I am 36 weeks and had my first weekly dr. apt today. Everything looks like it should as of right now. He checked me and I am not dilated at all or thinned out yet. However my cervix is beginning to soften but that's about it. I am definitely more tired then I used to be. I am not sick of being pregnant yet...yet!
We are taking the teens camping this weekend. It's about an hour an a half away and we get to sleep in cabins so I figured I'll go and experience the fun!

35 weeks!
Here are Jaxen and I at 35 weeks! I can't believe it's already so close to the end! We're headed to Springfield this weekend Friday and Saturday for a baby shower. Mom and my sisters are throwing a shower for us and I am pretty excited! Not much is new here. Experienced my first contraction last week...it was half over before I realized what it was. So far all of Jaxen's clothes, bedding, and blankets are washed and ready for him. After this weekend's shower I'm sure I'll have more to get ready but as of right now I'm ready to go.

34 Weeks!
Well here I am and made it through another week of camp! Last week we took our jr. high and it went great! I came home with a head cold though that I can't seem to shake, probably just from being over tired.
Jaxen is doing good! He is so far up my ribs I have no idea where he is going to grow and go for the next 6ish weeks. I'm sure he will find a place he hasn't already invaded some how. During camp I think I wore him out more so then being at home but now that we are home he is moving around a lot more. We were sitting in church yesterday morning and he got the hiccups and you could see my belly just bounce. Such an exciting and unusual feeling! We are trying to get his room finished quickly. I will post some pictures of his finished room as soon as we can.

A great week at camp!
We left last Monday with 12 of our high school students to attend camp for the week. It was absolutly amazing! I was 32 weeks pregnant and a little worried about how I would handle lack of sleep and change of schedule through out the week but it went wonderful!
Our students responded fantastically to the spirit moving through the camp. Josh Barret was the speaker for the week, I hadn't heard him before and he did a fantastic job! We had prayed for him for over 2 months that God would speak through him and He totally did!
I got to lead 1 of my girls to the Lord Tuesday night, as always is a great experience! The excitement never gets old when I get to lead someone to Christ! We had students say they were giving up cussing, stop living the comfortable christian life and start living an on fire for God christian life! Praise the Lord for a fantastic week!
We leave with our Jr. High students on Monday for another full week! Please pray that it all goes just as good for this next week too!

Heading to camp!
We leave for sr. high camp on Monday! I am so stinkin' excited I can't wait! I love camp with a passion! I seriously haven't missed a summer camp since 4th grade! I will be 32 weeks pregnant. We take the jr. high the following week but I'll post how our first week goes!
Please pray that God will really take our students walk to the next level with Him! So many of them come to church, but it doesn't flow over to their daily life. They don't cuss at church or drink or wear things that are toooo inappropriate on Sunday or Wednesday's nights but outside of church it's a totally different story! I'm sure there are many adults like that too. I love working with teens b/c they're modable and impressionable. They can be deffinetly challenging but they are so rewarding!
I've been feeling great and can't believe I am within 9 weeks of my due date! I am totally growing bigger and bigger! It's harder to get out of bed, shave my legs, get dressed, carry laundry baskets, etc. But it is an experience that I have loved and am so glad I'm getting to go through. My lower back is hurting more often so Brandon is becoming and expert back rubber! My teenage girls spent the night Friday night and painted my toes and finger nails for me!

29 Weeks!!!!
Holly cow I'm 29 weeks pregnant!!! That's insane! Roughly 11 weeks to go...crazy! I'm still feeling great and enjoying it all. I definitely get out of breath easier and can't wait to fit into my American Eagle jeans again, but everything is great and well worth the experience!
It's been a few weeks since I've posted b/c it's been crazy around here so I'll do a quick update. We got to go on vacation to see family in Oklahoma and Springfield at the end of June. We had a shower thrown for us in Oklahoma and got spoiled with gifts! Vacation was great getting to spend it with family and having no schedule! Sleeping in is the best!!
While on vacation, both of my parents got the results to their scans and they are both doing great! Mom's came up clear and they will just monitor here with continued scans every 3 months for a while! Praise the Lord! 1 1/2 years of chemo and bless her heart it was all worth it! Dad's scans came out nice too. His liver and lyphnodes didn't show any spots of cancer and the only tumor that was left was in his colon. He had surgery this past Thursday to remove about a foot of colon that included the tumor and he went through surgery great! He gets to go home today and continue to take it easy for a while. Last June he was diagnosed with 2 seperate unrelated stage 4 cancers and they thought surgery would be too dangerous to do so the fact he was considered for surgery is a miracle in itself. Thank you for all of you who prayed for them!
