Doctor and The Great Outdoors

Well, we went to our doctor's appointment on Friday and everything went wonderfully. Baby is measuring about about 7 weeks and 5 days, so we were really close the first time. Official due date now is January 20th. We go back in four weeks. Check out our picture. Baby's first photo.
After our doctor's appointment, we drove an hour to Wilkesboro to go camping with our Sunday School class. We had a wonderful time. Good food, fellowship and 100 degree weather. :-) It was great. I found myself tiring very easily, and felt blessed that we have friends with a camper and I was able to sleep in the air conditioning. Benji, baby and I went fishing, although Benji is the only one who caught anything, we played cards, cooked, and had a devotional. We had a great weekend.
Benji is getting ready to go back to work tomorrow. This is going to be a very busy week for him. He is at the fire house Monday, Wednesday, Friday; has school on Tuesday and Thursday, and also has to get his mowing done. Please keep him in your prayers.
I have two days left with the students there, one workday, and then a couple days off until Summer Camp the next Monday. I had no reservations about being pregnant and working camp, but after the weekend heat, I am wondering just how this is going to work. Please pray for me about that.
We are very happy and very excited. We love you all!

Baby Doctor

We have our first Doctor's appointment today. So excited, but a little nervous. I had this awful dream that this was all a joke and they were going to tell me I wasn't really pregnant. Good Grief, I know. I'll update when we get home. Going camping this weekend, so it will be Sunday before I can tell you how it went. Keep praying. We love you!!

Blueberry

Well, this week, my little bean is the size of a blueberry, and has some AMAZING things going on. He/She has tony little hands and feet, although the fingers and toes are still webbed. The whole skeleton is formed, but not hard bone yet. It just blows my mind that something the size of a blueberry could have so much going on.
Benji and I joke about m being the host being and I have my little parasite growing and taking me over. It is not all untrue though. I have to be more careful about my eating and exercising, etc. because my little parasite will get these things that I put in to my body. :-) It is quite humorous.
I have my first doctor's appointment on Friday. Should be pretty lengthy. I am told that this appointment will provide me with my first picture of the little berry. I am very excited. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't get too excited b/c it is still so early, but I cannot help it. Like my mother said, You cannot live in fear. God has made this miracle and I feel that I should be able to shout about it from the roof tops (instead I blog about it so the whole world could know if they really wanted to :-) - more effective than shouting.)
Please keep us in your prayers as always. I feel great. Still no sickness, so I am crossing my fingers that it won't happen. I am finding that foods I used to like, I don't anymore. No new cravings really. I just don't have the old ones. Weird.
Love you all!
