A lot has happened the past few days!

I didn’t have a chance to tell you that on Saturday while everyone was partying for my birthday, we found a puppy! This group of guys just dropped her off and told us to take her because they didn’t want her. I don’t know why! At first we thought she was a he so we named her Van.. after we found out she was a girl we still decided to call her Van! Ha ha! So I got a puppy for my birthday. =] She’s great!






On Sunday I got to play the Easter bunny for our church’s fundraiser. What an experience! That’s all I can say. Sometimes it was fun while other times were miserable because I made kids cry.

Ok.. and our last news for the night.. Paul and I are having a baby. =] If I didn’t call you personally.. don’t take it personal. It’s been a crazy day! But yeah! He/she is due December 4th. The changes to your growing embryo are not quite as drastic this week as they've been in the last few weeks. Growth is now largely focused on their little head, which is starting to develop much more rapidly than the rest of their tiny body. This is because their amazing brain is undergoing some very crucial and rapid development in order to effectively regulate their heart rate, blood circulation, and other vital functions. As for the rest of their miniature body, what were simple limb buds last week are limb flippers this week and the tail is more expressed. Amazingly, within a mere five weeks your little miracle is already developing the rudimentary forms of their liver, pancreas, lungs, stomach and nasal pits while their little heart is already increasing its circulation. Your baby is now a whopping 4-6mm in length.
