Pictures of me... at 30 weeks

I have tried avoiding the camera these days... but apparently, I have been avoiding the computer as well by the looks of my blog and the very few posts I have done in the last couple of months!

I still have not been to an American doctor, although I do have an appointment coming up. Our traveling schedule has been very intense to say the least. We just made it back to Texas today, where we plan for me to give birth to little Micah James around January 28th. From this point forward we will be making smaller trips, always returning to this area. It seems surreal that I will be holding another baby in my arms very soon.

I am feeling absolutely wonderful... just more tired with this pregnancy than the previous three. I am sure that has everything to do with age and having more children to be Mommy to as I wait. Hubby has been very understanding and does his best to help. What would I do without him?
I only have about 38 days to go. Wonder if Micah will be a "blondie" like my boys...? Or dark-skinned and dark-haired like my Brianna...? Isn't it so much fun that we don't choose for ourselves?

  1. Babies are such a blessing and having the privilege of mothering them - ahh...God loves us so much! What an awesome picture we have of God's love for us - greater than the love we have for our children. We will be praying for delivery. Merry Christmas, Jolene.

  7. Anna saw your picture and said, "Ooooo! She's a pretty girl, Mama!" She's right, you look beautiful. And you have absolutely no reason to be avoiding the camera. Love you all and praying for you. Looking forward to meeting your little Micah this upcoming year. (Also, I think he needs to have red hair. ;))

  9. Are you sure you are pregnant? You are so tiny. Tish's 4 year old asked me if I had a baby in my stomach so I told him, I was just fat. But I look like I'm going to have triplett's. lol So glad you are doing good. Have a wonderful Christmas. Love you and all the Sloans.

  10. So are you guys going to be passing through Lubbock during your short trips? All the Mexico and El Salvador family arrived safely yesterday and will be here for a few days. We're all excited to have my Bethany home for a while.

    We're still praying for you guys and are excitedly waiting to see pictures of the new arrival!

    In Christ,

    Bro. Garry
