Washington DC

Zac and I had to move our spring break trip to December since I will not be able to travel then. We celebrated our 3 year anniversary 3 months early. This year we decided to go to our nation's capital. We had an incredible time! It was definitely hard on a 20 wk pregnant body, but worth it. We could not take pictures inside the Holocaust Memorial Museum or the National Archives.

We're Having...

a baby!!! Many of you are probably wondering what color this dog is, but believe it or not, it is not another schnauzer. It is a real baby, growing inside my belly, due in April. The first sonogram we had was very surreal. Seeing the baby and hearing it's heartbeat was incredible. As I read Psalm 139, I am reminded that God sees the baby every second of every minute of every hour of every day. I am so thankful for this!

Sewing 301

This week I took my third sewing class. We made bumpers for baby beds. I used a chocolate brown and green polka dot for the outside, green minky for the inside, and chocolate brown, green, and white stripe for the ties and cording. I filled it with Boppy naked bumpers.
