Happy Trails too You....

Happy? happy? Oh Powell and Dublin OH - I will miss you!
My first 5K, a new baby, so many instant friends, a wonderful church.

We shall be back to visit. Promise.

Leaving 40 pounds behind.....may they always stay on Scioto Parkway. :)

The movers are here. We are in a fortress of boxes. See you soon, Indiana.....see you soon.

Emma meet Baby, Baby meet your sister.

Well girls, today time stood still. I absolutely never thought a moment like this would happen. my darling 4 year old heard a heartbeat coming from inside her mommy's belly. Her eye's. Oh her eye's. Too tall to measure. She exclaims "that HAS to be a boy!" (because we all know girls are sweet and quiet, right?!?!)

We also saw two tiny, yet perfect hands, waving (Oh, yes they were waving) at us from the TV screen. I would like to think he/she was signing "I Love You".....ya, pretty sure. ;)
Dancing and moving. What a wonderful sign. Emma told the doctor that the baby was swimming and must think my belly is a pool. I just love her. I love she is going to be a sister. She will be the best sister, I am sure of it.

Everything checked out well. We are cleared to go forth to IN. How warming to know that we have such a great "souvenir" from the place that I have so dearly fallen in love with and will miss. God is good....all the time.
love love,
Jill

Missing you girls!

Hey Ladies,
I hope that this finds you all doing well.

Things here are pretty good. I just went through a bad spell of colds/stomach bug. I was literally sick 5 times during 7 weeks. No fun! Now, I'm ready to cook/eat healthier and start exercising again. It's so challenging because our new house is still not in order and my kitchen isn't finished. I haven't had a kitchen sink since we've moved in. Who wants to cook when you have to wash your dishes in the bathroom sink. So, my new hobby is calling the delinquent contractor 5 times a day until he finishes the job. Aren't you glad you are not him???

So, tonight I'm going for it. I've put the house and work before my health and now it's time to get this body moving so my feet may not be as swollen, my blood pressure won't elevate and I can keep my weight gain under 30 lbs. (at 20lb at 27 weeks. Much better than with Jackson, but still not exellent.)

I wish that I had some wise information to share like Jill does, but I don't.
But, I do love you all and am sending out hugs. (So does Jackson.)
