we just signed emerson up for his first soccer team and they happened to need extra coaches so chris signed up too. i remember the first moment i found out i was having a little boy... these are the things i dreamt about. he doesn't have to be good at it... it's just the right of passage of this little son of mine and his daddy playing together and in doing so... learning something about life. i can't wait.

things are moving along fine. i have to admit i'm sort of hoping to have this baby soon. chris is pleading with me to stay as still as possibly and buy him more time. :) he's switching jobs this week and wants a couple weeks under his belt before he takes a week off. 2 weeks of bedrest... i think i may end up in the psych ward.

seriously though... it has been a sort of profound time. i have had several revelations about myself, my life and my family that only came from being backed into a corner of inactivity. the exact nature of these revelations is too private to talk about... but i knew God had something for me and i'm sure there is more to come.

i have my next ultrasound and testing session at osu on monday morning. it will be somewhat decisive since they will be able to really access whether phoenix is growing. will update then...
