30 weeks

Hello everyone,

30 weeks! Can you believe it? What an amazing journey. We pray everything continues to go well with the pregnancy. I still feel pretty good. I don't sleep well though. I either have to get up to pee, wake up to itching shoulders and back (no one seems to know why), or I wake up with really back acid reflux, (I am on an acid blocker, but at night it doesn't seem to matter). So sleep would be so lovely! I really don't need to actually PRACTICE sleep deprivation!
We are so excited for this baby, and yet feel unprepared! We can't wait to meet him or her!

We would like to ask for your prayers for a continued healthy pregnancy and also prayers for Cody to find a good job. The one he was offered and started seemed to be going well, but they told him that although they thought he was a great person, had a wonderful work ethic and showed lots of enthusiasm, that they didn't think this job was his cup of tea. Needless to say, he is very sad and disappointed, and quite frankly, very stressed out. We are trying to take things a day at a time. Thank you for your support!
Much love,
Lisa and Cody

28 Weeks

We are now at 28 weeks. I had the fun of doing the glucose challenge test today, to test for gestational diabetes. Ick! But I passed the blood test, so not diabetic! (This is just a routine test these days for those of you that are wondering.) We did find out that I have a low hemoglobin so joy of all joys, I get to start iron pills. Oh, well, could be worse! Baby is growing and healthy and we are so excited!

I just wanted to say that I hope My Uncle Myron in NM and my Uncle Curt in MN are both recovering and healing well! I think of you both often!

27 Weeks!

Hello Everyone!

We are at 27 weeks today! Can you believe it! January 9th is getting closer! Of course, most moms don't deliver on their due date. (5 % to be exact). So, one never knows! I am feeling great! Both Cody and I are over the stomach virus we had and thankful for that!

We got to spend the past Saturday evening with Jeff, Kristi, Aidyn and Nolan, and also Donna, Craig and Brett. We met for supper in the cities and had a lovely visit.

Cody started his new job yesterday! We are thankful for that and he seems to be liking it.

Take care all!

Love, Lisa and Cody

Job

Hello everyone!
Cody got offered a job and is taking it. He starts Oct. 8th. So that is a relief for both of us as well. He will be working in Stewart, which is south of Litchfield about 25 miles or so. It is a company called Midwest Industrial Tools. So far it sounds very interesting to him. We hope he can end up with day shift instead of evening after his training is done. This job has great benefits and better health care, so we'll be switching family health to his plan for sure!

We are 25 weeks and counting today! So exciting and sometimes overwhelming! It seems there is still so much to do! I am feeling ok except for a bout with a stomach virus this week. Still fighting it.....not much I can do except drink clear liquids and have bland food. It's getting very annoying. Oh well....it could be worse! Thank goodness I have this week off.
Take care all!
See you soon!
Lisa and Cody

23 Weeks

Hello everyone! Well, it's been 3 weeks instead of 2 since my last "baby bump" pic. So here is 23 weeks......I am not at all sure where the heck this baby is gonna go? I don't think there's much more room there! But there has to be!!! 17 weeks left, so there better be more room left! Haha! I am feeling very good and have a healthy appetite. Still the absolutely strange craving for radishes! Weird......I know! I have a co-worker that saw a recipe for radish dip and clipped it for me. I'll let you know how that goes!

Cody has been busy around the house and is job shadowing today at a potential employer. He set up the crib yesterday! So exciting!
