Baby Shower for LJ

Our friends at church threw a baby shower for us and LJ. We were extremely overwhelmed at the generosity of everyone that attended and gave gifts.

LJ (Little James) at 28 weeks

Here is today's 3-D ultrasound of baby James taken at 28 week. You can see almost his whole face (he's nestled up against Mommy) and both of his hands.

Pregnancy Progressing

We just had a visit to the doctor and it appears that everything is going just fine in our pregnancy. We are currently at 24 weeks with mom and baby doing just fine. Hopefully, this will be the norm for the remaining 16 weeks and I'll be holding my boy at the beginning of November.

It's a Boy!

We just found out right this very second that we're having a boy. How exciting! Now we can start deciding how we're going to decorate the nursery. We're going to have him carry on my name and be the "III."

New Child and Job Search Continues

Well, it's finally happened! After 5+ years of trying, my wife and I are finally expecting our first child. This is most definitely a gift from God as my wife had just about all but given up hope of us having a child naturally, though I always had faith that He would make it happen when he thought it best for us.

That was the positive and this is the not-so-positive: my most recent assignment ended on Friday. I am sure God will provide me with a way to continue to support my (growing!) family so I am not afraid of what the future may hold. I did have an interview this morning for a position open at a restaurant downtown and I though it went well. I should hear something either this evening or tomorrow about whether I have been chosen for it. In the meantime, I will continue to apply for jobs and pray that God will provide as he always does.
