First Day of School
Today was Andrew's first day of school and I promised Nana I would post some pictures. We didn't get but a couple because we were running kind of late.
We've been praying about this day for a long time now and Andrew did pretty well. His teacher said there were a few times he didn't want to do what she said, but as the day progressed he got better. I dropped him off in the cafeteria and watched him line up and put his hands behind his back like they were told to do. Then he marched off to his class like he had been doing it forever. I cried. But I'm pregnant so I'm using that as my excuse. It was a very long day and when I picked him up at 3 (after much waiting due to the craziness of elementary school traffic) he was worn out! But we had promised we would take him to Chuck E. Cheese's if he was good so that's exactly what we did. When we put him to bed at 8 I think he fell right to sleep. Poor guy....now he has to wake up and do it all over tomorrow.

30
I've been dreading my birthday all year. Unfortunately it still happened and I turned 30 yesterday against my will. I've never felt different or older on any other birthday except this one. It might be that I'm pregnant and tired all the time anyway, but I feel different.
Oh and I feel huge. If I'm only about two months pregnant, I'm on the road to being 600 lbs. by the time this baby arrives. I really do think I'm further along than that, but I just don't remember my belly getting this big this quick with Andrew. People have mentioned twins more than once....LeAnn, you were the last one to mention it and I about had a heart attack because I had just learned that twins run in my distant family! I guess I'll find out on the 27th, but in the mean time I will be praying that there's only one baby in there.
Andrew starts school on the 25th. He'll be in a regular mainstream pre-k classroom all day!! I'm really anxious about this, but I think once he gets the routine down it will be really good for him. I'm anticipating several bad days though. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong.
Well, I suppose I should go be productive....not something I've been lately. :)

Another Update
Well, I promised this picture of Andrew showing his muscles so here it is:
Isn't he adorable?! This summer has been a busy one, and this last week was no different. Kendall and Mallory came to visit us and we had a wonderful time with them....way too short though.
Then we went to a Ranger's game with our pastor and his wife and then came home for more visitors. Jay's uncle Jim and his family were travelling through town so they stopped and spent the night with us. We were thrilled to get to spend some time with them! They are missionaries in Monaco so we hardly ever get to see them. Their visit was also too short.
And now for the update of the century.....drumroll please.....we're pregnant!!!
This truly must have been God's will since Jay has been gone 4 weeks out of this summer! :) We are really excited though and Andrew is too. When I told him about the baby, he started talking to my tummy and said "baby...baby...baby, come out of there." Too cute! He's saying it's a baby sister so we're hoping he's right. I don't go to the dr. until August 27th so I won't know when I'm due until then. I hate that I have to wait so long but that was the first they could fit me in. I do have a sonogram on that day so I'll post the picture of the new little Beerley as soon as we have it.
