Here are some pics and an update from this past month.  Things have been extremely busy with Israel being in and out and trying to get things in order before the baby comes.  In less than 6 days, we’ll get to see the little one…who apparently isn’t quite so little.  The doc is predicting that this kid is at least 8.5 lbs! 

Oct. 4 – Israel took all of us to Green Bay for my b-day.  We stayed in a nice resort for the night and enjoyed some fun and crazy activities.  And that’s all I’m going to say about that.  😉

No comment about the pic.

However, I will take this opportunity to tell a funny story about Bentley.  A couple months ago, I was sitting on the couch and Bentley came over and sat on my lap.  He was leaning on my tummy when all of a sudden the baby kicked really hard and abruptly.  Bentley jumped up and looked at my belly wondering what just hit him.  It was funny. 

This pic was taken on Nov. 3 and it was snowing.  I think it was like the 2nd snow fall of the season. 

My parents came the last week of Oct/first week of Nov.  It was so nice to have them here!  Imanuel was so sad when they had to leave.  Even now, he’ll talk about how “Hal-muh-nee” and “Hal-buh-gee” are “gone” and how they went “bye bye”.  Then he’ll want to call them…

These last pics are of me and my boys.  They were taken tonight. 

Imanuel loves kissing his baby brother…

…and hugging him.

Not sure if I’ll post again until I have the baby, but here are some future posts that I’d like to put up eventually:
– top memories from this pregnancy (special tributes)
– best surprise baby shower (waiting for the pics)
– and obviously the baby’s arrival 

If you can remember, please keep us in prayer particularly on  Monday, Nov. 19.  Surgery is scheduled at 7am.  We can’t wait!
