Well, it's been over a month. I've had some difficulty loading pictures the last couple times I've tried to post. But finally, here we are with a brief update.
After a night below freezing, our yard was looking pretty lousy. (It was looking pretty bad even before the freeze.) Anyways, we got to work and trimmed the flower bushes, raked, and Miguel even planted a few rows of sweet corn. I smile to see our little garden plot. We'll have to see how it turns out!
Miguel invested in a spot cleaner for his auto detailing work and we tried it out on our rug. I must say, it does a pretty good job!
Four weeks ago, I decided enough was enough with excuses about piano practice by my students and decided to plan a challenge. Depending on how many times they practiced each week, they earned a smaller or larger prize at the end of four weeks. I'm thankful to report that I was pleased with the results as practice definitely increased and I could tell by their performance!
For the last six weeks, I have been assisting in the Hilos art class with the 7th-9th graders. They (we) have been learning how to draw anime or cartoon faces. I was privileged to also participate and here I am presenting my drawing.
On March 5th, Jackie planned a baby shower for me along with the help of all these beautiful ladies. I felt very blessed by their attention and gifts.
We also had some good laughs as they guessed the size of my baby bump. Miguel came for a few of the activities. We showed off our skills feeding each other baby food and dressing a doll both while blind folded.
It was a lovely time.
Finally, baby update!
Ultrasound pictures from 29 weeks!
Saluting with his foot!
Baby bump from 30 weeks!
He has been kicking and wiggling a lot and pushes on my ribs now. Just 8 weeks to go!
Balancing work and baby and everything else has been somewhat stressful lately, however my work responsibilities will be decreasing/transitioning over the next month. Please continue to pray that the transition can go smoothly and that I can remember that first and foremost I am a daughter of God (before my work or being a mom or wife). Thanks for your love and prayers!
