Week 20

Week 20

By   7:21:00 PM   1 comment:

Well we are 5 days away from finding out if we are having a little boy or girl. VERY EXCITING! We are hoping for a little girl, but a healthy baby will be just fine boy or girl. I will post the results on Wednesday night unless I have your cell phone number then you will get a text message right after the ultrasound. Pregnancy is treating me pretty good. The only real problem I am having is Sciatica. With Little Man it was like 8th or 9th month I felt it. But right now I can barley walk by the end of the day and am worried about my leg giving out from under me. Other than that baby is swimming and kicking everyday. Hubby and Little Man have gotten to feel it too! Baby is about 10-10.5 inches and about 11-12 ounces now. So every day is a wonderful experience! More belly pictures to come soon too.
For the last week I have been stuck at home with bronchitis. Not fun! No voice and feeling like poop. I have been on antibiotics so we will see how this goes!

A Jesse Tree

A Jesse Tree

I know it is kind of early to be thinking of Christmas and I know you are jealous that I am done with my shopping, except for my husband, so I wanted to tell you about this great idea I found online early so you could plan ahead!
Last week a fellow blogger, Simple MOM blogged about the Jesse Tree. So I did some research and found this great site all about them, Jesse-Trees.com
So what is a Jesse Tree?
It is a way to teach our children about Christ and what a better time to show them than the Advent Season.
Each day of the Advent Season a special ornament is hung on a tree,

branch, banner, etc and a short Bible reading tells the meaning of the ornament.
You can create the ornaments or purchase them. You can reuse them year after year.
If you make one, e-mail a photo! I would love to see it!

So the question of the day seems to be "When are you due" since this belly seems to have popped out in the last week!

Well the lovely ladies at Go Belly Go were nice enough to send me the answer to this daily question.

An 18" sterling silver chain and a polished zinc charm that reads "Due in March". What a wonderful way to show off the new belly and answer the million dollar question!!

Rock The Vote

Rock The Vote

Have you voted yet? What are you waiting for?

(Well other than the polls to open?)

A great organization called Rock The Vote uses music, culture and technology to engage and persuade young people to vote. They give young people the tools to learn about the issues that will affect them and the information to make their own decision on how to vote.

"Rock the Vote’s mission is to engage and build the political power of young people in order to
achieve progressive change in our country.
Rock the Vote uses music, popular culture and new technologies to engage and incite young
people to register and vote in every election. And we give young people the tools to identify,
learn about, and take action on the issues that affect their lives, and leverage their power in the
political process.
We are creative, effective, and controlled by nobody’s agenda but our own – we tell it like it is
and pride ourselves on being a trusted source for information on politics. We empower the 45
million young people in America who want to step up, claim their voice in the political process,
and change the way politics is done.
As 2008 shapes up to be one of the most exciting election years in history, Rock the Vote will
work with the millions of young people across the country to amplify their voices in the political
process.
This year Rock the Vote will forge the largest youth voter registration drive in history,
registering 2 million young people. Together with our partners, we are charged and excited to
harness our combined power to make our voices heard. 2008 is clearly the year of the youth vote and Rock the Vote will be there every step of the way.
Our goals for 2008:
 Register, educate, and turnout young voters at record levels to increase voter registration.
 Educate young people and the political community on the power of young people, and
give both communities the tools to take action.
 Fight for the rights of young people in the voting process and for the issues that affect
their lives.
 Lay the foundation for a sustainable organization that can continue to leverage the power
of young people for long-term political and social change." (from rockthevote.com)
