Here I am with my sweet Bailey and Cuddly Reed...
14 weeks pregnant!
Well I learned something new! Being pregnant counts as being temporarily disabled. So, I got to be the first person to board the airplane on my trip to FL this past week! I felt very VIP! Jesus showed mercy on me. The weather report called for thunderstorms and winds... but the plane ride was smooth as silk! Thanks to those of you who were praying for my traveling mercies.
These two ladies next to me have touched my life eternally. Kathleen (far left) discipled me through college, continuously pouring into my heart and steering me towards Jesus. Ashley (middle) started praying for my salvation when she met me and invited me to countless bible studies. They cause the angels to smile with their love for Jesus and selfless hearts! Someday we will dance in the streets of heaven together.
The wedding was perfect! Heather was radiant! I enjoyed visiting with my Jacksonville friends. I also enjoyed spending time with my Nephew Reed and meeting my sweet little Niece Bailey. (Pictures above) Ashley sure knows how to breed some beautiful children! I felt such great comfort being around old friends. I am blessed with such wonderful lasting friendships.
Baby is doing well! Here is the update from BabyCenter.com:
Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.

Love this!!! I SO love the pic of you cuddling with my babes!! You are so special to us and I can't wait to be an AUNT to your little butterbean!!!!
