Justin, or Jesus? Hmmm...

I've been picture tagged by our friend Cami (who is anxiously awaiting the arrival of their new addition, Mr. Nathan Ross)! Here are the rules:

1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer.
2) Select the 4th picture in the folder.
3) Explain the picture.
4) Tag 4 people to do the same.

No cheating (cropping, editing, etc.) Have fun!!!

So, I dug in to the recesses of my picture files and found this. I'm not sure how my computer organizes files that something from 2007 is the fourth pic, but that's ok! So, what do you think, is it Justin...or JESUS?!?



Really, it's Justin! I can't remember what this was for, but I remember that it was for an application of some sort. He still uses it even though he looks quite different now! And, at times I miss the long hair, but I love his new do!

So, now I tag Ashley Patterson, Allison Woodall, Carissa Vann and Hope Kidd! Have fun and remember, no cheating!

Diabetes Free!

It's 2009, which means this is the year Justin and I officially become parents! I went to the doctor last Friday to get tested for gestational diabetes. I'm proud to say that I'm diabetes free but that I'm anemic. I'm going to take iron every day, but other than that things are great! Noah is growing and doing really well and he's moving a LOT! :)
I have another doctor appointment in three more weeks. After that appointment I start going every two weeks. In five weeks I have my last ultrasound to see how big Noah is and to make sure that April 13 is still an appropriate date. We're touring the hospital that I'll deliver in on Sunday, and I'm really excited about that.
On another note, our house is for sale! We have a sign outside with an "I'm gorgeous inside" banner! It's been fun to do the little bit of updating that we've done and to see the house look so good. Again, I'll update more when we know something. Seems like there are a lot of things up in the air right now, but they're all such good things!
Next weekend we're going to Abilene to visit with some of the doctors that Justin will be working with and go house hunting. It will be fun to get to see where we might be living in six months and start to build some relationships with people who we'll hopefully be great friends with. Most of all, I'm excited to see where we could plant roots down for the rest of our lives. I hope you all have had a great start to the new year and that this post finds you all healthy, happy and home from travels with loved ones and another Christmas season! Look for more updates in the weeks to come!
