The baby is coming in 4 months!!!! Yay!! It is weird to think that we have less than a month left in the second trimester. Chris, my mom, and I have been doing some registry shopping lately and Chris was getting really excited. He wanted to tag anything that had a bear on it. :) And he was fascinated by all the high tech baby gear. It was so fun to see him get excited about picking out stuff for baby bear. He's so excited about our little boy!
Here's what "Bear" has been up to the past week: "A window into your womb would reveal that your baby's skin is a bit saggy, hanging loosely from his or her little body. That's because skin grows faster than fat develops, and there's not much fat to fill that skin out yet. But don't worry- the fat is about to start catching up. Beginning this week, your baby (who is around 8 inches long and just over a pound in weight) begins to pack on the pounds (which means you will, too!). In fact, by month's end, your baby will be double the weight he or she is now (fortunately, you won't be). Once those fat deposits are made, your baby will be less transparent, too. Right now, the organs and bones can still be seen through the skin, which has a red hue thanks to the developing blood veins and arteries just underneath. But by month 8, no more see-through baby!" -What to Expect
In other news, our area (New Braunfels) has been affected by the swine flu. I don't think there are any "confirmed" cases, but there are over 100 "probable" cases. They have closed all the schools and cancelled all public gatherings. Even mass was cancelled!! Fortunately no one in our family has been affected by it, other than we are all stuck at home with each other. :) But keep all those who are sick in your prayers! Hopefully this thing dies down as quickly as it started up.
I guess that's all for now. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. We are entrusting everything to God. :)

When you say our area being NB, you mean in spirit, or did ya'll leave Midland already?
Well, our stuff is still in Midland but we are currently living with my parents.
Fired or Quit?
Even though I dont call every week, we still care about ya'll and it would be nice to know whats going on when it big like that!
Someday Bears going to old enough to ask where his Grandpa "Moses" is?
I love reading this. I remember the days of weight gain and feeling the babies move all the time. Get some sleep now (everyone told me that and I was like yea whatever) But seriously get sleep now. The little boogers dont sleep much when they are out. At least not at the best times. Motherhood is AMAZING and I know Widmar loves being a daddy. I know you two will make WONDERFUL parents!!!
Thanks, Jana! We are super excited about it. I love seeing pictures of your boys on Facebook! They are adorable. :) Hope ya'll are doing well. You're in our prayers.
