Andy and Judah leave tomorrow for their big trip to Iowa!  We are busy tonight getting everything ready for them to leave...laundry, packing bags, packing the car, shopping for last minute things, etc.  They will take off very early tomorrow morning.  I'm not sure I will be able to watch them go without lots of tears!

I wish that this trip was just a couple weeks earlier and then I would have been able to go with them.  I am now 17 weeks along in the pregnancy, and my ability to travel away from home ended at 16 weeks.  Now I have weekly doctor appointments and doctor's orders to stay close to home. 

There is no doubt I will miss my little Judah's babbling, singing, smiles and everything else about my little boy.  I hope he doesn't change too much while he's gone or forget the way Mama does things.  I'm sure it will be a happy reunion when they come home in late July.  Please pray for safety on the road for Andy and Judah.  Please also pray for me while I'm in Michigan: health and safety for me and baby and that I wouldn't miss my family too much.

While they are away I plan to work on Judah's scrapbook.  I hope to start it and finish it while they are gone!  I also plan on doing a lot of reading.  The plan is to just take it easy so that I don't do too much to possibly stir up trouble with the pregnancy.

We look forward to how God will orchestrate things for Andy's work back in Iowa.  He will be working on our property to get hook-ups established for our 5th-wheel trailer.  He is also scheduled to speak at a workshop at the CBM family conference in Ankeny.  Wish I could be there for that too!  I always love family conference! 

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!
