something!

Right at 16 weeks, after really feeling what Sarah called the "sham" part of this pregnancy (meaning, nothing happening for weeks and weeks except peeing, and eating, and growing, with nothing to show for it) after my five am potty trip I layed in bed unable to go back to sleep willing this child to kick me. And baby did just that! At five thrity I felt two little pokes and another one at six. It is just a little thing, and nothing more since then, but at least that made Saturday morning a little better.

I appear pregnant to most of the population now, so I have stopped getting the "is she...? or maybe just....?" looks. And Ive taken to asking Jason if baby makes me look fat. :) I am feeling better, mostly because in two days I will be landing in Guatemala City with my husband and inlaws and bits of their church for a ten day work and whitness trip. And, if that werent good enough, the day we get back I have another doctor appointment and just two weeks after that, we should find out if baby is a boy or girl. Finally, there is something to look forward to that is not an eternity away.

Also, in the mean time, if any of you know anyone (or are someone) who would love to buy a nice three bedroom, two bathroom house (1000ish sq ft) on a ginormous lot (16ooo sq ft) (its all back yard, Im not kidding) with brand new paint inside and out, and all new flooring in the entire house, fridge, dishwasher and gas range included for around 135000$, please, PLEASE, send them our way. Or to Arlen. He is our fantastic realitor. We are hoping to have it off our hands by the end of the summer. If you dont know someone, just pray. :)

So, tomorrow night Jason and I drove down to California and Thursday early afternoon, we fly out of San Fransisco and into Guatemala city. Tonight, we pack.

The next time I write, there ought to be some exciting news.
