60 days to 6 months....

Well, we got word the other day that John will be in Haiti for the next 6 months...ugh.  He should be able to come home a week before the baby is due and stay for 10 days. I am praying that he would be allowed to just stay after the baby is born because it will be so close to when they are coming home. It is a possibility, but not sure how likely it will be.  I took the news pretty well and then it all sank in yesterday. We have been stuck in the house all weekend with the snow/ice storm and it seemed like the girls were fighting, whining and crying all day long. I have been more tired lately...it was a LONG day. I am trying to just take one day at a time and not think about how far away July is. Their are positive's in this...He is safe where he is, Afghanistan will be pushed back so he should be here for the girls birthdays, Christmas, and a good portion of the babies first year. I am thankful for those things. I know God is in control and his hand is in this. We have neighbors that just moved in next door that I know would help me in any emergency. I have been praying for a great family to move into our duplex. God has provided in that way and it has eased John's mind knowing that they are there.

Here are some pictures of the girls lately....

Thanks for your prayers! I am feeling great as far as pregnancy goes. I am 24 weeks so I can still move and bend to a certain degree :) I have my moments where I am not so calm, where I feel really frustrated, but overall I am doing really well.
