Half way!

Whoot, whoot! I'm 20 weeks, almost 21! I know, this babe is gonna be here before I know it! I am getting so excited! Maybe in a little denial too? I have a ton to do to get ready and I almost don't know where to start. I am feeling better though, so that is nice. At about 16, almost 17 weeks I felt a huge difference in myself and found myself thinking, "I missed me!". It is nice to play and sing songs again, I felt so awful I didn't realize I wasn't doing that stuff as much. Now that I think about how good I feel, I'm not sure how I survived the last 4 months! But, survive we did! Oh, and for those confused by the "Lily" comment of Ben's, yeah, he says we're having a girl and her name is Lily. We don't find out what we're having though. He came up with that on his own. He named Sarah too, so we'll see if he's right again. Cute kid!
October came and went, I really enjoyed it though. Leaves changing and no really super cold days. What a nice fall it has been! I'm thinking it might be a long winter if Ben & Sarah can't ride bikes and play in the dirt! Oh man, we're gearing up for some serious cabin fever fun!
Last, but certainly not least. My Grandma Coons passed away last week. I'll do a separate post after the funeral tomorrow. I do love her. I am so grateful for happy memories and for my knowledge of Eternity! What comfort they bring!
I'll try to blog more regularly so as not to have forever long posts...another one of my good intentions. :)

Hey there! Happy to hear you are feeling better and already half way through!

btw-I am pretty sure our neighbors/friends the Hoods are related to you somehow...I think they are going to the same funeral tomorrow. Sorry to hear your Grandma passed away. What would we do without the Gospel!

Glad you are feeling better. Hopefully the second half of your pregnancy will cruise by and you will have that little one in your arms before you know it!

Glad you are feeling better. I remember you being so sick with Sarah as well. Are you going to find our what this one is? Or let it be a surprise?
