She did not like it so much when Samuel tried to get away from her
And here is the face to prove it!
Happy again!

So cute! They love each other!
Look at how pretty she is!
Remember those poppy things? Samuel was cracking up!
He even tried it on his finger!
So today I have a doctors appointment. I have to decide where I am having the baby. I am very confused right now. I can have the baby here in New Jersey (it is about 10 minutes from my aunts house). However, it is about 45 minutes to an hour away from where i am living in Pennsylvania. When I had Samuel, the hospital we were at was also about 45 minutes away so I know it is doable. I just don't think it is smart to see yet another different doctor at this point in my pregnancy. I have about 4 1/2 weeks left so I think I need to just settle down with one doctor. My aunt highly recommends this doctor, so after I meet her, I am going to decide what to do. I am just nervous about being an hour away just in case of an emergency. I know that God will work it out and right now I am just praying that I will know without a shadow of a doubt that I am in labor when it comes. No false labor. God is in control and I know whatever happens, it will be ok.
We are at my aunts house right now for another 2 weeks and then we will be moved into our apartment in Pennsylvania. Josh started his job and he seems to really be loving it. He's not doing to much right now because his manager is away until the beginning of next week.
My beautiful little niece is going to be 1 on Friday. I cannot believe it. She is quite the character!! I have to get pictures on here, but she has finally grown enough hair to put it in a little sprout on top. She looks ADORABLE. She is the happiest little baby girl. She looks so funny walking because she is so short! I love her.... I can't wait to see her next weekend!
I'm going to go see my grandparents on Saturday which I am also really excited about! I miss them very much and they are getting older so it is time to spend as much time as possible with them!! My grandpa is going to be 92 in August and my grandma is going to be 88 ( maybe 89) in May!!! They are still living on their own and doing well. My grandpa has lost his eyesight completely at this point. He has diabetes and his eyes started going years ago, but now he is completely blind. They are managing and my mom found services to help them at home so that my grandma can have a break. My grandpa was in World War II and has a purple heart so all of these services are free! I'm so happy for them :-)
Anyway, that's the update!! I have to get new pictures on here soon!!!!!

So this pregnancy is really towards the end.... Please pray for me, I keep having contractions and I am soooooo tired! I keep also getting dehydrated! BAD BAD!! I need to drink lots of water. I went to the doctor and found out that I am a week ahead of where I am!! 35 weeks and 1 day. Sweet. Pray that this baby stays put until after our official move to PA which is going to be April 10th... Thanks!~!
Josh passed his test!!! Oh my goodness what a relief. I can breathe now! Thank you GOD!!!
Josh passed his first part of his test which is awesome! However, he failed the second part today. He has a second shot at it on Monday. They are allowing him to practice before he takes it, but if he doesn't pass on Monday, he doesn't have a job. So please pray that he passes. He sounds pretty confident and he knows what he did wrong. So please pray!!!! We want this job!!!
Oh my goodness I am so excited. It has been a long 7 weeks, but when I got here, it felt like I was gone for such a short time! It was so good to come out of the airport and have my WHOLE family waiting there. Including my little niece. What a cutie. Oh my goodness she is walking all over the place! And what a personality! I was so relieved that she remembered me. She came to me right away and played with me for most of the night (Except for the part when she was mad at me because I wouldn't let her have my camera. Then she gave me her angry eyes and ignored me). Such cute pictures of her!
Samuel did amazing again on the flights. He is a real trooper. I am so proud of him! He LOOOOVVVEESSSS to fly. He gets really excited every time. He was so tired right before we got on our last flight and he slept the whole flight and woke up really happy and he was so excited to see my family. By the time we got back to my mom's house, he was all over the place playing and smiling. I didn't realize how much he must have really missed being here. It was almost like he never skipped a beat. Got right back into playing! Love him..
Today is the first of Josh's 2 big tests! This is it. If he doesn't pass these, he doesn't get the job. I have so much confidence in him though. This isn't a written test, this is an evaluation. He has to run an actual scenario of planes coming in and him directing them where to go. There are two parts to it. Ground and Local. Today is the ground part of it and tomorrow is the local. He feels pretty confident on the Ground section, but a little nervous about the Local. SO please if you think of him, pray! He is taking the test this morning at 10 (central time) and tomorrow 9 (central time).
So that is the deal!!! I will post pictures hopefully soon!!!

And I cannot sleep. Not good. So I thought I'd update my blog. Just three more days until I go home! I am so excited to see my family. It has been hard being away from everyone. It has especially been hard being away from my niece. I am so upset, she started walking after I left and she is making all kinds of attempts to talk. She is really so cute. I am going to squeeze her as soon as I see her!
While I was here a couple of cool things happened. I read through 2 books (TRUST ME that is quite an accomplishment!) One of them that I finished and I know I have said it many times is The Power of a Praying Wife. It was such an encouragement. I highly recommend it. Very easy read and very powerful. I am starting a new book on Parenting. Scary. I have mixed feelings about reading it for two reasons. 1.) It's time to face the fact that I am officially a mom. I am reading a book on parenting..sheesh. and 2.) I'm afraid to see what I've possibly done wrong with my son! He has changed a lot since we've been here. He is listening better and is definitely closer with me and his daddy which I love. He makes me laugh all of the time. What a cutie...
Anyway, I should probably try to get to bed. ARGHHH! This part of pregnancy stinks!! So restless!

Baby's foot :-)
My little peanut is now 4 pounds, is laying head first and is very active. This little one's butt is in my ribs...she had to dig around my ribs to get a good shot and the baby didn't like that too much. The heartbeat rate is 135, fluids are good, placenta is good. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT!! Hooray. Measuring right on schedule. I love this baby and cannot wait to see him/her!!
Helloooo all...
I just thought I"d post a quick post. It is early and I have to go to the doctors for a sonogram and the dreaded glucose test....So close to getting out of that test. But, I should probably do it being that I got out of it with Samuel.... I am excited to see how the baby is sitting in my stomach. Last night I was pretty sure he/she wanted to come out of my stomach through my bellybutton. It seemed as if he/she stood up right under my belly button!! So cute. I cannot wait to see this baby. I keep looking at Rachel's pictures of her newborn baby and it is reminding me of how sweet little babies are...even though they keep you up at night.. It's all out of good intentions though, they just want to make sure you aren't missing them too much :-)
Have I ever told you guys that my neice is a total cutie...I was on the phone with my mom yesterday and she was watching Jael while my sister was getting dental work done. Jael LOVES my brother Jonathan. So she was eating cherrios and he walked out of the room and I hear my mom saying "Jael it's ok it's ok" I could just see what was playing out..BIG poochy lip and the waterworks started. I mean her life was over. How could Jonathan walk out of that room! As soon as he walked back in she stopped. I love her...A little princess...Anyway, I HAVE to get going....I'll post pictures soon!!!
