14 Week Update

So, a lot has happened in the last few weeks! I need to be more regular and diligent about this…

We went to the doctor on Tuesday, July 15^th (14 weeks - DUE DATE IS JANUARY 13TH) and we had the blessing of hearing a strong heartbeat!!! Our doctor said that everything seemed to be going along fine and that we will have a sonogram at 18 weeks, hopefully determining the sex of the baby at that time as well.

Emily is feeling ok. She gets tired very quickly but otherwise feels fine. Her belly is growing every day (as you can see from the pictures!) and we are continuing to get more and more excited for about six months from now! This week starts her second trimester.

We also got to experience Emily’s sister giving birth to a beautiful baby girl, Makenna Hope Landers, a few weeks ago! The families are growing!

God is good. In order to cut costs and move closer to the seminary and our church we put our house on the market three weeks ago. Well, we had seven people look at it over the course of that time and two offers, one of which we have accepted! Our closing date is August 15^th.

John is also looking for a full-time position most likely as a Mechanical Engineer somewhere. Please pray for that search and for wisdom to make decisions. Also, keep praying for strength and health for Emily and the baby.

We love you all and thank you for your support!!!
