6 more weeks until Baby Moriah!

Sweet ornament from my (Jenn) parents
Jenn says: We're at 34 weeks of pregnancy...only 6 more weeks to go if we make it to 40! Other than an achey back (especially in the mornings!), some heart burn, and one of the toddlers at church mistaking my tummy for a "ball," I feel pretty great! The baby's movements can be pretty large, I think she's running out of room! She now likes to kick my ribs...that part is not too fun!
I'm feeling pretty good about the labor/delivery part too, I've chosen not to worry. We are planning to not use an epidural (though of course this could change!) and will probably have the aid of a doula during the birth. The comments I get about "going natural" are always funny - some think it's crazy and very "earth mother" and then others think it's very normal and encourage it. When it comes down to it...this is the best decision for us! I think what I'm dreading the most is the "no sleep" part for the first several weeks after she is born!
Jason is excited. This little girl is going to be WRAPPED around her daddy's finger! We keep wondering what she'll look like, act like. She definitely has the potential to act VERY goofy (should we blame this all on her dad???). "Kid watching" has always made us giggle, but now it's taken on a new meaning!
The days ahead I think I will be reading a little more fervently and getting things done a little more quickly... things will be happening soon!

Little socks are so cute!


Organizing a lot of her clothes on the pool table...can we say PINK?!

34 weeks along!

The Mighty God, the Everlasting Father



Every Christmas I am reminded....that Jesus is God !

Isaiah 9:6
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, the everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." (King James Version)


The WORD = Jesus. I think it's so amazing how God came and hung around people, even though He was God! Definitely shows me how much he loves people.

John 1:1
"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (New American Standard Bible)
John 1:14
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." (New American Standard Bible)

Thanksgiving with BOTH Families!

Jenn: My family drove out from CA/flew out from Missouri to spend Thanksgiving with us in Park City!
Hanging out at the hotel with my sister Jordan, brother Justin, and sister-in-law Jennifer Lynn (we have the SAME name, so my family fondly calls her "Jenn 2."

Thanksgiving was a blast! We got a Byers/Gunderson family shot. We're only missing April and Jason!

The sibs, hubby, and my cousin Brit and her hubby Devin.
Looks very much like a "family photo," but we adore our little niece Addison, who will soon have our little Moriah to play with!

I am a very proud Auntie of this little girl!

She is precious!

Showing off the bumps, and I suppose, getting the cousins acquainted! "Jenn 2" is due on Cinco de Mayo, 2011 !
