Big Changes

I think most everyone knows by now that we are expecting our first child in October. We had an ultrasound a few weeks ago and everything looks good. It was such a trip to see that tiny little heartbeat! At the time, the baby only measured 7 millimeters!!! That is so incredibly small, and it amazes me that babies already have a heartbeat by then! How can anyone deny that we have a creator God who forms and holds everything together! For the most part I feel great. Mornings are a little tough and I'm tired easily, but it's all worth it.

We have been looking for a house to buy and fix up for several months now. It feels a little more rushed now that we have a baby coming. I'd like to at least have a "livable house" by the time "baby Dwayne" (that's what we are calling it until we know the gender in honor of our friend Caleb Arter) gets here. We ultimately want to be able to afford diapers and feed the baby, so getting into a big project is a bit scary. We are praying for direction on a specific house that we looked at last weekend. We both love it, which is a miracle in itself. But it's a higher price than we were looking for. So, please pray for wisdom for us in the next couple of days.

I will try to keep blogging every week or so. I'll also try to get some pictures on here sometime.
