A quick update

Just a quick update: We're moved, almost completely unpacked (thanks to lots of help from family and friends!), and I'm so thankful! I forgot how nice it was to have order in my home and not live surrounded by boxes. Now I can't wait to start getting back into the swing of things and get a good routine going so that I don't continue the "pajama trend." However, it looks like "getting back into the swing of things" is going to have to wait - at least a short while - as I started having some difficulty in my pregnancy yesterday. We're not sure if it has to do with all the activity of the past two weeks and if I just overdid it, or if it's something more serious. I'm staying off my feet for the next few days and we're hoping it will just be a minor hiccup.

Pray with us that God would protect our precious child and bless he or she with health, if that be His will. And pray for peace for me and wisdom and strength for Jesse. He starts a new and very challenging job today and has much on his plate with that, not to mention all his responsibilities as husband and father. I told him yesterday that he is a better husband and father than I could have ever even dared hope for. God has blessed me so much through him. Pray for him to have an extra abundant measure of grace and blessing this week.

Thank you all for the encouragement and support you have been to us in recent months. I feel as if I have been in a needy place in my life for the last few months and so very many of you - many I don't even know at all! - have prayed for us, encouraged us, and blessed us. God's love has shown through you all and we are humbled to be the unworthy recipients.

By the way, our internet is very unreliable right now - yesterday I could only get on for about 15 minutes. I'm woefully behind on emails and such. Thank you for your patience with me if you've been waiting on a response to an email.

I think you've got some pretty whacked out views but I'd never wish harm on you or your baby. I pray all will be well.

I'll be praying for smooth sailing from here on out. I had trouble with 2 of 3 pregnancies, so I know how scary it is. By God's grace it will be something that doesn't recur.

I moved twice during my second pregnancy,so I can relate to how a move wipes you out.My husband started a new job in February of 1994 and we moved to the new city a month later.The week before we moved I found I was expecting.3 months later we bought our house so off we went again!!

I'm glad to hear that you're all settled and I hope Jesse's new job works out.

Also hope you're taking it easy! Don't hesitate to call your midwife if you have any questions!

Crystal,

God bless you and your family as you unpack. Moving is so hard, especially when pregnant! I pray that your little scare is nothing, dear sister in Christ.

I've been on bedrest with 5 out of the last 6 pregnancies, and at 26 weeks am having contractions again - I can relate! Shoot me an email if you want to talk about it - I've been on bedrest with toddlers too and I know how hard it can be.
