The awaited update!

OK so an update on me and baby. Everything is going well, I made it through the glucose test....You know thats stuff isnt nearly as bad as everyone made it seem. The results of that were fine. Baby is growing fine. Doctor says im normal sized for how far along I am, well that was at last months check up he said that....I am 31 weeks now and like last week I just started getting stretch marks...I made it so far without getting any, and then they hit me. He is now starting to be alot more active, before it would just be kicks here and there, but he kicks and rolls now, and likes my ribs....I cant to sit to long or my side will start hurting, so like half way through church Im miserable and in pain. We are slowly getting things ready, but still have so much to do. Em was the first to say something about a baby shower, so she is doing that, and starting to get things ready for that. Sis. Burling is going to rent out a place down by the library for us to have it at..We still got to get a date figured out for it. Im in the process of gathering up names and address of people to come so she can send out the invitations once we get things figured out. A couple weekends ago, I went and stayed with some friends in Pekin, and they had a surprise shower for me. It was pretty cool. My friends Kayla asked me if I wanted to go to walmart with her for a few things, and I had some money on me, so I bought a few things for the baby, but she spent $60 on him. She got me a diaper bag, which I was in need of, a few outfits, some booties and a few other little things like that. But while I was gone, clueless of what was going on, the others, Jessica, Stephanie, Shay, Katrina, Betty, Jerry, Marcia, and Melinda, were back at Betty and Jerrys house decorating and getting things ready. I was totally surprised. Betty and Jerry is where we all use to hang out and stuff when I still lived in Pekin, and Marcia and Melinda are some friends of theirs. But from Betty and Jerry I got a $50 gift card to walmart, marcia and Melinda got me a $20 gift card to walmart, Stephanie and Jessica pitched in together got me some socks, and a couple pair of pjs and then a little basket with baby wash and lotion and then has a small thing of diapers and wipes. Shay got a few outfits, a towel, some little socks/booties, hat, and all had something to do with sports, go figure. lol. With the Betty took me to walmart the next day, to use the giftcards. I got the bed set with the bumber and all, the theme is fire engines, trucks and cars, its really cute. And Im going to use the drop in bottles, so they had a set of those that I got, and that was all I could get, but Betty bought the mobile that matched the bed set, the sheets and a blanket that matched. Im pretty excited about getting started on the room, and seeing how it all looks once put together.
Its been kinda nice though, I have had alot of people give me like the big more expensive things. I got a crib and a car seat from my cousin Brett, I have the little portable swing, and a bath tub from him also. April gave me Lilys old car seat, its navy blue, and then someone else if going to give me a car seat....People have just been such a help, Im so thankful for that, because I know we wouldnt of been able to get alot of the stuff like that on our own...I do need to get a crib mattress though. I have been slowly working on my gift registry at wal mart. I got a thing in the mail that gives you a general idea of the things you need for baby, and what you should register for, that has been so helpful and you check out what you already have.
Well, i think that all the update I have for now...But hey, I think that there is a pretty nice update, its not real short or anything....Im proud of myself. :)

update

Just a quick update on Melissa and Chris. Melissas back has been hurting her, and Chris hasnt gone back to work yet since the accident. They were able to get a new van though. Not sure exactly what kind, but its a 1997 mini van. Its got the both sliding doors in the back. Its really nice. I like it alot. Its got enough room for all the kids and then one extra person. But yeah, thats just a quick update on them.

Prayer request

Ok so this is a short one, just a small prayer request for Chris and Melissa.

On the first, Melissa was driving the van, and down by the old high school, a car ran through a red light and hit Melissa at 30 MPH and totaled the van. The kids were not in the car. Chris ended up going to the hospital because of his neck and back, I guess he has whip lash. Melissa is fine as they can tell. They were the only ones in the car. So they got the 4 kids, and no vehicle. Chris now has to figure out away to get back and forth to work now. So they just need some prayer for any pain they are in and for a new vehicle to get them to the places they need to be and stuff.
