Benji and I just got home from the Thresher's Reunion...talk about country. This is where all the old farmers come out with antique and new farm equipment and do demonstrations. There is a train to ride and delicious really nutritious fair type food ranging from Italian sausages to Funnel Cakes. Yummy! We had a wonderful time and are now at home collapsing from exhaustion.
The coolest thing that has happened to us is our doctor's appointment yesterday. We got to hear the baby's heart beat. It was amazing. The doctor said there was about a 50/50 chance that we would be able to hear it this early, so as we walked out Benji said "We must have a super baby." :-) Gotta love him. It really was incredible. Unless you have had a child, I don't think I could describe the feelings we felt in being able to hear our own little child's heart beating, that distinct symbol of life growing and moving inside me. Being able to share that experience together was wonderful. I highly suggest that husbands always go with wives to their doctor visits. It would have been such a disappointment for me to have been able to go through that without Benji being there too. We just feel so blessed. Everything is proceeding as normal. We are healthy and hope to stay that way.
Keep Benji's dad in your prayers. He had quadruple bypass surgery last Friday morning. He is recovering as normal and doing well, but it is going to take some time for him to get over the soreness and fatigue. He is going to have to make several lifestyle changes and this is going to be difficult. He is a very stubborn man, but we are hoping that this will serve as a wake up call for us all. he has never had high blood pressure or cholesterol, so there really were not any telling warning signs.
We love you all. Keep us in your prayers.
