14 weeks along

Baby Vitcusky is growing at a great speed! I am now 14 weeks along. I'm not showing yet, but my pants officially no longer fit (at least not comfortably). So today I am wearing maternity pants for the first time.. and wondering.. why don't they make pants like these for EVERYONE?? Sooo comfortable.

I got to hear the heartbeat last week, and it was a healthy, strong one.

Please keep me in your prayers. my boss also told me that she is pregnant and due 3 weeks before me. As of right now, I still have a job and will even after the baby is born. But she has concerns (as do I) that the job will be a lot to handle. I will have two newborns and a 1 1/2 year old. I leave the house at 7am right now, and when the baby comes I will probably have to leave even earlier. I have a feeling that will be rough! But I need the job, so I am willing to try anything.

We will (hopefully) know the sex of the baby by the end of April! Any guesses on boy or girl? I really have no idea. I'm thinking boy but who knows??

In non-baby news...

John and I are helping our church with the Saturday service that launched about a month ago. We are having a lot of fun! John does the announcements (at least I think.. I have actually only been to one service so far) and I teach kids' church during the service. It is only an hour long, from 5pm-6pm. Once we're all done cleaning up, around 7pm, a bunch of us go out to dinner afterwards. And then we get to sleep in on Sundays! If you want to see what we're all about, go to www.bluejeansjesus.com.

One year of wedded bliss!

We couldn't be happier!

Here's a funny picture from our HONEYMOON!

Coming up on ONE YEAR of marriage!

Can you believe it?? This year FLEW by! I am so thrilled that in less than a week John and I will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary. It has been a fantastic year and I am so excited for the MANY years to come with my amazing husband. To think, this time one year ago, my stomach was filled with butterflies as I anticipated my wedding day. Although the 'bride' in me was stressed about the details (ie, going through 3 wedding dresses before finding the perfect one - including selling one to a bride in Australia, firmly instructing the pastor there must be NO POSTERS on the wall of the church, staying up late making my own unity candle and bulletins, researching photographers, DJ's, and wedding reception like it was my job, trying to convince bridesmaids that being at the hotel at 6am would be FUN, etc..).. the 'wife-to-be' in me knew the day would represent our love and commitment for each other and would truly be the best day of my life. And I was right.



Here is a fun memory I have of 9/22/07... just as I was walking into the church to start the ceremony, I knew it was the last time I was walking in there as a 'single' woman. My nerves started kicking in big time. Kim was right in front of me saying "Come on Kristy, you're getting MARRIED!" It was so nice to have that little moment, she was like my Mama bear :-) I was SO happy when I got my wedding pictures back and saw that moment was captured.
