JON AND I ARE RACING!

OUR NEW HOME IN SALEM, VA



Well I've been asked to post another blog, since im not so speedy with it! Jon and I are staying very busy in Virginia with youth ministry and settleing in. Time is flying by and its hard to believe we will be having a little boy in a couple months. We are trying to get ready, but still need to paint his room, get furniture, ect.. We were attempting to register the other day and as we look like deer caught in headlights, Jon turns to me and says "We dont have a clue what we are doing!" Ha..this is true. I guess part of the fun of being a new parent is figuring things out! Im sure down the road we will laugh at ourselves and this time in life.
My sister Beth has been visiting for the last week. She is planning on moving up here for a change of pace and so she can be the favorate aunt. Her and my mom are already conspiring on how to spoil Levi. Beth interviewed at a hospital here called Memorial and is leaning toward being a labor delivery nurse. She could end up being my nurse! Although I told her that she may not want to do that, since I would feel the freedom to scream at her while in pain!
Some other big news is that my brother and his wife are expecting! I think something is in the water. So that makes 4 babies coming from the Laughinghouse and English Families!
Ive been feeling good for the most part. ALthough the baby likes to kick and do summersaults in my stomach, particularly when i go to bed! Between being hot and being kicked, i have become a night owl! I feel bad because I try to get Jon to move as far away from me at night because im so hot! Then i ask him "is it hot in here to you, did you turn the air off?" I guess i should know hes not hot, bundled up in the blankets. So i try to take a nap during the day if possible! We have another ultrasound at the end of September, so when we get those pictures we will post them! Youth ministry is going great, Jon is doing a great job and loving it. I think sometimes that im going to have 2 kids to take care of =). But he keeps me on my toes. Well we love you all and i will try to post more soon!
Jon and Kristi
