This evening Raquelle had the hiccups. She is now big enough that you can see my whole belly move when she hiccups. Thad had his hand on my belly and was feeling all the little movements. He bent down and I thought he was going to kiss my belly or something, but instead he yelled "BOO!". Then he put his hand back to see if it worked. Sure enough, her hiccups had stopped.

Riverside Baptist church in Albany voted tonight to hire Thad as a their new youth pastor. This is something we have been praying about for several months now, and we both really felt that this church is where God is sending us. It's sad to leave our old church family behind as we have many friends there, but we are very excited to get things started at our new church. Thad is now trying to get use to being called Pastor Thad, and I am helping him with all the little details that go into planning and starting a youth program.

My little bro has a girlfirend! Isn't she cute? Can't wait to meet her, hopefully sometime soon.  

I know it's not actually Tuesday, but I wasn't home on Tuesday to measure, and I figured if I used a different brand of TP, it would throw all the measurements off! 9 weeks - 10 squares 10 weeks - 9.5 squares 11 weeks - 9.5 squares Big gap with no measurements 24 weeks - 11 squares 25 weeks - 11 squares 26 weeks - 11 squares 30 weeks - 11.5 squares 32 weeks - 12 squares One of us has grown a lot this last month! Now, when she makes the slightest movements, my whole belly changes shape and moves around. It's quite entertaining to watch, but it has also started keeping me awake at night. It's hard to sleep with someone poking you mercilessly all night long!

When we were re-arranging the nursery, we found a spot of mold. After cleaning it 3 times (it kept coming back) we went and told our manager. They supposedly cleaned it up, and it still came back again. So, finally, they sent me away for a couple days and took the wall apart and replaced the dry wall. Hopefully it won't come back now. Now that it's fixed, I feel like I can actually arrange the furniture in there however I want without worrying about mold spreading from the walls to the crib or rocking chair.

Thad is convinced that he has found the perfect coming home outfit for our sweet little baby girl. I think I may need to conveniently misplace this one or forget to pack it.  

I feel huge, so I thought I should measure again to see if it's all in my head or not. Sure enough, my belly has grown! 9 weeks - 10 squares 10 weeks - 9.5 squares 11 weeks - 9.5 squares Big gap with no measurements 24 weeks - 11 squares 25 weeks - 11 squares 26 weeks - 11 squares 30 weeks - 11.5 squares
