Baby Carrier





My mom got us this top-of-the-line baby carrier and Rich opened it and he thinks it's too feminine for a guy to wear...he vows to never wear it in public. I said, "Put Ellie in it!!" So he did and she LOVED it...when we took her out she was crying to get back in. HA!

Getting bigger...

I am definitely showing and growing like crazy lately. I still haven't been able to workout so it's difficult teaching all of my classes when I can't workout with them...but my mouth works very well, as everyone knows!!! :) I haven't written in awhile because my laptop is in the shop getting fixed and my camera isn't working either...two main items that you need for a blog! LOL!

Rich just got back from his grandfather's funeral in Michigan and he said it went well. He brought home some pretty cool guns that were his grandfather's. Very old school...and it was funny to watch Rich show these to me and even make sounds like a little kid while acting like he was shooting something, "Boom Boom" would say.

He got back about 1:00 in the morning and I woke up to the t.v. on (it felt like it was screaming at me)...and I looked over at Rich and he was sitting next to me eating a piece of cake. He said, "Want some rum cake?" I just started laughing like, "Are you serious?" You would think he was the one that was pregnant. HA!

My parents are coming back from New Hampshire visiting my Nanny (my dad's mom). She is not doing well as her cancer is really taking a toll on her. They gave her less than 6 months to live. It is very sad to watch someone deteriorate so quickly. I feel sorry for my dad...but he takes stress pretty good. It's somewhat funny because little things in life seem to bother him (he is very Obsessive Compulsive about a lot of stuff)...but the big things in life don't seem to bother him much. My mom is the opposite...the little things don't bother her much, but the big issues in life seem to really stress her out.

Being pregnant, sometimes these situations seem surreal because you are bringing someone into the world while their ancestors are leaving. This child would not been created without either grandparent. I wish I knew more about both of them...but they both lived so far away (Michigan and New Hampshire) that it was hard for Rich or me to get to know them very well. I know they were both very nice people.

I hope to leave a leagacy that will make my grandchildren proud.

I like this scripture because it tells us that God is not here to judge us, but to save us.
God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save
the world through him. John 3:17 (NLT)
