We had our 24 week doctor visit last Friday!
Baby Brian has a very strong heartbeat and Mommy is measuring "perfect" for being 24 weeks along - according to the doctor! We are so thankful that all the lower back pain and leg pain has gone away and Mommy is only slightly uncomfortable in the evenings sometimes after a long day a work!
Mommy will have another ultrasound on November 17th to make sure the placenta has moved away from her cervix and everything else is looking good! Oh Darn, another time to see the baby!!! :)

In ALL your ways...
Acknowledge Him (God) and He will direct your path.
Kristin's meeting at Building Together went surprisingly well yesterday! The board of directors had asked the executive director to meet with the staff and talk through what they thought God was leading them to do in regards to their ministry. We know God is working daily through BTM to reach children and families and bless their lives for His glory. None of us feel that God is leading us to move from this place at this time - which was very encouraging considering that half of the staff we had in August has resigned since then.
BTM staff (all four of us!) deeply desire to continue serving and loving the families that God brings us daily. We continue to pray that God will be glorified and our Board of Directors and Community will continue to support all that He is doing through BTM.
Even though BTM is still struggling financially and we know it may be a while before all that is straightened out, we walk by faith that God will continue to provide.
"Do not throw away your confidence, which has great reward! For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the Will of God, you may receive what was promised!" Hebrews 10:35-36

And we walk by Faith...
We continue to trust God for our every need - even when we can't see the way out!
Chris received an email today that Newcomb & Co. is holding off on hiring right now because of the economy. They wanted Chris to know that he is on the top of their list, but it may be another week or so before they make a decision on when they'll hire for the warranty position and be ready to schedule an interview. The news was disappointing, but we choose to trust that God's timing is always PERFECT.
I did receive part of my paycheck from last Tuesday today, but we're not sure when I'll get the rest of it - maybe by Friday is what we were told. The staff at Building Together has a huge mtg tomorrow starting at 9:00am - ALL PRAYERS WELCOMED!!!
Thanks to everyone who has been praying, encouraging, and supporting us through this time! Our "Thank You" just doesn't seem sufficient, but THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

On the Move
Mommy has started feeling Baby Brian moving around! She started feeling him at 21 weeks and he is quite active! I've noticed that he is especially active in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down, but I don't really mind it much right now as it is such a joy to feel him move!
That little flutter is only going to get stronger, I know!!

Relief for Mommy
Physical Therapy is working!!!
Mommy has been going to PT twice a week and it is tremendously helping the pain in her leg and lower back. The therapist is doing a great job getting the muscles to relax and stretch out and the pain continues to decrease daily! Mommy is basically getting a great massage twice a week!
Thankfully she has been able to return to work and is sleeping better at night! We will continue to pray that the pain continues to diminish and soon it will ALL be gone!

Update on Daddy
Thank you all for your many prayers for Chris.
Unfortunately, his interview with Newcomb was canceled at the last minute on Tuesday due to an emergency the Vice President had to take care of! And even though it was disappointing, Chris was told he was one of their top priorities and they would contact him hopefully by the end of the week to reschedule for next week.
We continue to trust God for His guidance and direction and know that His plan for our lives is greater than anything we could achieve by ourselves.
We'll keep you updated!
