5 weeks left!
Yes,we are nearing the end of the worst pregnancy ever. Would you believe I'm still puking! I have no idea how I've gained any weight but doc says I'm super healthy.
So, I've missed my blog! That stupid Facebook. Sometimes it's cool, but sometimes it's so stupid! Quizzes are funny....catching up, making conversation, etc., is cool. Receiving a "smile" and a "flower" ???? huh? That's one of the cheesiest things ever. Facebook "smiles and flowers and stars" are like when e-mail first came about and people forwarded those messages that said if they didn't forward it they would wind up dead in an alley or monkey would fly through windshield.
Oh wait...
People still do that huh?
Losers!

Almost....there......
6 weeks to go 'til baby girl gets here! And in that 6 weeks I have 2 baby showers, 3 birthdays, school starts, Wednesday night fellowship starts, YoungLives Club, Luncheons at Southeast, Riv's dance class starts, and hopefully I will remember 2 anniversaries...which I probably won't. so...Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad, Happy anniversary Kacy and Danny. Oh yeah, and I have to let my sister leave me. She's moving to Iowa. I will miss her!
So which one would YOU cut out if you were me and 6 weeks left to go in a pregnancy.
( Oh yeah, and, I'm taking care of group of chickens while our neighbors down the road are out of town. ) chickens bring me great joy. I would NEVER have chickens of my own, but I love it when I get to boss them around. They have their own little personalities and attitudes. Remember the movie chicken run? That is exactly how chickens are. Hope the 'coons stay away 'til the owners get back. I don't want to deal with chicken parts. I get to eat all the farm eggs that are laid this week!

Random Updates...
7 weeks left until we meet our baby girl! Sure wouldn't mind if she came a little early!
Our camera broke about a month ago and we decided we'd get a new one but haven't gotten around to it yet...so therefore, I have no pictures to post. :(
Riverlyn starts the Early Childhool Education program at Bluestem Elementary School in Leon this fall. She turns 5 after the cutoff so she can't go to kindergarten. Instead she gets to be a Peer Model Student for her ECE class. It's quite the honor though as they only accept 4 Peer Model Students each year. She will be helping the other kids in the class who might be a little slower at learning and she'll set the examples of how to act in line, and how to follow directions, etc. I think this will perfect for her to use her leadership skills and self-esteem, and also to learn compassion for children that learn slower.
Loki, our boy boxer has doggy lupus. Hehehe. It sounds funny huh? But it's not really. Poor guy lost all his pigment in his face and his nose peels. This kind of lupus is an auto-immune disease. His body's immune system attacks it's own skin cells ultimately killing them. Luckily, it's treatable.
Kylie, bless her heart has lost 3 grandparents in the last 9 months and her grandfather left her grandmother. She's coping good...they were all much older and I guess it wasn't completely unexpected. I took her school clothes shopping today. Just me and her, no River tag-a-long and no daddy, just her and I. It was fun. She's getting to the age of being very trendy and particular about things and it made me excited to go shopping for myself here in about...oh....a year. Ya know, post-baby body....
Well my garden is finally taking off. I'm glad I didn't plant it as large as last year. Harvesting is tough, squatting, bending over, drenched in sweat, all while pregnant. Not ideal. Needless to say, Jason has really been doing alot of the garden work. It irritates me when I can't do my things I always do but ya know, baby is worth it of course!
YoungLives will be a little akward this year...it will definitely take a little while to figure out what I can and can't do with River's school schedule in Leon and meeting the girls in Wichita. Anyhow, WOW how God is doing amazing things with this ministry. When I first started doing it last fall my friend told me how some of these pregnant and parenting teens would just break your heart. Well, I totally get it. Some break your heart because you see them not wanting Christ in their lives. Then the others break your heart because you see how sweet and loving they are and they're trying their hardest to learn all about Jesus and learning how to raise their babies with love. It's wonderful. I might be going to a different group of girls this year which will be awesome, but I will miss a few that I was just getting to know so greatly!
Well, enough about the Nelson homefront. I'll try to post more consistently for my family regarding baby stuff.

I before E except after C
We are off to Tablerock again. This has to be the last time this summer I have to travel for 4 hours in a car while preggo. Happy Independence Day everyone! Cherish it now; with Obama as president, your independence will soon be gone.
Oh yeah...I've been wanting to point this out for quite some time now but haven't gotten around to it. Why do I coninually spell the word "friends" wrong? I always spell it "freinds." Don't ask me....I just always have and probably always will as long as I type it. Now, if I write it I don't misspell it. Wierd huh? Did I spell wierd right? See, the thing is my fingers have a super hard time allowing me to make one hand type the "i" key before the "e" key so it's just a lot easier to just keep my flow and keep on typing. So, this is my disclaimer. I know how to spell f-r-i-e-n-d. But I may just choose to type it however it comes out. K?

Nesting may be setting in.
In the last two days I have
1. Gone through and cleaned out Riv's closet, dresser and toys, bought bunkbeds so the girls can sleep in the same room when Kylie's here;
2 Went through my closet, dresser, shoes, linens and towels;
3. Went through all winter stuff;
4. Packed up clothes in tubs to keep for baby girl when she's 4 and 5.
I ended up with 5 large trashbags of clothes / stuff for the Goodwill Store.
Mission Accomplished.
Next Mission??
Get Jason to load it in the truck,
Get Jason to put together bunkbeds,
Get Jason to go through his winter clothes in what is soon to be baby's closet,
Get Jason to put crib together.

Happy Anniversary honey!
Bowfishing on Tablerock Lake, MO 24 weeks pregnant. ( I never caught anything....imagine that...) J was soooo patient with me as I had to look in every cove possible. He went as slow as possible for the whole day so I could get something and the chance never came.
I fished in this raft at the mouth of the Roaring River because the boat was too big to get to the good spots. I did bowfish here...which was pretty funny. I shot my arrow only to hit the bottom of the river. When I retrieved it, the broadhead was gone. After assuming it broke off upon impact, we found it on the floor of the boat. Which means it wasn't screwed on tight enough, so it fell off. Good thing I didn't get a fish, there was no arrow to kill it. Hehehe!
Happy Anniversary baby. I can't believe I kept you around for the last six years. Or vice versa. (j/k)

A special girl
This is my friend C. I met her as a mentor through YoungLives. She just turned 18, graduated high school, and her daughter just turned 1. God placed her in my life. On graduation day I took her to get her hair done. She graduated with an infant and she deserved something special. I pray for C everyday that she would feel the presence of the Holy Spirit knocking on her heart's door. I pray she allows Christ in so that He can start leading her down the path He has for her and her daughter.
Love you C!
