In other news, we are excited for Jeff's sister and bother-in-law, Laura and Shane to welcome their first little boy in a few weeks! By Christmas time, we will have doubled the grandchildren on the Pankewich side - that is if our little guy decides to come before Christmas. By the end of February, we will be adding yet another grandbaby to the Pankewich side. We recently recived the exciting news that Jeff's bother and sister-in-law, Skip and Steph, who have our little neice and nephew are also expecting. They are due in February! How exciting!
Reflection: Just a little reflection on how life has changed already. As my body continues to change in ways that I have absolutely no control over, I am reminded about how often I selfishly try to control my life. I am learning how I must continuly lean on Jesus Christ for my strength and trust him completely to control my life. It is not mine to control in the first place, yet I sure try to. I am also find myself noticing things I never did before and caring less about things I used to think were so important and really weren't. I am sure there are many changes ahead and many things that I will not be able to control. But the one thing I do know is that if I put my trust in Christ, he will take care of it all and all my anxiety can rest on him.

Wow!! Congratulations Jeff and Heidi! I've heard 'through the grapevine' that you're expecting...and it's a boy! We're also expecting a boy in September! I happened to notice on your sonogram pic that you're going to College Park Family Care...so are we! Who is your doctor? Ours is Dr. Kahler. I've actually seen him since I was two! Feel free to check out our blog; I just started it last week, so it's not too exciting! Congrats again!

I want to see you!! We need to figure out when we can hang out... want to meet in the middle sometime?
Good to see your belly is growing, hope you are feeling well. I can't believe how big the family will be in a few short months and can't wait to see all the new grandbabies together. I'm so close to delivering now that the excitement is almost too much to handle, but I'll try. Keep up the excitement there in Kansas with Steph!
Thanks for the comment on my blog...I'd love to talk diapers sometime. I know people that use all different kinds. My suggestion would be to find a company that offers free returns and order a bunch of different options to check out in person before baby comes. Then you may even want to narrow it down to two or three and buy just a handful of each to use in the first couple months to see which ones you really like. It is a significant investment afterall, so you gotta like what you end up with. :) I use cotton prefolds with covers and love them. Okay, I'm writing too much...let's just set up a time to chat sometime. :)
