Swim, swim

Emily had her first swimming lesson yesterday (you might remember that we tried this last summer but both lessons consisted of 30 mins of screaming for mommy). This time was a different story, thank you Lord. She did cry, for about 3-5 mins, but warmed up to her instructor, Mr. Jay, right away.


She kicked on her tummy and her back...More kicking...

She jumped off the side to him...

She also blew tons of bubbles and voluntarily put her face in a few times. He was very excited with all the things she already does. I was completely relieved that she had a good time! She enjoyed a Chik-fil-a ice cream for all her hard work. We go back Thursday for lesson #2.

Baby News: My group strep B was negative! This is such an answer to prayer. I was 1.5cm yesterday. This baby seems real settled in there and may gestate a bit longer than his sister did. I am feeling great, and not in a huge hurry for him to arrive.

We do have one prayer request, Troy (beginning next week), is out of town, many times. So if you could just pray that he would be "in-town" when little guy decides to arrive. Troy's employers are being very accommodating, willing to take him off of trips, etc., but we just feel that he should stay on them due to the amount of effort that would have to be placed into changing him from certain trips. I believe that Emily's birthday was so perfect in every way (if you have never heard her story, ask one day), and that He will not do any less for this son of mine.
