This is week 20! Can you believe it? I can't. Friends and sisters have given me some good books to read and I have started reading some of them. Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy is hilarious! Thanks Tascha! She tells it how it is...the good and the bad. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is pregnant or as a gift for a pregnant friend. Brian has even starting doing some reading...hehe...okay, not totally his choice. But by golly, shouldn't they have to learn some things too?!? He has been a great husband throughout this pregnancy...I some of you think you have the best husband....but we will just have to agree to disagree :)
Keep us in your prayers as our ultrasound data approaches rapidly! Thanks!
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7

Fun Weekend
We had a packed weekend and it was a blast! We started off Friday night heading to Indy to hang out with Lacey and Jerome. We tried a new Irish restaurant and found a great mall. We can't wait to go back! Then on Saturday we attended a great fall party! We played games, had a bonfire, and was entertained by a band of....well....kids! Each member was younger than 15 years old and they were great! Sunday Brian and I went Lucas Oil to watch the Colts beat the Ravens. WOW....that place is huge! We had great weather and were busy all weekend. I am definitely ready for bed!

Girls Night
I love excuses for girls night! Last night we sent my grandma off to Florida with one last fling out at Biaggi's...yum! I think I had enough bread and oil for a life time (well probably not...I am sure I will have more!). It was fun getting to catch up with everyone. It seems like I seem some of my aunts and grandma only at Thanksgiving!

Week 18
Well this is week 18....we are almost to the half way point and even closer to the point where we will hopefully be able to determine whether it's a boy or girl! My family has made up their mind...and are split about 50/50. A few people have work have said I have started showing and I have officially stopped wearing some of my pants. We went to look for maternity clothes, and I am just not sure yet. I did find some cute ones though. We just got a pair of pants and a couple shirts. We have a doctor's appt. this week and then our next one should be our ultrasound. Can't wait :)

What Would You Do?

What would you do TODAY, if you knew Jesus was coming TOMORROW?
Doesn't this really make you think? It was the topic of our sermon this week. It really made me think: Am I doing everything I should be doing? Helping those who need help? Spending time daily talking to God? And so much more!
Our reading was out of 2 Peter where it says Christians were becoming disappointed ans scared that Christ had not yet returned to rescue them from evil and suffering, like promised. He explained (3:8) With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day. So even though is has been 2,000 years, some might wonder, is he ever coming back? But from God's eternal perspective, it has only been two days!
God is giving everyone time to find Him. 2 Peter 3:9...He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to him in repentance.
I thought this was great message and left me with plenty to think about.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Need Tickets!
Well, not too much is going on just keeping busy doing this and doing that.
We are looking for tickets to the Pitt. vs. ND game on November 1st. I have a lot of people keeping their eyes and ears peeled....so I thought I'd put it on here also. We've been checking ebay, but they have been a bit expensive for our taste. After the way they played this weekend, maybe they will start going a bit cheaper!
Hope everyone is doing well. It seems like we haven't seen everyone in quite sometime!
Have a good one!
Brian and Ginger

Gooooo I-rish!

Well it definitely wasn't the prettiest win ever, and Michigan did help out a lot by continually giving the ball back to us....but a win is a win! We might as well celebrate 2-0 while we have it to celebrate! Poor Charlie...did everyone see his knee when his player took him out? Ouch! So all you Irish fans another week to celebrate! Let's hope it continues at Michigan State!

Sound like a Frog?

Well I went back to school today and my how honest kids are. Within the first ten minutes of being there one of my students said I "sounded like a frog" and it was hard to listen to me. Then as the day continued my entire class said my coughing was annoying and I should have stayed home another day.
Sounds like they really missed me, huh?

Baby's Heartbeat

Well today we went to our 14 week appointment and go to hear the baby's heartbeat! It was healthy and strong. They had to use a different monitor thing so they didn't get an actual number, but said it sounded like it would be in the 150's. Sounded great to us! Eight more weeks and we should be able to determine the sex of the baby. They don't want to do the ultrasound at our next appoitment because it might be a little early to tell.

Great Football Weekend!


Yah! ND pulled off a great victory, then the Bears followed it up by beating the Colts! Even though it was a great football weekend, our household has been filled with some illness. I've been sick all weekend battling a low fever and cough. Yuck! It is ten times worse being sick AND pregnant! Usually I would have loaded up on some good meds and been on my way. Yeah...not this weekend. I loaded up on some good ole water, rest, and a tylenol here and there. All of which were not extremely helpful. Slowly but surely getting better....
