Baby on the way!

We are expecting our first child! He, yes, it's a boy, is due Sept. 8. I've been meaning to update the blog all along, but it's just gone by so fast. It's definitely been the fastest 7 months of my life. The last two months of the pregnancy have and continue to go very slowly. Rick was out of town much of last month for youth trips that I was unable to go on. This past Tuesday, I was placed on bedrest because of concerns that I will deliver early, and we're trying to make sure he's completely developed before that happens.

It was a little shocking, because we thought we still had about a month, but we'll have to be ready any time now. We're working on small nursery projects when we get to them, but the priority at this point is doing as little as possible to not put any more pressure on the baby.

Rick has been the best! He's kept our house together while I've been just lying around. Our great church has been providing us with delicious meals-way better than what I'd be making. Keep us in your prayers as we wait on the arrival of our little boy!
