Updates & Congratulations

Since our last post, Sara has been doing so much better. She is actually eating now and starting to gain some of that weight that you are actually supposed to be gaining during pregnancy. At her last appointment, Dr. Wickert just kept telling her to eat whatever she could! She is 15 weeks along now, and we are so looking forward to our next doctor's appointment in September when we will have another ultrasound. Hopefully, we will be able to find out if Baby Shoop is a boy or a girl! We know the grandmothers are anxious to be out buying more clothes than we will ever know what to do with!
Other than taking care of Sara and Baby Shoop, we have also started our usual fall schedules. Wesley had a very busy week at work the week before Purdue's classes started this fall. That same week, we also started FCI (Faith Community Institue) classes at church. Wesley is once again teaching "Overview of the Bible," and he has close to 50 people attending each week! Sara is taking a class on parenting so that we will at least know something about what to do when Baby Shoop arrives! Orchestra rehearsals and performances at church are also starting up again for Wesley in September. The rest of our week consists of relaxing in the evenings or getting the nursery ready for February.
We also want to say that Congratulations are in order for two of our best couple friends! Our friends Brent & Mary are expecting, due January 11th, although Sara wants that little one to wait and come on her birthday, January 12th! They are having a boy, and Brent has already said if we have a girl that it will be an arranged marriage! Our other friends, James & Kristal, are also expecting, due March 2nd. So, with our close friends, it has just been a baby boom! Troy & Sherry, are you ready yet for another one? (Just kidding!)
We will post as soon as we can when we find out about Baby Shoop's gender!
Hope everyone is doing well.
