I know I just posted, but I wanted to share this song with you guys. It is everything I hope Gabriel will learn. It is exactly what I would say to him, and I am sure many of you, and I know that it is appropriate since we're not all together! Check it out--just click the link!
What I would Say

Week 30 Visit
I'm in my 30th week of pregnancy. Gabriel will be arriving soon, and honestly, I can't wait to meet this little man that I already love so much.
First and foremost, the doctor said that Gabriel looks to be a very healthy young man! Woohoo! Our prayers have been answered, but continue to pray for him, and then never stop! :) The doctor said that he is about 3lbs right now, so if he continues on this track, he will weigh about 7.5 lbs. Amazing what they can do, right?
I was super excited because we were going to do some 3D imaging of his face, and I thought I'd have all these cute photos to post, but he is bashful. He had his hands covering his face the entire time. The doctor even used a little machine that vibrated my belly to to try to get him to move, and after about 15 minutes of trying, Dr. Vaughn gave up. We could get him to move, but he still wouldn't move his hands from his face, haha. My friend told me that he was shy because he knew people were taking his picture, and he remembered that he was naked, haha. I thought that was funny. He's certainly not shy about his boyhood. We have another " 'boy' with arrow" shot of him.
I might try to get the pics up, but I am having difficulties with the CD they are on. I can view them, but I'm having problems uploading. I don't know how much I am going to fuss with it because honestly, if someone isn't there pointing out what is what, you'll never know.
Anyway, we did see that the man has at least a little hair. The doctor said it could be super fine; you can't tell, but hey, I was born bald, so any hair is good! :)
I started both of my jobs, and they are going well. I work 10 hours at PJC, and I am in charge of the whole online writing center at Texas A&M University-Commerce. Some weeks I will probably have 40 hours of work there, and other weeks only 5 or 10. It just depends on how many submissions there are. I can't go over 19 hours a week, though, so on the weeks that I have a lot of work, I will just have to spread the hours of the weeks I don't have as much work, as far as time cards go, but I have 24-48 hours to respond to each submission, and some days we get 15-20 submissions, so I'll be a busy girl. I also have all the responsibilities of the house to take care of on my own, and I'm a bit of a neat freak, so that keeps me busy.
Sean is still really liking his temp position that might turn into a full-time position. I'm glad he's happy at work and loves his job. That's the whole reason we moved here, so I'm glad it makes him happy.
We start lamaze classes with a church friend tonight. I am very excited. She will come over every Thursday night for 4 weeks. We also have a childbirthing class at the hospital on March 6th. I've been reading more and more about labor, and I am officially FREAKED OUT! I'm also freaked out to breastfeed, but I'm going to give it a go.
Well, I've had two beautiful showers: one at work, and one my mom threw with my side of the fam, and I have the final one coming up at the end of February with my church. I'm super excited for that!
I have a busy day ahead of me, so I better run, but here are pics of the belly! Love you guys!

Hello, all!
I'm closing out my 28th week and starting my 29th. I get to see Gabriel next Wednesday, which I am super excited about. I've been feeling him move around a lot, lately. He's mostly active at night.
Exciting things are happening. Sean is filling in for an asset leader at work. I got a job tutoring at Paris Junior college for 10 hours a week, but what is most exciting is that I know have my foot in the door there! They seem really impressed with my work, so I'm very thankful for that. I am also getting possibly up to 19 hours working at the Texas A&M University-Commerce writing center online. I will find more out about that soon. The good news is, I can do that work from home! I'll get to work and be a stay-at-home mommy! I'm hoping I get the full 19 hours, but we will see! We are also praying that I will be able to work a night at PJC so Sean can watch Gabriel and I don't have to find a sitter!
I had the best time ever in Michigan. My mom got to take off every day with me, except one, and when she had to work, I went in and helped her. It was amazing spending two weeks with my best friend! I also got to spend lots of time with my daddy, which is also just as fun and amazing. He even drove me back to Texas so I wouldn't have to deal with the crazy airlines again, and so I could get all my wonderful gifts home. For those of you who don't know, my flights got cancelled to MI. I was in the airport for like 14 hours, and finally I ended up having to spend the night in Minnesota. Thanks to my wonderful brother picking me up in Grand Rapids, I made it to my shower only 20 minutes late. Speaking of the shower, my mom threw me the most beautiful shower ever. She had so much yummy food: Panini sandwiches, meat and cheese tray, veggie tray, a cool watermelon fruit bowl, lots of chips, crackers, and cheese spread, an adorable Winnie-the-Pooh cake, cookies, etc. The list goes on! Emma's mom made a wonderful artichoke dip and apple salad as well. It was all too good. We had a great turn out, played a fun game, and I am so thankful for all of the wonderful presents we got! I am so thankful to my family for hosting the party. I know my mom put a lot of time, money, and energy into making it perfect!
While I was in Michigan, I also got to see all my best friends. I miss them so much, so this meant the world to me.
I'll post pics from the doctor next week if he gives us another C.D. If not, I'll mail them to you if you want. Just let me know!
Love you all so much!
