24 Week Update

I hope my tardy blogging isn't showing how diligent I will be once Benjamin is born. Here is my large belly at 24 weeks:



This was taken with Grammy and Grandpa Klovstad at Lake Mojave. Jason and I were blessed to spend our last "real" vacation before baby comes in December. It was a short, but fun weekend spent in the sun.

I'm feeling LARGER every day and sleep is intermittent or nonexistent, but I know it's so worth it. Jason got to feel Ben kick for the first time at week 23! He thought it was me flexing my muscles (funny considering I have a small watermelon covering where I hope I still have muscles), but Ben made sure daddy knew it was his boy. Now we get to enjoy kicks every evening after dinner. 

According to Babycenter, we have a a 13 1/2 inch long pound and a half rutabaga, so he's growing like crazy! Here is a picture of Penny enjoying Grandma Jody and Grandpa Michael's gift to Ben. It's a soft lamb that sings "Jesus Loves Me" that Grandma Jody recorded. Penny thinks it's for her.


And here's my first attempt at making Ben a beanie. I crocheted it and I will be adding some trim, but otherwise the frame is done! It's an aviator style!


Thank you for your prayers for Ben! 

Love,
Jason and Madison
