no, we don't know what the gender is yet, but i did go to the doctor today and i got to hear the heartbeat. it was 150 this time. according to jennifer's advice, that is a more "boy-ish" heartbeat than last month's checkup when it was 172. it also took the nurse a LONG time to be satisfied with what she was hearing. i could hear the heartbeat perfectly fine, but she kept moving the little monitor around on my belly like she was trying to detect something different. finally after about 3-4 minutes of her searching (all the while i could hear the heartbeat loud & clear), she finally said it was 150. i don't know what that means, maybe there's more than one baby in there??? anyway, next month when i go, i will get an ultrasound, and the mystery will be solved, hopefully.
speaking of jennifer, congratulations to her and her precious family of boys who just welcomed baby KATE, their little princess! she is beautiful and we can't wait to go meet her in a few weeks!
after some time in prayer today, i am planning to make some calls tomorrow to arrange my schedule to teach in the later mornings. i have agonized over this decision probably much more than was necessary, but i feel like it's a really big deal. anyway, since my post a couple weeks ago, i have gotten some good advice and prayed alot, and i feel like i really wouldn't feel happy without my mornings with the girls. Lord willing, the scheduling will work out and also a spot in a different Mother's Day Out program will open up for the girls.
here's the verses i've been reading lately:
"Trust in the Lord and do good. Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He will bring it to pass." Psalm 37:3-5
we're currently in a position that is requiring us to "feed on His faithfulness" because we really are unable to feed on our own abilities. not only does God want me to "dwell (be content) in the land," but He also wants me to be delighted with Him in the midst of it. i must admit this is not very true of me right now, but it's my prayer for myself.
