I made it!

Wow! I passed clinical medicine I. I actually did it! I know I definately would not have made it without the help of Jesus (first and foremost), my wonderful husband, my family, and my friends. Thank you to all who helped me out with watching Skyler so I could study--most props go to Allen! Thank you for all the prayer and encouragement!

PA is definately hard and full of pressure, but with Jesus and lots of support of friends and family, you can do it! So thank you one and all! Thank you Jesus!

Now I get to relax and have a VERY Merry Christmas!

Fully relaxed, Erin

Busy busy busy!

So, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this blog for two reasons...



1. I'm way too busy to remember to blog. I just don't have time for it.



2. I don't think anyone really reads it anyways. It's like I'm talking to myself!

If I'm wrong, please let me know!

But...if there are any visitors out there, here a few update pics...


Merry Christmas everyone!

I apologize!

I apologize...I basically never have time to blog anymore. (or remember for that matter!) School sucks up all of my time and any spare time I have I spend it with my hubby and son. Even my housework gets put off way too long---in fact, I've been trying to catch up and have been doing laundry for 3 days! That's right, 3 days.

Well, things are good for us. We are forever busy, but we're good. Skyler is growing like a weed, he's 5 months old (will be on Monday) and he is SO much fun. He giggles, smiles, plays, and snuggles. I love him to pieces! Allen is busy coaching and teaching. Currently, we're praying for God's direction in his life--for possible new opportunities. I'm in my second year of PA school. It's intense and sometimes scary, but I love it. I'm learning so much and God has been with me every step of the way!

I posted a couple of pics of Skyler to keep you updated!

Pictures

I believe Skyler was about 7 weeks at the time these were taken. He's now 11 weeks. It goes by fast!

It really is a crazy life

This summer has flown by. It has been jammed packed with everything you can think of. June was the birth of Skyler and learning to deal with being a student, mom, and wife. July was filled with lots of time at Indian Lake...and still being a student, mom, and wife. In August, I will thankfully have a break from one of my responsibities...a student. After Aug 5, I will have a month off from school (having completed my first year of PA school). My second years begins Septemeber 8 and it will be a very hard and demanding year, but I'm excited for it because I actually get to learn more "PA" stuff rather than background information. Allen has definately been enjoying his summer and I'm sure will not be happy to start school again. He has had many game nights and lots of time playing video games (amist fatherly duties of course). August, although, will get busier for him, since soccer practices will begin shortly. Skyler is doing great! He is now 81/2 weeks old. It is crazy how fast he is growing (already!). He "talks" all the time, smiles so much (and I love it when he smiles when he sees me walk into the room), holds his head up on his own, and has the strongest kick I've ever seen a baby have. Seriously, he doesn't act like an 8 week old. I think secretly he thinks he is 12 weeks. =) Overall, we've been doing great. VERY VERY busy, but great. Maybe in August I'll post more...maybe. ;-)

Here is Skyler at 8 weeks. He is such a big boy! He definately acts older than what he is. He talks and smiles ALL the time. He is a very good baby, I definately can't complain!

A baby changes everything!

Ok..I know it has almost been a month since my last month..but things sure have been crazy around here! I'm sure all the parents out there know that! I've been quite busy with school and being a new mom...also, we were on vacation at Indian Lake Naz Camp for 10 days the first of July. We are doing great, including Skyler. Below are some more recents pics of my ever growing little man! He basically looks like a 2 1/2 month old at 6 weeks!

Better Late Than Never!

Ok, I realize that it has been over a month since I've posted. My bad! Things have been kind of crazy with school and adjusting to having a newborn. That's right...Skyler is here! Here is his story....

On May 31, I went to the hospital with contractions; however, I ended up being sent home because I didn't dilate any further than 1. June 1 when I was at my doctor (now 40 weeks), I found out that I was still only dilated to 1, Skyler was at -3, and my cervix was still pretty hard (not ready for labor at all!). They decided to do an ultrasound to check his size...well, I was in for a big shock! The ultrasound estimated that he weighed 9 lbs 12 oz and that his head was quite large. My doctors didn't think that Skyler would fit through my pelvic bone since I was having contractions and he was still pretty high. SO....I was scheduled for a C-section the next day! So Skyler was born on June 2, 2009 at 1:37pm weighing 9 lbs 11 oz. He is as cute as can be and is a very good baby! (quite content!) I'm healing pretty well as well. The first week was pretty rough, but I'm feeling almost normal now! I'm just glad I can drive now....now I'm looking forward to being able to lift things and work out!

All in all, Allen and I are doing great and having a blast getting to know Skyler. He already has a huge personality! =) Below are some pics!

Is it over yet?

Hey folks,

Well, do not fear, for have not gone into labor yet. So sad. =( I definitely feel like I've been making steps in that direction because I can feel the changes occurring in my body (dealing with Skyler that is). Every day I still think..."maybe today is the day!" I've started walking, exercising, and all kinds of stuff in hopes to encourage Skyler to come any day now...so we'll see if that helps. (or if it's all in vain!)

In other news, school is good. I'm in the second week of my summer semester (which goes til the first week of Aug). My profs are really cool about working with me and when I have Skyler, which is a huge blessing (since I'm not taking time off of school, except for maybe a week). Allen is ready for this school year to be done and I believe he only has like 3 weeks left.

Right now, I'm trying to get over either a cold or an allergic reaction. My neighbor below me is a smoker (which travels up to my apt) and I'm allergic to cigarette smoke. So...my symptoms occurred when the smoking began, so I'm not sure if I'm just sick with a virus or having an allergic reaction to the smoke. Either way, I hope I get better quickly. Some days are good, but of course, I would love to not have burning eyes, coughing up phlem, sneezing, and a congested nose!

Oh, over a month ago, Allen and I had a maternity photoshoot with a friend of ours, Sam. I wanted to share a couple of the pics with you. They are below. Sam did a really good job! So enjoy...and hopefully next time I post, Skyler will be in my arms!

Still waiting

Well, Skyler is still bundled up inside of me. As I write this, a friend of mine is giving birth to her little girl. Let me tell you that this makes me even more impatient. So I've decided to pray as hard as I can that Skyler comes next week. It would work out perfectly with my school schedule and even my personal schedule as well (even with Allen's). So here's to hoping!

We had our shower this past weekend and it went very well. There were a lot of people there and we were definitely showered in lots of love! We almost everything we needed and the "big" items we didn't receive we were able to purchase with the gift cards. God is good! (He knew we couldn't afford to buy all the stuff we needed!) So now I am busy setting up his room and getting it ready for him to join our humble home. I'm actually done for what I can do now until our glider, shelves, and crib mattress arrives. Thankfully, even if we don't have these when Skyler is born (like say if he's born next week), we have everything else ready.

On another note, my summer classes began this week. (Hence why I want Skyler born next week because I have my first test on June 3rd and I'm due June 1!!!) He'll be full term next week, so it will be perfectly safe. =)

Ok, can you tell I'm a bit obsessed. I know in my head that the likeliness that he'll come next week is low, but I'm still holding on to that slim possibility that it CAN happen. I'll try to keep this updated as often as I can!

So let's all pray Skyler is here next week!!!! (even if only for my sanity!)

FREE AT LAST! ok...maybe only temporary

I have finished another semester of PA school! Hooray! I will find out soon how sucessfully I finished another semester. I now get almost two whole glorious weeks off of studying. I almost don't know what to do with myself! Even now, I'm trying to decide what to do with my night. It's a crazy thought. ;-)

On another subject, we had a bit of a scare on Monday night. To make a long story short, I was in the hospital for four hourse with preterm labor and was eventually sent home because the labor wasn't progressing at all. So they sent me home on drugs in hopes to relax my body enough to stop the contractions. They did stop, well kind of. Now, I've moved on to the oh so fun Braxton Hicks contractions (or at least that is what I think I'm feeling now). It is not at all as intense as my contractions were on Monday, so that is why I'm guessing its the BH contractions. So basically, I've decided that Skyler better come early (like maybe in 2 weeks?) so I don't have to feel these pains (which are pretty much all day since Monday) for the next 5 1/2 weeks. I will not be a happpy mama if that happens. Unfortunately, I can not force Skyler to come out. I can only hope and pray that he isn't stubborn like his dad....or his mom. =)

So that's my story and I'm stinkin to it! I hope everyone enjoys their nice weather this weekend (or at least the Michigan-ers will have nice weather--who would have thought?)

Ta ta for now folks!

Way Back Thursday? (Wedding Edition)

A friend from college and EMD celebrate life volleyball (in the old days), Raechel, has a weekly post of "Way Back Wednesdays". This week she reviewed her wedding and asked people to do the same! So, even though its a day late...I decided to post some pics too! I have one disclaimer...I lack a scanner, so some of the photos I just took with my camera. (so I promise they look better than they appear!) Some of the photos I had scanned in the computer years ago, so some of them look ok.

Ok..on with the show!

This is my lovely little sister and I! (although most people these days think she is older than me--she doesn't like that..but I do!)

Halle, my flower girl, and I. I can't believe she is turning six this year!

This is my sweet husband who cried when he saw me coming down the isle (and we had already seen each other before, but it was still a magical moment for us!)

(Again, sorry for the picture of a picture deal) This was the moment he saw me coming down the isle. How sweet is he! I love this man so much!

....and this is me crying as well. My mom thought I was having an asthma attack, but I was just crying too hard! =)

Us during the ceremony
Between the ceremony and the reception, the wedding party stopped by a local mall that had a carousel to take pictures. This is one of my favorites! I was completely surprised by him, it made me laugh!

the girls

...and the boys

At the reception, the bridemaids, a few others, and myself learned and danced Thriller for the guests...SO fun!
The conclusion to our special day!

I apologize for my over indulgence in the pictures I displayed, but it was such an amazing day! I wanted to share as much as possible with y'all!! I hope you enjoyed it!

Now...I really must get to studying, I've procrastinated long enough. =) But this was a fun distraction!

FORE!!!

I have seen a popular posting for Wednesdays where you post old photos and what not. Now I'm SO not displined enough to do this every week and today is actually Thursday and not Wednesday...but oh well! I found this old photo of Rachel and I and I thought it would be fun to share. So take it or leave it. =)

To be honest, I'm not even sure how old we are in this photo. I would say that Rachel is probably 4-5 and I'm 7-8, approximately. I am 90% sure that this was taken at good ole' Indian Lake Campgrounds (a little shout out!). And I know this was my dad's doing. He is a big lover of golf and I'm sure did everything in his power to get us to love it. Rachel likes it more than I, so at least he succeeded with one. =) Well, now he can try to work his magic on Skyler and I'm sure Skyler will love to golf with his Grandpa (actually he'll probably enjoy golfing with both of his grandpas!).

Hope you enjoyed my little blast from the past!

Preggo Update

Here I am at 32 weeks. Just to answer anyone's curiosity (since I get these two Qs a lot)..NO, I am not having twins and YES, as far as I know my due date (of June 1) is correct. Since I carry Skyler right out in front of me, I tend to get these two questions a lot. I have definitely entered the stage of needing to be pushed to sit up and needing to hold on to something to bend down. Sleeping is a pain, literally, but it's ok. I figure when I finally get to see my little Skyler, all of this will be worth it! =)

I have been doing some projects for the decor of his room and I'm quite proud of my craftiness. Once I'm finished, I just may post some pics. =)

Well, I really should get back to studying (unfortunately). Have a great day!

April 4th

Today is April 5th. It seems strange that 6 years ago yesterday, Allen and I went on our first date. Oh how time flies. I can hardly believe we've been married almost 4 years! In honor of our "dating" anniversary, I would to share how we got together. Many know this story, but if not, sit back and relax...

Long ago in a far away land....

Allen and I officially didn't meet until the summer of 2002 after our freshman year at Olivet, however, I was told after we were dating that he has his eyes on me our whole freshmen year. =) Yet, he never talked to me...how is a girl to know a boy likes her if he never talks to her? Moving on... When we did first meet, we both had not so great attractions to each other (for allen it was more of "maybe I should reconsider this"). You see, we met at Indian Lake Campgrounds (Heaven on Earth we like to call it) because our mutual friend Brett, brought him. What turned me off was that Allen had a mullet...oh yes, a full out mullet. (not pretty ladies...let me tell you) What turned Allen off was seeing my sister and I's giggly relationship--you see he has all brothers and didn't understand this (still doesn't sometimes).

So needless to say, we became friends. Fall of our sophomore year, we would talk here and there and I did find out through a friend that he liked me. At the time, I liked someone else, so I didn't pursue him. He did pursue me. He asked me out several (Allen will say 15x) times to do group things--never one on one dates. I had a bad experience in highschool where I kind of led a guy on and I didn't want to repeat it...so I said no...everytime. So by Christmastime, he basically gave up.

Then in early spring our sophomore year, we talked and decided to be co-captains together for intramural indoor soccer. Due to this, we started to talk more and more. OH...I left out a very BIG KEY thing. When we came back from Christmas break...Allen's mullet was GONE. I thought..."mmm, much cuter". =) So anyways.... So I realized that I was starting to like him and I thought I was being pretty obvious about it (although I found out later, he had no clue until I was pretty blunt about it). Then I finally asked if he wanted to see a movie with me. Right now, I can't remember who paid..I think I might have paid for myself. After the movie (which was Bringing Down the House in case anyone is interested), we went to Denny's to talk and have hot chocolate. We ended up talking there until 3am! That moment was the moment I knew he was the one for me. I had never in the past been so comfortable with a guy where I could completely be myself (silly, stupid, and all) and not feel dumb.

From there, the rest is history.... he asked me out the very next day (the day of our very first kiss--which was so cute...he was so nervous). So even though we joke how I turned Allen down many times, I remind him that he did "get" me in the end. =)

So that is our very long, but interesting (at least I think so) story of how we started dating! Hope you enjoyed it!

Below is a pic from our wonderful wedding!

Update

Not much is new right now. Still preggo, still in school, yada yada yada. School is going good, in fact, I can hardly believe how fast this year is going! In ten weeks, Skyler will finally be here! Of which, I'm very excited about. I'm hoping he decides to come a week early, but I have feeling that he's going be to stubborn and stay inside me til the end. Maybe I can convince him. ;-)

I feel like I'm very busy with one thing or another, but yet, sometimes I feel like I get nothing done! Perhaps it is just because my list of "to dos" just keeps getting larger even though I cross things of my list.

Well, we'll be sure to keep you updated if anything major occurs. Right now, it's basically same-ole, same-ole! Hope everything is having a wonderful day!

Welcome Home, Papa, welcome home

I've been away from my blog for awhile...at first, it was because I was in LA and San Diego for week and then this past Monday, my grandfather (or papa as we grandkids called him) passed away from a very fast growing cancer. (was only diagnosed approx. 3 weeks before he died) It has been hard and I miss him very much, but he was a truly amazing man. My cousin wrote something for the funeral today and thought it would be the perfect way to describe him. (I only included part of what she wrote)

" ...but most importantly he left behind a legacy. He loved unconditionally, served others devotedly, and followed the will of God unwaveringly; all the while teaching grandkids how to bear hunt in the suburbs of Detroit, how to escape the grip of the human knot, and most importantly how to eat quickly; you know, "every time you talk you miss a bite." His testimony was inspiring, his faith uncompromising, and his love for Christ was indescribable." (by Lauren Prince)

Words do not adequately express how amazing he was. He gave all he had to everyone, dedicated much of his time to several Detroit missions, and would share his love of Jesus to anyone he came across. He even told the nurses while he was dying in the hospital. He told them, "I'm either going home (pointing to the sky) or going home to Garden City (where he lived)." Even when he was dying, all he could talk about was God's amazing faithfulness and love. My grandfather wasn't saved until he was in his late 20s-early 30s and was a drunk, in a motorcycle gang, and smoked a ton. One day, he walked into a church and his life changed forever. He told people.."If God can save a drunk like me, He can save anyone!" And how true that is. My papa was testimony that Jesus can save and not only change one man's life destiny, but the paths of his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. And all because one day he decided to sit in the back of a church to see what went on.

So Papa, I hope you're dancing on the streets of gold, singing praises, and eating a huge banana split with Jesus (my papa's favorite). We love you and I can hear you saying "that's nice". =) See you in Heaven Papa!!!

"Ranny and Papa" Papa's Bday 2008

Christmas 2008

Papa's Birthday 2008

Keep up the prayer

Well, today we find out the exactness of my grandfather's condition. It isn't looking so good since today he has been in a great amount of pain and was actually taken to the ER. He does, for certain, have a tumor in his pancreas, we're just not sure exactly what stage the cancer is. We're praying now that he may be a candidate for a very long surger called the wipple procedure. (I think I spelled it right...or is it wupple? Not sure.) Anyways...please still keep my grandfather in your prayers as well as my family. It's been hard on us all. Pancreatic cancer is a very bad cancer to have because usually by the time it is caught, there isn't much time left. So please keep us all in your prayers. I have faith that God most certainly can heal him, however, I know God may answer me with a no. I am praying that my grandfather will at the very least, be able to meet his first great-grandchild, Skyler. Thankfully, I know that my grandfather is an incredible God-fearing man whom I know will be in Heaven whether God decides to take him now or in 10 years. I pray, selfishly, that God allows him more time on Earth. Only time will tell now. I ask that you please pray for our hearts no matter what God's answer will be.

Baby registry

Today Allen and I registered for little Skyler. I must say, it was pretty fun! (for me anyways, Allen didn't quite enjoy it as I did) But as a mom-to-be, it is a bit overwhelming. There are so much you need or think you'll need. Whoah. Seriously, whoah. I still had fun though. It was fun picturing myself use all of the stuff we registered for with our little Skyler. =) For some reason, it still seems so far away til he'll be here. It's only 15 weeks away, but it feels like forever for some reason. Time has gone by fast thus far, so I'm sure these last 15 weeks will fly by.

Well, that's about all I have today, except I did want to say that I thought it was hilarious that Allen was very eager to register for the "anti-pee on mom and dad" gadgets. As soon as he saw some of them (which by the way, they cover the males genitals while you're changing his diaper...pretty fun with funny designs), he instantly wanted them. He seems to think these will guarenteed himself not getting peed on. Little does he know..... I suppose he'll learn fast enough though or perhaps he'll get lucky enough that those little gadgets will work its magic......

He's always been faithful

I am coming before you all for a specific prayer request. My grandfather (my mom's dad) has been in the hospital for about a day or so. He's having abdominal pain, as well as other complications to his type 2 diabetes, and the docs aren't quite sure what the problem is. First, we were told it's possibly cancer, then we're told it might be cysts developing from his new diabetes medicine. We still (or at least I) don't know the full diagnosis, yet, but we're praying (obviously) that it isn't cancer. I know that God has all of us in His hands and if He chooses for us to battle a family member dealing with cancer again, then we will. For the sake of our hearts and my grandfather's body, I pray that we don't have to face that again.

Many of you know that my uncle Bob passed away this past November from a long battle with brain cancer. He was one of the greatest men that I know who displayed true love and compassion every day. Just within the last couple of weeks, I found a note he wrote me when I graduatated highschool and it was so encouraging. He always knew how to lift me up. I pray that I impact my world as much as he impacted his. For all who knew Bob Kring would agree that he had a HUGE impact on so many peoples lives. I love him dearly and I look forward to the day when I get to see him again in Heaven praising Jesus.

So needless to say, this is why we're praying it's not cancer for my grandfather. God has always been faithful to me, through thick and thin, and I know He'll stick with me now.

Check out this video on youtube. It is one of my favorite songs and whomever made this presentation did a good job.

23 weeks

This is me at 23 weeks. This was actually taken in the Logan's (a steak restaurant) bathroom after church on Sunday. =) My mother is obsessed with taking a pic of me every Sunday to update my progress and this was the only place to take the pic this week. (I actually like her obsession because that's one less thing for me to think about or do) So it was kind of funny watching the faces of people coming to the bathroom while we were trying to take the pic. It took a couple of trys (or should it be tries? I've never been that great with grammer), since the lighting in public restrooms are not all that desirable. But as you can see, Skyler is a growing boy, who is very active these days!

Pharmaco what?

Then end of my day is soon approaching. Soon, I will be crawling into bed from exhaustion because I tend to get that way now once 11pm rolls around. I have been studying a lot for my upcoming pharmacology test. It's the first one for this semester and you know how those are... you never know exactly how the test is going to be...detailed or more general concepts? So in my worry and anxiety, I have been trying to learn as detailed as I can. Although, I have been study for about 2 weeks now, there is SO much information--I still feel like I need more time. Thankfully, I do. The test is not until Wednesday. Oh man, I can't wait til that test is over!

On a lighter note, I am excited because today I went to Joanns and bought wooden letters to spell out Skyler. I also bought paint (teal and chocolate brown) to make them look cool. =) Eventually that will get done...but who knows when. Also, I'm very excited because tomorrow I am going to IKEA. I love IKEA. We have one in Michigan now, but it is like 40 minutes away--so it is a special occasion when you go. So, needless to say, I'm excited to be surrounded by affordable, put it together yourself, adorable furniture. I plan to purchase a few things....hopefully I'll keep it to a few. =)

Well, that's all for now folks! Sorry it may be slightly boring. I know IKEA and pharmacology are not exciting to all, but that's my life. =) Tomorrow I get to play volleyball and I'm very excited about that too! People always get a chuckle watching me, the preggo, play vball. Yeah yeah. (on a side note, for you worriers, I am a very safe preggo player...no diving, no overly exerting myself, etc etc)

Ok, for real now...I'm leaving! Have a great night!

Ugh...

Let me just say that while I'm typing this, I'm on hold with Onstar. Although this is a great service, our budget is tight and I don't want it anymore. But oh, when I went to check our bank account today, I find out that I was automatically enrolled for another year. I am so mad! I wasn't even asked if I wanted to renew the service. Ugh. So now, here I am waiting on hold forever just waiting to demand for my money back and to end the service. It's a good thing that I check our account daily because this has happened to me before! Seriously! It wasn't with Onstar, but with other companies. I guess they figure since it isn't noticed by most people.

UGGHHH...ok here's an update. I just finally got a hold of someone and I am not kidding, 1 minute into the conversation...our call was disconnected!!!!!! SERIOUSLY! So now, I'm on hold AGAIN. I suppose God is trying to teach me patience. The good news is that in that one minute conversation, the guy said it wouldn't be a problem to get refunded. I better get refunded. haha. Hopefully, I won't have to wait on hold for 20 minutes again. (I actually do need to study...but I can't when my ear is glued to the phone!)

Ok...it's finally taken care of. And, yes, I did get my refund. The man was actually quite nice, even though he did try to sell it to me at a slightly cheaper price. Oh well, it's all done now. I am a happy woman once again. Now on to study for pharmacology test...ugh. That's not all that fun...

what a day!

Today has been quite busy. Despite my slow morning, my afternoon was very busy with cleaning, working out, finishing up laundry, studying, and what not. Then this evening, Allen and I went out for dinner with friends from church, which was pretty tasty. =) Then, Allen and I went to Lakeside mall because I had heard that The Children's Place was having a big sale. Well, when we got there, the sale wasn't all that big. However, I was very excited because we ended up getting Skyler some really REALLY cute winter coats for next winter for only $5 each. Pretty amazing. A couple of weeks ago, I was in Old Navy and that had a 50% of all their clearance and boy did I go crazy! I ended up getting like 8-10 things for Skyler (of all sizes ranging from next winter to 2 years!). Every single thing I bought at Old Navy was less than $2, YES-less than $2. Quite amazing.

So I've been slowly working on our future nursery for our little Skyler. Actually, really all I've done so far is move the bookshelf out of our spare room and into the dining room/area. Eventually, we're giving back the futon we have to our parents to make room for a crib. (sorry--folks, if you come to sleep with us...an air mattress is all we'll have!) And then my desk will be moved eventually as well into our bedroom. So things may be a little tight in our little apartment, but it will be homey. (is that a word?? or the right spelling...probably not) Perhaps in a couple of months I'll put up pics of the nursery...if it comes out like I want it too. =)


Oh..and I hope you notice that my blog has at least taken one step forward in it's creative design. I seriously do lack the knowledge in this area, but at least I'm trying!

Lacking in the design..

So I realized that my blog does not look very "spiffy" (shall I say) compared to so many out there. And I will admit...I have no idea how to make it look better. I tried. I tried looking for new layouts and formats, but the whole html blah blah stuff confuses me. I will definitely admit that web design is NOT my forte. You can ask me about pharmacokinetics or brachial plexus and I could help you out, but this...uh, no. So bear with me as I continue to try to figure out how to make this page look nice....eventually it will look better (or at least that is what I try to tell myself). =)

Our little man

Well, we now have a name! Our little man is Skyler Jonathan Hoxie. The middle name, Jonathan, is for my dad--his first little boy! =) I'm feeling pretty good, although, please pray for our little one's brain. He has a little cyst, which I've been told by doctor is nothing to worry about due to no other complications. Of course, I want our little man to be perfect, so we're still praying for God's healing. Below are pics of Skyler and preggo (at 20 weeks) me. =D

It's official

It's a boy!!! Name to come soon!
