28 weeks

this has been a great week! God has just done so much for us! we were still so filled from our trip to prosser, and then friday my aunt ruth called and said she and my cousins jacob foote and his family wanted to come stay the weekend with us! i was so excited! first of all, being home sick 24-7 makes any kind of family seem like the greatest thing in the world! and second, there is no better motivation to get your house clean than company on their way! the house wasnt a mess or anything, but just had alot of little things to clean and get done! we had the most wonderful time with them here! they got in saturday about 3, and we had just enough time to run our errands and get just about everything done! of course i thought we had time to go around the whole house and paint the little scrapes and scuffs on the walls we had been wanting to fix for some time. and that led to fixing some big things and so on and so on. so we had a couple little places that didnt get touched up all the way! but we were so happy to have our family! we visited, had dinner and visted some more! we went to church at nampa on sunday! we had a great meeting! i was hoping to hear jacob talk, i have always liked his preaching! its the kind that steps on my toes, and i need that! i wish we heard more of that! jacob's wife jai started a song i hadnt heard in a while either that really touched me! called treasures unseen! here are the lyrics:
MY HOME MAY NOT LOOK LIKE A CASTLE
AND MY CLOTHES MAY BE LACKING IN STYLE.
AND IF YOU COME SIT AT MY TABLE
A MEAGER SUPPLY YOU MIGHT FIND.

CHORUS

BUT OH ITS NOT WHAT YOU SEE
THAT MAKES ME A KING, MAKES ME A KING.
FOR TO ME I'VE EVERYTHING, ALL THAT I NEED
ALL THAT I NEED, I'VE TREASURES UNSEEN.

NOW GOD MADE A WORLD FILLED WITH BEAUTY
OF THINGS WE ENJOY EVERY DAY.
MY SECRET TO HIDDEN POSSESSIONS
IS TO LOVE HIM AND SERVE HIM EACH DAY.

the chorus was really sweet to me! there are so many songs that i miss, but every church has different favorites. so anyway, after church, we came home and ate and hung out! we had travis, amy, and kris over! we all had a great visit! it went really good! and garret and jacob stayed up later and still visited! makes me really happy to have family and brothern in our home! so they left after breakfast this morning before 10! and i was sad to see them go, but i like to think about all the great things and really meditate on all the good! so im getting back to my email, blogging, facebooking, and what not. then i will clean house...again! it never ends! but there is so much joy knowing its what God wants us to do. hope you all have a good week! and as a side note! ...... i am pretty sure i have been feelin the baby's hiccoughs! so thats a new fun feeling! less than 3 months...wow! so excited <3




How your baby's growing at 28 weeks:
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
