a weekend of firsts!

Jimmy and I had a pretty fun weekend! First off, the college girls were super sweet and threw me and Jadeyn a baby shower. We played a number of different games, opened gifts, ate lots of yummy chocolate and had cake. Jimmy and I both feel so fortunate to be able to work with the group of kids we do. They are tons of fun, love Jesus with everything that is in them and have a huge passion to see the lost come to the Lord. Here's some pics of the shower last Friday. Some of the games consisted of smelling a "poopy" diaper that had different types of melted chocolate bars in them, smelling 4 different baby food jars and finally, tearing off toilet paper and trying to get it the length of my belly size. It was a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Our next "first" of the weekend was our childbirth class! We opted for the marathon, so we knocked out a 3 week class in one long Saturday. It's nice to have it over and done with, and although it was fairly boring...it was good information to have. Now I feel even stronger about getting an epidural because that video we saw of the birth did not look fun! We watched the delivery right before lunch - not sure if I would have rather seen it before or after lunch. Either way was not good. We learned a lot of the "hee, hee, hoo" breathing techniques and Jimmy got in lots of practice on giving good back massages. He can't complain too much - our teacher loved him and actually gave ONLY HIM a back massage to demonstrate! hmmm. It made for a long day, but then we celebrated by going to lobsterfest at Red Lobster which was a treat.

Be praying for Jimmy. He leaves next week to lead a trip to Galveston to do hurricane relief from last summer/fall.
