36 weeks!

Baby Showers! Here is a shot of some ladies from church/corvallis/my staff team celebrating the coming of our little one with a tea party! Karen, the lady with the glasses next to me hosted this with her daughter Julie(who is on our staff team) for us. It was a lot of fun!
This was the portland baby shower with family and a few friends! My Neice Haley (in the pink next to me) came and was so excited to help and participate in the ONLY LADIES event! She was a big help passing the presents to me. So cute.

This was with some of the CRU gals! We played the "guess what the baby ate" game where you guess what kind of melted candy bar is in the diaper... but with a TWIST! The gals that guessed the most correct had to eat the candy from the SCENTED diaper. It was so funny, and gross. Kylie (the lady sitting up) almost puked.

Just a fun shot of Charlie looking pretty sly... he is a funny dog. Brent recently taught him how to shake. He learned it in about 20 mintues. Such a smart little dog!
Here's the latest of the belly! Just finishing up 36 weeks! I've made all my baby appointments until the due day (March 21st) hopefully we wont have to schedule more... I think for the next three mondays i have two doctor appointments a day. For check ups on the baby and meet and greets with potential pediatricians. We also have two more weeks of baby classes! So much baby stuff! Last thursday we were supposed to take a tour of the hospital but the weather changed from 60 degrees to snowing overnight and i guess it induced a bunch of women into labor so all the rooms were full and untourable! crazy! The classes make me nervous.. we had to practice our breathing techniques last week squeezing little bags of ice so we could experience pain in the midst of breathing and i could barely handle it. I'm hoping that is because i knew it was voluntary pain, but I'm not to sure. AH!
Looking a little tired...

33 Weeks Pregnant... i think...

We had our Annual Winter retreat in sisters this past weekend! It was a lot of fun, such a great group of students, wonderful engaging speaker that encouraged us to run after the Lord. It was sweet.
We did a staff (hide-and-go-seek) hunt so here's a picture of our staff team and retreat cooks. We disguised ourselves to make it more difficult to seek us in the town of sisters...


33 weeks pregnant! Seems like i should be further along...is this taking long or is it just me?
