New Car Seats & Car Race!

HAVE A SEAT!!!!

Having a new baby means we need ALL KINDS of new seats!! Car seats, bumbo seats, high chair, bouncy seats, more seats in the car.

Yesterday was SEAT DAY-we got 2 REALLY IMPORTANT seats from UPS and FEDEX.

The first one is Nineya's car seat.  Here it is and I LOVE IT!  It's the GRACO SNUGRIDE INFANT CAR SEAT-ZOEY.  Isn't it sweet?  The kids snapped and unsnapped it a million times already practicing for the baby.

The second one is JUST as important. We have SEARCHED AND SEARCHED for a solution to adding a 9th person to our Expedition EL or possibly purchasing a church bus or HUMONGO van.  The van idea is NOT FOR US for many reasons but the main reason is FOUR WHEEL DRIVE.  Those passenger vans DO NOT come in 4WD standard and to add it to a van, the total price is around $50,000-NO.can.Do.

We live on a farm-Literally IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.  I MUST HAVE Four Wheel Drive to even get out of my driveway in the winter. The Captain is gone quite a bit so if an emergency came up and he was gone with his 4WD truck, I would be stranded.

Remember this picture of our driveway this winter?? So, the van is a NO GO!

HERE IS THE SOLUTION!! I was SO HAPPY to see it come yesterday.  These 2 princesses will occupy the new seat (in car seats of course)!  We got it at JAT DESIGNS.  It will bolt in behind our 2nd row of seats and be a 3rd row seat and now our vehicle seats 11! It has a convenient lever that folds the seat down so when I go grocery shopping I will still have room.

OF COURSE, the box was WAY more fun than the seats!

We had our AWANA Grand Prix this past Sunday.

Here are some of the cool cars the kids made.

Bean did a good job on his car "MIRACLE MAKER" M&M.

His car made it to the semi-finals.

T had the "HE IS RISEN" car.

It was a slow one but she had fun making it!

I will be 28 weeks tomorrow!

I am still on modified bed rest until Nineya gets here!

My sweet cousin will be coming for the weekend to help out while The Captain is away and 3 people have been kind and gracious enough to bring us a meal this week-BOY that was SUCH A BLESSING!

God knows JUST WHAT WE NEED & WHEN! I feel SO BLESSED!

I have my 3-D ultrasound, glucose test and much more on Monday at the OB.

I AM SO VERY EXCITED & Blessed that my homeschool & church friends are having my FIRST baby shower next week-I can't WAIT!!!

Me, Baby and Bible Quizzing!

Here I am at 21 weeks!

(notice the RUMP?-junk in da trunk-WHOA!)

I am having some complications.

My proteinuria has quadrupled in the last month so I will be seeing a nephrologist  (kidney specialist) in "the big city" for close monitoring next week.

ON A WONDERFUL NOTE

HERE is baby Nineya.  PERFECT in every way!

They measured everything from her lips to her toes last Tuesday & she is

ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS!

Notice her sweet arm tucked under her chin?

The Captain got to feel the first kicks a few nights ago-WHAT A BLESSING!

Her movement and perfect sonogram are confirmation to us that God is in control here.

He's in control of her development and of my health problems.

We are both HIS and he will take care of us.

On a fun note-2 weeks ago Bean and "T" both attended

AWANA Bible quizzing.

Part of the quizzing was a written test which they did well on and part is

asked orally & answered on a stage with cards marked A, B & C.

They were both nervous but did well.

I am very proud to say that both their teams brought home the first place plaques and medals.

Awana is a WONDERFUL program!

It has not only helped the kids hide God's word in their hearts,

But as a leader, has helped me do the same!
