yet another update...

So while my sister was down she took a few pictures of her nephew. Here are 3 of the favorites, and the bottom two pictures are my ever-growing tummy!








I went for a doctors appointment last tuesday, and he says at this point everything is looking perfect. He said im growing right on track, and baby is in the right position for the birth. He said its unlikely that he'll flip now, which for me is a huge relief, because i really dont want a c-section! Im now seeing the doctor every 2 weeks until im 36 weeks adn then i will go every week. I cant beleive im acuatlly going to be holding my baby in 9 weeks! its so exciting to think about.
Julian and I have been looking for a new apartment for quite some time, and though we've been put on a waiting list for a place in durham, its not looking too promising . I called around a bit today and have lined us up to go look at 2 different places, one in hanover, one in durham so now i just have to wiat to hear back from the people. im really praying we find a place before the baby comes. Our monthly rent will be increasing in the next few weeks as well, so a new place would be a huge answer to prayer!
Other than that, we're doing well, julian loves his job at Bell world and is constantly coming home telling me about the newest in technology! lol. Its good to see him happy with a job though. its an encouragement to me for sure! Anyways, just thought i'd give a little update. my parents and brothers head down to Maine tomorrow for a week at my uncles cottage! so pray for their safety as they drive...and their sanity...driving 14 hours with my brothers is tough!

what a story!

Over the past few months, my grandpa brockwells' sisters' husband (got that?) has been in the hospital and not doing very well at all. My grandpa has been visiting him very often and sharing the gospel with him, but uncle don didnt seem at all interested.
The doctors have been saying he will likely die any day, so as you can imagine, its been really hard on aunt barb and my grandparents too. Aunt barb had basically given up hope of uncle don giving his life over to the lord before he died, just because he kept refusing what he was hearing. Well, my grandma wrote me an email this morning and told me that aunt barb called my grandpa and asked him to come to the hospital because uncle don was not doing very well. My grampa went and asked if he could go in and see uncle don, and they said yes. Well, uncle don told my grandpa that he had given his life over to the lord!! its such a huge encouragement to see miracles like that happen. all that praying paid off! and just in time. Uncle Don is very sick and no one really expects him to live much longer at all, but its just such a blessing knowing he'll be in Heaven for eternity! please pray for my grandparents, and uncle dons wife, as it will be hard when he fianlly passes, althoguh not nearly as hard now, knowing they will see him again!
