Judah is growing!
In just three short months we will celebrate Judah's first birthday! Now, that is hard to believe! This year has gone so fast! Judah just turned 9 months, and he is learning new things every day! His eighth month was HUGE! He was late in learning to sit up by himself, so during the last month he has learned to sit up and he has started crawling! We are learning how difficult it can be to have a mobile infant in our little trailer! So many "no-no"s! Judah is still a little small compared to other babies his age: he is in the 2nd percentile for weight. But, I've learned not to let that bother me, as long as he is happy and active! He sleeps incredibly well and loves his "sleep time blanket". He also loves to play with his toys and read books.
We have been getting along good in our trailer during this winter so far. I can't remember what I've mentioned before,but there have been some winter-related headaches with the trailer, causing us to temporarily be without water, a cold refrigerator or laundry, but God has placed wise and helpful people in our path to help out with those concerns. Andy's brother, Jeremy, came home from the building project in Florida for Christmas, and while he was home he helped us develop a better system for getting water to our trailer. That was a blessing.
On another note, this month I have been reflecting on last year. Last year at this time I was put on bedrest and we spent three weeks in the hospital in Des Moines, followed by 8 more weeks on bedrest at home. That seems like another life entirely! I remember watching the Super Bowl and the presidential inauguration in my hospital bed. Many of you followed our progress and faithfully prayed for us as I stayed in bed in hopes of sustaining the pregnancy as long as possible. I'm happy to be on the other side of all of that now! It might be fun for me to go back and read all my blog entries for that time, just to remember it all and see how God worked!
Well, I hope you are all having a safe and healthy start to 2010! Thanks for checking in with us!
