So it's been way too long since I last blogged...
Ah, life has been pretty good lately. I didn't know what to title the blog, so I chose how far along I am. I have to apologize to my friends for not being such a great friend lately. I'd love to hang out more, but I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate my puking everyday. I think and hope and pray that this morning/all day sickness will be over this week. Though, I never thought I would be thankful for being so sick. A sick momma means a healthy baby. :)

I'm technically 12w1d according to LMP. but Baxter is measuring one week ahead. That means the due date was moved one week to April 28. I'm sure the baby will continue to grow big and strong. I should be able to feel movement within the next few weeks, and I cannot wait. My next appointment is November 5, which includes another ultrasound. The doctor wants to see if the placenta migrates from being right on top of the cervix (complete placenta previa) to the side of the uterus where it should be. Please pray that things will be where they need to be. Baxter is healthy, though, and that is what matters the most to us.

I went to a Ladies' Retreat in Grafton, WV (Tygart Park) this past weekend and it was so beautiful there. The leaves were changing and the mountains were echoing the beauty of fall. It made me feel like a child again. The speaker was very good, but I think what I appreciated the most was the scenery so colorfully painted by our Creator. With a palate of reds, oranges, greens, browns, and some purples, He dabbled the scenery with such brilliance and splendor.

Oh, yes, before I forget, we're looking at houses in the neighborhood. We decided that for the rent we pay now, we might as well pay a house payment, which is half the amount. We're not moving away; hopefully a few streets over! That's my life in a nutshell, for now. :) And... we signed on the house today. Hopefully everything works out so we'll be in there for Thanksgiving!!
