21 Weeks!


Can that be right!? I am 21 weeks pregnant! This time is going by fast. Baby Jeremiah is moving and kicking and rolling around lots now. Last Friday I woke up and was laying on my back with my hand on my belly and I felt a good solid bump inside and outside. I was excited because I knew if I felt it, Al would be able to feel his boy soon too! I laid there and prayed and talked to Jeremiah for a few minutes then got up to shower and felt him again. Al happened to get home while I was still there so I told him and thankfully Jeremiah was still moving around. Al very patiently waited with his hands on me and was blessed with his first bump from his boy! I said, "did you feel that?" He said, "I felt him" and then he just stood there in awe, not crying or laughing just like something major had happened, it had. I cried. :) He has felt him a couple more times, bigger bumps even. Every once in awhile at work I feel him and think, What in the world? ha ha ha I never forget that I am pregnant, but I do forget that I can feel him moving so strongly now. Each time is miraculous. The next few months are going to be fun! 


We have picked out our crib, my fabrics are mostly chosen, but the paint color is still to be determined. No hurry though. I am enjoying all of this and I am enjoying sharing the experience with anyone who wants in! We have registered at Target and Babies-R-Us and the date for our Tulsa shower is being set, (Memorial Day weekend) and our Tennessee shower will likely be June 28th. 


Have I mentioned how happy and excited I am to be pregnant? God keeps giving us opportunities to share our story and I am so thankful each day that He has brought us to this place. In the pictures you can see a new frame we got last weekend from USA Baby. It says, 'Before I formed you, I chose you. Jeremiah 1:5' We had to have it. ;)

You look great!! I wish I was there to feel him moving & talk to him too. The next couple of months are going to be the best! Isn't being pregnant great (once you get past the yucky part & get to feel him move)! Love you guys, take care of my nephew. Oh, love the frame too! ;)

that post was from Aunt Ang. I hit too many buttons before putting my name.

I can't wait to see your nursery all put together! Your mostly-picked-out fabrics are adorable, and no matter what color you choose, Jeremiah is going to love his comfy, cozy, guitar-playing room!
