A lengthy update

A few pictures from our trip a few weekends ago in Glennallen. Jon standing over the bluff.

preggo me at 32 weeks. now we are nearly 34 weeks!

Today has been a slow day at work so I thought I would update. We finished up three nights of childbirth classes last night. We practiced breathing techniques, laboring positions and discussed the stages of labor. Overall, we each learned more than one thing and we had fun. Jon told me last night that he was "ready for delivery." Well, this mama is kinda glad that the pain and reality of that stage of life isn't here quite yet.

You can be praying for us and the pregnancy. Things continue to go very well. The baby is very active and gives my bladder no room these days. Good news to share! Our friends, Zach and Anne, had a little baby girl yesterday, Thursday, September 11 around 8:00am. She was 7 lbs and 15 ounces, 21 inches long. Her name is Alice Bea and is doing great. She is a little jaundiced so she is spending some extra time under the french fry lights but overall, mum and baby are doing well.

I am hoping to work up until my due date and work has been good. We were super slow today but otherwise, it has been steady. Today, me and a coworker planned a Mexican potluck day and a Potato Bar day. Hopefully it will be a good time and good eats...well as good as work can be. Paid to eat though so that part isn't horrible!

It is still moose season and Jon will be going in the morning. Keep praying for a big one!!

Youth group has been going well so far this year. We have 6 regular kids who are coming. We have lots planned for the fall but some spots where other folks are gonna help us out, when we are on "maternity leave" for about a month. It is funny how you plan for 9 months for baby and life after baby will be so different. I hope it is as great as we imagine! Just meeting baby will be a treat!!! And worth the wait! Now if only I could skip the laboring part....hmmm...

Well, time to pass some meal trays to the patients. Oh and go Sarah Palin! AK loves her!!
