Getting Ready for Judah.....

We are having some teaching times to get Hannah and Caleb ready for Judah. I am teaching them how to hold him where they support his head, how to put a diaper on, and how to swaddle him in a receiving blanket. The main thing I'm trying to teach through these is how to handle him gently and watch to support his head at all times.








It's been funny (well, sort-of) to watch Caleb forget and pick the doll up by the head with his finger inside the eye socket--hehehe! Hopefully, after doing this for the next six weeks, he'll understand about supporting Judah's head and how gentle he needs to be with him.

Finally Finished.....

This is a bag I made for my friend, Deanna for her birthday. It took me quite a while to finish it. Not that it was hard, I just haven't spent much time crocheting lately. She's going to use this bag to carry around her crochet-works-in-progress.

Judah and Mama Update

I had my doc appointment last week. Carol, the nurse practitioner told me that I need to be off my feet for the better part of the day due to lots of pressure and back pain that I'm experiencing. So, that's been a challenge and I'm trying. :0) I do want what's best for Judah. He is doing very well, by the way! I also have a herniated belly button which is causing quite a bit of discomfort and some pain. Please pray that this will correct itself after birth so I don't have to have it corrected with surgery.

We are getting the house in shape to prepare for bringing Judah home in just about 10 weeks. Also, getting a place prepared for Mima to stay in while she's here! We're making progress and I'm hoping to be all done by the end of this month. Dakota is on Spring Break from MTSU this week and he will be helping me get some things accomplished. YAY, Dakota!

Thanks for all your prayers and for staying in touch with our family!

Sourdough Bread--2nd Attempt

This time it turned out much better! I'm not sure about this bread, though. This one is pretty sour. I don't care for sour bread and it makes David's stomach hurt. I thought this was supposed to be a mild sourdough. I may give it one more try before I give up.

Homemade Granola

I made this for the first time for breakfast this morning. It's yummy!

Peanut Butter Granola

We put some in a bowl and added milk to it. Yummy! It's also good just by itself.

Knitted Hat for Judah

This morning I finished this hat for Judah. It turned out better than I expected!


Can't wait to see him in it!
