show how God works everything out for the good of those who love Him! Romans 8:28

The Jumping Bean

The ticker on the top left of the screen told us that the baby will jump if you touch it. It's too small to feel now, but we tried poking at my stomach today just to see. I didn't feel anything, but it made me laugh. I keep calling it the Bean instead of something cute like Sweet Pea or Peanut...we'll see what sticks. It's so fun to know that a baby is growing in me! We love him/her already.

Sonogram

Here's the pictures of the sonogram we had a couple weeks ago. It was amazing to see the little heart beating on the screen! Our next sonogram will be around Christmas when we find out if the baby's room will be pink and green or blue and green :)

Food Cravings

Some people have asked me if any food cravings have developed yet. Actually, I eat at least 2 bowls of Fruity Pebbles a day. How weird is that? I usually eat a cinnamon bagel, too. Any ideas of how to get iron???

Jenna and Doug's Baby Shower

We had fun showering the Teacheys with cute baby girl stuff this past weekend! She's coming soon!

Campus Outreach Staff Picnic in Minneapolis

It was so neat to be able to spend time with other staff from all over the U.S. We got to have a Q&A with John Piper and an encouraging time with Ken Currie. The staff in Minnesota were so welcoming to all of us! Thanks again!

Freezing Girls

Me and Jamie Smith at the Staff (She's pregnant, too by the way!)
