The new blog

While I'm not completely done with the redesign, I figured it was time to start posting again since it's only a matter of time until Jackson Elijah makes his debut.

Let me get you caught up. On February 19, Amy came home from a business trip. We had just moved into our new house (literally, Amy had not seen the house since we had owned it yet). She was not feeling well during the entire trip. Come to find out, there was a reason for that. She was pregnant. We were, of course, ecstatic. That evening we went to a Third Day concert still not really grasping the news we had just gotten.

We've been very blessed throughout Amy's pregnancy. She had a nasty flu for the first month or so, but since then she's had a really great pregnancy. We've been very blessed by our friends and family. We had fun (Caseville, Holland, New Orleans), and really spent the last nine months in awe of the amazing responsibility coming our way.

We took time to pick a name, picked a theme for the nursery (see pic below), had baby showers, and started to love our son.

Now we're less than two weeks from the due date, Amy's got a cold (send her your prayers) but she's hanging in there. Jack's moving a ton. Not a moment goes by, it seems, when he isn't sticking something out or rolling around in her belly.

So as the day gets closer, come back here for updates. And once he's here, I'll be posting pics and stories here. If you want emails when I update, let me know and I'll put you on a list.

Until then, keep praying for Amy to get better and to get her rest as the day approaches, and for me that I can support her as well as I possibly can when the day comes.
