this week in the life of JM and Jessica

My computer is sick.... The hard drive is dying! But thankfully there is an extended warranty on the hard drive, so all we have to pay is the labor!! So hopefully by the end of this week or beginning of next week I'll have some new pictures up from recent happenings around here.

Other things in our lives....

I'm officially wearing maternity pants :( Kind of stinks because that means I have to pay money to buy them! I tried on a friend's maternity clothes but the pants just didn't work. So I've bought myself 2 pairs of pants that will hopefully take me through the end of the school year and into the summer a little ways. I have been wearing skirts to work a whole lot lately due to this issue of the expanding waist line. But I don't think I'm gaining too much weight too fast so that's good. We'll see how much I weigh at my next doctors appt....

John Mark is finished with class!!!!! He has two take home finals and then one in class. One of his papers he did this semester will probably be published in the Truett Journal. His teacher really liked it and said that there's not enough written on the topic. I would tell you the title but it's some long name that maybe only 10% of you would understand. Basically it's about the Incarnation and Missions. Maybe that's enough.

Things seem to be going well otherwise. I'm not feeling as sick as I was. It seems to be fading. I did have a horrible headache today though. And my emotions go up and down at the drop of a hat. But John Mark has been wonderful through it all! It is great!!!!!

It's time for bed. I'm out.

The word is out!

We have found ourselves in yet another phase of adulthood........

We're going to be parents!! Yep that's right. Most of you who read this blog already know, but in case you don't, here it is!

I am due on November 17th. We've known for a little over 3 weeks now, but I couldn't get in to the doctor until this week. So now it's official and we're telling everyone!!

Here are some questions you may be wondering that other people have already asked.....

• Was it planned? not by us, God had it all planned out!
  


• Have you been sick? yes, most definitely. It seems to be tailing off now, but we'll see. I'm not one to throw up, so luckily I haven't had much of that action. I did have a cold last week with a lot of drainage and that made me more nauseous.

• Can you guys still go on your trip this summer? yep! We'll be traveling during my 2nd trimester, which is the perfect time to travel. And we have another praise about our trip, we have received all the money plus A LOT more than we need. So we'll be able to share and help out Jeremy with his trip cost.

• How far along are you? I'm officially 10 and half weeks into the pregnancy.

• Do ya'll want a boy or girl? Well we can only agree on a boy name, so a boy! No really, we are hoping for a boy. I think last night we may have agreed on a girl's first name, Chloe. Now we need a middle name. But if it's a boy it will be Joel Matthew.

Ok that's all I can think of, we'll add more later if we need to.

Here's a picture of our baby!

I'm dreaming of a White Easter??

Well this is a little late, but since I haven't posted anything in a while I thought I should......
We had a white Easter here in Texas! Definitely a first for me!! It was really pretty as we drove to Dublin, although I slept most of the way. John Mark really enjoyed it though. He even got off work early so were able to get to Dublin sooner which is always nice!
That's all for now, I promise there will more next week!!
