:( can't see them on my computer. (It's old internet explorer, common problem). Have to check back after work! Nice job getting in the workouts :) 

I forgot to mention I have the sweetest most supportive husband ever! I told him yesterday that I planned on eating cream of wheat with cinnamon and raisins today for lunch. Then i was bummed because I remembered we were out of cinnamon. Then last night he had to listen to my cry about a bunch of stuff bothering me with stuff at church and all the responsibilities that people throw on me there since most of them are lazy. The nicest way to say it is if my hubby who is the pastor and I who am the children's teacher didn't show up there would be no church services. I haven't attended any type of adult services in 2 years next month. Just getting tired of the lack of help and then when other people say they are going to do something they never help or follow through. We had to cancel the children's Christmas program because the person who thinks they can do a better job then me didn't show up and we had to cancel the new years lock in for the kids that was planned to do 6 weeks before was never planned at all. No games, food or letter of invitation. I get pissed about this stuff because I do all this for the kids that come to church because I love them so much. But this person thought they could do better then me and got mad when I told him straight up I do everything. Even on Wednesday nights I teach and prepare the dinner for a 30 or a few more every week. Everyone else just shows up unprepared and wings it. So I am dropping all responsibility with it. I told my husband if that's how this person wants to run it then I will not be part of it. As it is I don't plan on trying to keep up with all that after I have the baby anyhow. He supports me 100% and says if anyone wants to say otherwise he will be there to back me up. He knows that if it weren't for us nothing would get done there and there wouldn't be a children's program at all. We started it and God grew it to something amazing. But this other guy doesn't want the kids to have rules because then they won't come. We can't get him to understand it is about the quality of people and them growing not the quantity. Church is not supposed to be merely a social club for adults or children. But to finish my story I woke up this morning to a sweet note saying he hoped his me and our baby enjoyed of cream of wheat today and how much he loved me. To make this story sweeter you would have to know he drove 10 minutes across town in the opposite direction of home to buy this for me after he got off his ten hour shift at 3:30 in the morning. I am so blessed to have him and all our beautiful children. 

Awwww so sweet of your husband! Sorry about all the drama and stress at church :( 

So pretty - halfway there!! :) Sorry about the stuff going on at church.. I think it's best if you just cut your responsibility off and make other people be more accountable. Your hubby is a keeper! :) 

You look great:-) 

most important thing is that you and husband can count on each other and it sounds like you have definately got that:) good for you. and sounds lovely what you do for the children at church Looks to me like the new Person who wanted to take over might be a bit jealous of you? 

You are doing great! Your hubby is a keeper for sure! 

iamachristianjesusfreak you look amazing! And kudos for not stress eating! You are a wonderful person; if someone thinks they can do better than you, let them try. 

Wow...absolutely stunning! Such an inspiration. I wish we went to the same Church! Here I am asking how I can be used and there you are looking for others to help out LOL! You keep on keeping on. It is never easy but if you trust His plan you know there are HUGE rewards ahead so stay the course! Praying for ya :) 

Great pics! You look beautiful! You can tell you are getting a bump! Do people know you are pregnant? I will post pics soon. 

No unless I have told them everyone is shocked. Just had it happen again yesterday when I was talking about our kids and how we would be having our 6th in May. She said do you know what is is yet? I said yes I was just at the doctor Tuesday and found out we are having a girl and I am halfway done. She said wow you look great I didn't even know you were pregnant. I have seen this lady like 6 times in the past month. Lol 

Laura the churches I have always enjoyed the most are the Baptist. But this is were God called my husband to preach and He knows what's best for our lives. 

Blue box instead of stress eating I chewed all my fingernails off which I haven't bitten them in a very long time. Very disappointing and painful.  

I just pulled this up on my phone to see your pictures! You look amazing! No where near 20 weeks. I'm in awe :) 

The outfit in the second pic is really cute, you have a beautiful smile and are looking great! 

Thanks again everyone!
