February 23, 2009

It's already almost March 2009, and I have to apologize for not updating our blog for a few months!!!

We hope you, your families and friends and lives are going well and you're blessed! We are definitely feeling blessed these days with so much new stuff going on.

Our year is going well so far, with much excitement about the upcoming new addition to the household! Baby Brown (sex still unknown) is doing wonderfully and is moving around a lot these days and can even occasionally be felt throwing those vigorous kicks and punches by others. :) Noah is especially excited about that. I think it seems more real to him these days.

We wanted to thank everyone for their continued prayers for us and baby, and for all of the wonderful gifts and loans of equipment and bedding and books!!! We feel so blessed and thankful!

Baby Brown is just under a pound now, and around 10-11" long from head to toe, and recently I experienced hiccups from the inside for the first time! haha So a bunch of neat things happening lately. It's been fun! Prenatal yoga is helping with the usual pregnancy aches and pains and helping me relax (which is always a plus!).

Here are some ultrasound pictures from our 20-week appointment (yes, we are already 5 months!!!). If the picture won't work, click on the link.

Noah is an excited daddy-to-be. When my parents came down to visit, he spent some time with my mom painting the nursery and we were really excited when they surprised us with the crib! So that was our Sunday afternoon project - setting up the beautiful new crib and enjoying the moment.

Noah is actually in New York right now - on Long Island. He has been there since last Monday, and we just learned that he will be out there for a total of 3 weeks for work. I am trying to see if I can fly out to visit him this weekend, but due to a bunch of church stuff, he may just be flying home for the weekend. Either way, it will be nice to see him again!

Noah's classes are going pretty well. He is taking a Collaborative Engineering class (which is basically a goofy pointless psych class) and another design class which isn't too bad. He is aiming to take another class this summer, and one more in fall. If that happens, he will have his Master's Degree in Aerospace by the end of the year!!!

Other than all that, we are doing well, just waiting for Spring. The weather here is iffy - always up and down. It is supposed to be cold for the next few days (30's) and then get warm Wednesday and Thursday into the mid- to upper-50's, then plunge back into winter again. We haven't had too much snow this winter - just rain once a week or so.

We are looking forward to seeing family soon and again, hope you're all doing well!

Love,
Noah & Krista
