I LOVE being pregnant!

Two weeks ago we had our ultrasound appointment. We saw the tiny toes and knees, the elbows and little fingers, the spine, stomach, umbilical cord, eye, pointy little nose and smiling mouth (Yes "fefe" really was smiling)

WHAT A MIRACLE!

Every little movement I feel, or movement we get to watch together, we are just amazed at what is happening inside. It's a little baby, OUR little baby.

We can't wait til Dec 1st (or earlier possibly as the ultrasound shows) to find out whether our little miracle is a boy or a girl. LOVE BIG SURPRISES!!!

Here I am today, just about to start my 25th week!! ALmost mid-way through Month #6!

a mini catch you up...

Wow...it's been awhile.

We have been busy moving out of our Gualo Rai house and into a new house up by NMC College. It is ALOT closer to the school for Jake. Once December 1st comes/BABY VAN DAM I will no longer be working at Gold's Gym but will instead stay home with my baby!

Today, as I write this brief update, I am officially starting my 23rd week of pregnancy and feeling GREAT and very healthy!

Jake is gearing up for school to start on Monday with the new school year. There are 4 new teachers for the school year and Jake is very happy and excited to be going back to work and a job that he loves.

His sister Beth will be moving out here sometime later in August to work at a public school close to the new house, AND she will also be living with us. We are both very happy and excited to have some blood family here with us! It'll make home even a bit more like home!

=)

God is good!

Love,

the Van Dams
