Third Trimester here we come!

Hi everyone!

We are now into week 28 of growing a baby (the Third and Final Trimester!)and everything is going well:)
The house search is still on, but a few leads have come up. We are trying not to be too picky but want to make the best investment at the same time... it takes a lot of energy to buy a home! We are still hopeful that we will be somewhat settled into a home by the end of October- - -wouldn't that be great?
Last week Cameron was showing Andrew some maternity photographers' websites and mentioned that he could take some maternity photos just as well as they did. Andrew agreed that he would sometime and then said, "Hey the lighting looks good in the living room. Let's take some pictures right now." Here is a sample of some of Andrew's (spur of the moment) Maternity Gallery:







This past weekend we got to spend some time up in the Cloudcroft area with a group of college students that are a part of the Christian Challenge Ministry at NMSU. We were leaders over a small group for this weekend and are trusting the Lord that it went the way it was supposed to. Although we can't speak for the students in the small group we found that preparing for the retreat taught us a lot. The weather was beautiful and we were spoiled by how nice our accomadations were.


On Sunday our Sunday School class took a trip to Rudy's BBQ and Bob O's together. We had so much fun, but everyone left exhausted from the heat and activity. One of the fun things about being pregnant right now, is that there are two other couples in our class who are also pregnant. One gal is due around the same time Cameron is and the other gal is due at the end of January. Our Sunday School leader and his wife just had a baby as well as our friends Vanessa and Josh. Talk about something being in the water! It sure is nice to get to share pregnancy stories and learn from the experienced moms and dads in our class. Maybe our children will all be friends some day?





Weight Watchers for this week:

Cameron's weight gain: 13.5 lbs

Andrew's weight loss: 13 lbs

The home stretch, hooray! Great homemade maternity pics. Thought the 2nd one looked kinda sad (maybe just cuz it was darker?)...like it could be used in an add for something to do with single moms ("you don't have to face this alone")...or maybe I over-analyze things sometimes, lol. But anyways, who needs professional photographers, psh! liked the one with the hand-heart over the belly, nice =)

I like all the pictures...well, for some reason I don't like the one where you're both sitting on the couch, but that's just me.
Hope you find a house soon!
