So I've been watching some VH1 New Kids on the Block Behind the Music along with a live concert last night (please don't laugh!). I must say I LOVE their music. They even sang You Got It (The Right Stuff) last night at the concert. It really took me back. I think I'm gonna go get their new CD or (hint, hint, Mike!) it would make a great gift! Now if only Justin Timberlake would put out a new album....

A Must Read!

I recently finished reading this book, which a friend let us borrow. It is a must read that will change your life. Sometimes when tragedy comes into our lives, we ask God why- and of course, we're not meant to understand completely. I have experienced this firsthand, and have cried out to the Lord so many times with this same question. This book combines tragedy with elements that allow us to understand God more deeply. It also reminds us of God's love for us. You will cry, laugh, worry and experience a renewed love for God!

The nursery

I'm finally back to the blogging world after a short hiatus. We've been pretty busy and my laptop was in the shop for a little bit. We are slowly working on the nursery. Everything has been cleaned out and it is basically a blank canvas! The crib is on it's way (thanks, mom and dad Cox!) and we purchased a changing table/dresser that has already arrived. The crib is just like the picture, only white. I've picked out some fabrics and have decided to have someone sew the bedding for me. I've also added a solid pink in the mix- it will all make sense when it's all done. AND the fabrics are much prettier in person.

I haven't really been feeling her move, and found out from my last appointment that I have an anterior placenta, which means that the placenta is in the front and that's why I can't feel her move yet. The doctor said that it should move to it's correct position in the next few weeks and then I will be able to feel more- which is exciting!

I've been feeling great- and trying not to overdo it at school. I am teaching after school two days a week for now. Mike's mom and dad are coming this weekend, which we are excited for. There are several shopping events that weekend- a Christmas show and a children's clothing sale- so I'm looking forward to that!
