31 Weeks Pregnant

The past three weeks my son has gotten much stronger. It's still painful to sleep. The doctor says I won't be having a big baby (woo-hoo!) I did find out I'm slightly anemic so I'm taking iron pills now. My pants and skirts don't fit anymore, so I had to get some maternity Capri's for summer. Target has some cute shorts I might get. Even my maternity shirts are shrinking! Just 9 more weeks or so now. I can't wait! Lito and I are going to a maternity photo shoot next Thursday! I'll try to post those pics in a couple weeks or so when we get them. Please keep Kai and I in your prayers as things progress.

30 Weeks Pregnant



29 Weeks Pregnant

Nursery Reveal!





Malachi Moves in my Belly!

If you watch closely you can see Kai's rolling movements across my belly. You think it's weird to see, imagine feeling it!

Ring Exchange

So the three F's are starting to swell. Face, Feet and Fingers. The finger swelling made me nervous to continue wearing my wedding ring. So on Mother's day, Lito took me out to find a temporary ring. The bottom ring (the one I am currently wearing) is worth $12.50. The top ring is worth....a few thousand. I guess it will have to do for now. :)

Kindness of Old Acquaintances

Lito and I were recently contacted through Facebook by an old acquaintance of ours from high school. Her unmarried name was Kat Bouchard. She is now married and has a handsome little boy named Tristan! In catching up and congratulating each other on life's joys, she offered to mail us a box of Tristan's old baby clothes! We agreed ecstatically! She mailed a box from LA, CA all the way out to Joplin, MO just out of the kindness of her heart! We were tickled pink going through the clothes! I just wanted to share a handful of our favorites with you.

Malachi's First Play



Lito and I just finished up Ozark Christian College's Spring Musical, The Music Man a couple of weeks ago! Lito played the role of Charlie and I was a Pregnant Townswoman. :) It was exhaughsting, but well worth it. I'm sure Kai got an earful throughout the experience. He was always dancing around in my belly during the musical numbers. Thus, we shall call this, Malachi's Musical debut!
