Almost 38 weeks!

Here I am at 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Not as big as I was William I don't think, but maybe I am wrong. I am definitely uncomfortable and ready to be done being pregnant! I have contractions every now and then but they never stick around. The past few days have been sooo nice outside so William and I try to spend as much of the day outside as possible. We take 3-4 walks a day and spend time playing out in the driveway, too. I am so thankful for him. If I didn't have him to keep me busy I would go crazy waiting for this next baby to come.

This Thursday I will be teaching a Bible story at Healthy Babies. I decided to teach the story of Jonah. It has the excitement of being swallowed by a whale and also teaches the need for forgiveness of sins. So I thought that would be a good story to start with. Please pray that it goes well and that plenty of moms are there. The weather is so nice that soon moms are going to stop coming to the healthy babies group. It is normal up here for everyone to stay out really late since the sun is up well past 1 am now. Then they just sleep in for most or all of the morning. Anyway, so keep that in prayer, please!!

Have a good week!

Since my last update...

We started teaching William sign language about 5 months ago. He has been doing pretty well with it. He can :sign about 10 different signs. The ones he uses in conversation without us having to tell him to say it are: please, thankyou, all done, love, and tooth brush. The others he can do but he doesn't use them to communicate to us (if that makes sense). Anyway, here is a short video of him doing a couple signs for me.

 

Also since my last post I was able to have a ladies meeting with the ladies at the church. It went pretty well. We had 8 ladies including myself. I started a study on Romans chapter one but we only got 13 verses into it. This month we will pick it up again. I really really enjoyed the study so I hope the ladies enjoy it as well. But my favorite time of the ladies meeting (and all the previous ladies meetings) has been the time of testimony and prayer. It is so encouraging to hear what other Christians are learning and going through and how the Lord is working in their lives. So please continue to pray for our ladies meetings!

Also I am praising the Lord for getting me on the schedule at Healthy Babies to teach a Bible story. I am still undecided about what story I will teach but I will teach it on May 24. I want a story that is exciting but also has some foundational truths about God in it. So please pray with me as I decide what story to teach.

Thankyou! Have a great week!
