sarah and lilly @ 32weeks

Little glimpse into Lilly’s room…

her books, her little frog, door handle scripture, and her bulletin board...

Getting ready for her arrival...

Her infant seat from the Johnson's set up in her little corner of the house.

Your Beautiful by: Phil Wickham

I loooovvveee this song!
Your Beautiful by: Phil Wickham

I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It’s all proclaiming who You are
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful

I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You’re beautiful, you're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

Happy 1st Fathers Day, Joel!

Happy Fathers Day Daddy- Love Lilly!

Yumm….

Doesn’t this remind you of an elegant version of Costco’s ice cream berry sundae…yumm lets go there!

31 weeks and counting…

I feel as if I am getting bigger by the second. I can tell she is growing like crazy this week. The ultrasound tec said Lilly is apx 3lbs 8ounces right now. And from here on out they say she will grow about 1/2lb each week.

3D Technology...

Here is our little girl in 3D action! Her face is a little to the right of the camera and that little thing in front of her face is her foot.

I went to the doctors last week and I mentioned that I had noticed that the little one wasn’t moving around quite as much in the last two days, which I figured was just because she is getting bigger and she is probably running out of space to twirl around in there… however the doctor wanted to take a closer look, so he monitored her heart rate for about 20mins and even wanted to do an ultrasound. Therefore, my 15min check up appointment turned out being over 2hours long. It was nice to know that the doctor was willing to do so much to look after our baby and to just remain pre-cautious. I wouldn’t have had any more ultrasounds or any more pictures of our baby until she was born, so it turned out to be a huge blessing! The ultrasound tec was super informative, she walked me through everything she was looking for and really encouraged me that Lilly was doing great. She was looking for the amount of fluid, muscle tone strength, and practice breaths. She said she was really pleased with everything we were looking for! So, the little peanut seems to be doing just great!

Me and my awesome co leader, briana @ 80's night at camp.

One of my favorite new songs was Hold Me Now, a song about heaven!
(here are the lyrics!)

On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace

All my fears swept away
In the light of your embrace
When Your love is all I need
And forever I am free

Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence here to hold
Let these songs of heaven rise to you alone

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sickening
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now

In this life finally stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fails

When You're name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your Name
I'll be living' for the day

When the wars has finally cease
All creation rest in peace
Let these songs of heaven rise to you alone

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sickening
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name...x4

baby shower pictures!

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate the coming arrival of our precious little girl. We were extremely blessed by all your generosity! We are so thankful to Our Lord for each one of you!

Precious Diaper Cake!

Sara thank you so much for the time and love you put into making this sweet gift! It is so beautiful, we loved it!

games...

One of the games we played was having to guess what kind of chocolate candy bar was inside each diaper. The candy was smashed up and then all gooey from being warmed up in the microwave so you really had to sniff at them to guess what it was. This was a great idea because it definitely got some great pictures!
