Goodbye Farm!

We're back in New York and life has been busy, well busy compared to the past couple months, for us. We've had tons of doctors appointments and we're also in the process of packing up to move out of our current apartment (affectionately referred to as The Farm), and back into the base. We've both lived on the YWAM base at different times, but this will be the first time we've lived there as a married couple, with one room to call our own. We're busy sorting and packing and preparing to store away anything we don't deem a necessity, and take only the bare essentials into our new home. We know that we're about to be overrun with baby odds and ends and there just won't be room for our stuff.

It seems so strange because most people find out they're pregnant and they strive to get their lives in order before the little bundle arrives. Well, for us, the more stability we try and look for, the less steady our world seems. Which is okay, we've both been in ministry long enough to know that God is WAY bigger than our circumstances. Ask any DTSer and they know, the name of the game is FLEXIBILITY. This baby boy will definitely be born into a state of transition, but hopefully he'll get enough cuddles and kisses that it won't bother him in the least.

This is the current disarray that our room is in right now. Piles, piles, piles, EVERYWHERE!!!

Yep, just more of the chaos.

Here's Johnny looking guilty because he gave up on packing and is now playing video games, with his trusty sidekick, Lola, cuddling on his lap.

Lola is completely uninterested in this packing nonsense.

It's kind of exciting too...it seems like every change moves us closer and closer to our baby. We move this week, next week I start my third trimester, then in a few weeks we go to Pennsylvania for a relaxing babymoon/1st anniversary celebration, then we begin birthing classes... and so on and so on. And each little tiny thing, each event that passes, means less time till I get to hold him. I really can't wait, patience is so not my strong suit... but some things make it worth it.

Like this morning for example.

I laid in bed awake for over and hour, while Johnny was still sleeping, and I watched my baby put on a show. He was wide awake and he was rolling and kicking and making my whole stomach shake. I just laid there and prayed for him and for his life and that he would be an incredible and Godly man. We just hung out, me and my boy, and I fell even more in love than I thought was possible yesterday. And I know that's just gonna keep happening. How great is our God that he created love and he created it to be endless? Amazing.

Hurry up baby boy...we're so excited to meet you...

Love, your mommy and daddy

Me (with no makeup!) 27 weeks pregnant

Thanks for checking in with us, we love you all and thank you so much for your prayers!
Love, Johnny and Kelsey and Baby K
