Sorry...

...for not posting recently. I haven't had anything going on really and didn't want to just post about nothing.

I'm still feeling great. Got signed up for birthing classes, but of course had to fit all 3 of them in during my 3rd trimester rather than spread them out over the 2nd and 3rd, all because of basketball season! ;) I'm not going to them by myself and they are mostly offered only on Tuesday nights, which are game nights through the middle of March. So I might be the fattest one there for one or two of the classes! :)

I'll be 15 weeks on Wed. the 15th, weird! Our next doctor appointment isn't until the week after Christmas. At this point of my pregnancy I try to read a couple books that great friends gave me about what I'm experiencing or what the baby is doing each day, week and month (I have a book for each- daily, weekly and monthly "expectations"). That's fun to read and learn about.

Besides reading about what I can expect to feel and what's developing with the baby, I still wonder how big I'll be at Christmas... :) Oh, I did have to buy one of those bands to fit over my unzipped and unbuttoned pants to keep them up because my dress pants are now too tight to button or zip up! Maybe my next post will be about shopping for maternity pants!

Jesse brought to my attention a heart-wrenching, tear-jerker of an article in the Des Moines Register called Eric's Last Wishes: A story of faith and love in three parts. Read it here http://www.desmoinesregister.com/. Part 1 is called Eric's Last Wishes, Part 2- Pray, and pray often, and Part 3 comes tomorrow. It's so sad, and so hard to imagine going through what Eric's wife had to. You'll see why Jesse thought of me and brought to my attention the story. I only wish and hope that Jesse is driven by God to do the same that Eric was. Check it out.

Until next time, hope everyone is staying safe and warm.
