Plans for the next book in the series: 

I have an app that tells me the general size of the baby as it grows. It's been a blueberry, raspberry and most recently a green olive. I guess Katie's next guess is a mushroom!

This baby sure is lucky to have sweet cousins!

Crazy week

My poor mom has been in the hospital all week. She had a blood which destroyed half her kidney. Her other kidney took over, so that part is ok but the scary thing is that these clots are usually a result of a bad heart problem. Luckily the doctors could not find anything wrong with her heart. But that was scary! She was just discharged today and it's going to be a couple of weeks before her pain goes away and she's moving around like normal. We are all so thankful that there is nothing more serious going on.

This baby needs Grandma! Please pray for my mom to heal well and for my dad to remember to take care of himself while he's caring for her.
