Aren't we such a lovely family? And note that the pregnant sisters have matching shirts :) Just think, next year, there will be two little ones in our family picture, although I'm sure we'll take some family pictures WAY before then!

Update...
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We got to go to 4 family Thanksgivings this year; two on Thursday, one on Saturday, and one on Sunday, so needless to say, we were well-fed all weekend :) We drove home Thursday morning and went straight to Jesse's aunt and uncle's house, then went to my aunt and uncle's house in the evening. Friday, my sister and I spent most of the day at the church, decorating and preparing for the party that we threw for our parent's 25th anniversary. It went really well; we had SO many people there! We even put bells on the table for people to ring to make our parents kiss and made them feed each other cake :) Krista and I were SO tired that night! Saturday, we went over to Jesse's sister's house for his dad's family Thanksgiving. Sunday, we were "heathens" and skipped church to go out for breakfast with Dustin and Krista; we figured that we never get to do stuff like that with them, and with two babies on the way, that was probably our last chance! We then went up to my grandparent's house for my mom's family Thanskgiving and spent the day up there, before coming home that evening.
My mom and Krista very graciously came home with us that Sunday night to help us move on Monday. We woke up on Monday to about 3 inches of snow on the ground...not an ideal day for a move, but is any day an "ideal" day to move??? Moving is NEVER fun! Our friend Josh brought his parent's 15-passenger van from the suburbs and helped us all day, and then our friends Vernon and Andrea (Vernon and Josh are brothers) came that afternoon and helped out for a little bit. We were VERY blessed that everything went smoothly (besides trying to get our couch into our new apartment...), and to have such AMAZING friends and family to come and help us! I don't know what we would have done without them! We spent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night making short trips back to the old apartment to finish bringing the rest of our stuff and to get the place clean, and then Jesse went over there on Thursday after school and made a few final trips and mopped the kitchen floor. So we are officially moved into our new apartment...but not quite settled! We will post pictures once we settle in a little more. There really isn't a whole lot more to do, and what is left can't really be done until we put up some shelving; for now, it's just about organizing the clutter that is left after all the big stuff has been put away.
Jesse finishes up school for the semester next week; please keep him in your prayers as he studies for finals and practices for his juries! Thankfully, he is only taking two classes next semester, which will be nice once the baby comes! I just can't wait for him to be on Christmas break, when we can actually spend time together in the evening! I mean, we get to be at home at the same time, but it's not the same when he has to be doing homework or practicing guitar. I'm sure he's even more anxious than me to be done for the semester and be able to relax a little for a few weeks!
We will be home for Christmas; as of now, the plan is to come home either the evening of the 23rd or sometime on the 24th and stay through that Sunday. Krista is due to have their baby that Sunday, so we'll see how everything goes! We will also be home that following weekend for another family Christmas.
I think that's all for now...I'll post pictures of the apartment once we're settled in, and I'll post some new belly pics soon ;)

Moving...
We have some good news! We finally got the call that we got an apartment over at Franson-Risberg! It is available December 1st. This means that we will be packing up before Thanksgiving and moving on the 1st. We are excited to move somewhere where we can save some money on rent and have laundry in the building, but of course, moving does bring stress with it! Please keep us in your prayers these next few weeks as we try to get our stuff organized and packed! My boss has said that I can most likely have that Monday off work, and Jesse will have class in the morning, but he should be able to get that evening off work. My mom and sister have graciously volunteered to come home with us after Thanksgiving and help, and some friends of ours have also volunteered to help, so hopefully, things will go smoothly and we'll be able to get everything moved that day!
A couple of weeks ago when we thought we might get into a different apartment over there right away, one of our biggest concerns was finding someone to take over our lease, as our current lease doesn't expire until mid-February. However, we now someone lined up to move into our apartment; our friends Ronel and Kim (Jesse works with Kim at Help Desk, and Ronel used to work there) are getting married January 10th and were looking for an apartment, so Ronel will be moving in around the 15th, and then Kim will move in after the wedding! They were over and signed the lease yesterday. I've said this before, but I'll just keep saying it...as nice and easy as it would be to move home, especially with a baby on the way, I can't doubt for a second that this is where God wants us! He just keeps blessing us and blessing us and blessing us...in every way!
The pregnancy is still going extremely well; only good reports at every doctor's visit! My next visit is December 3rd, and after that, I have to start going every two weeks instead of every four, so that kinda puts into perspective how fast this baby is coming! Sometimes, it seems like time is going by really fast, but most of the time, I feel like February is still so far away! I think it will help to have a new niece or nephew next month :) I'll post some pictures after I take some with Krista at Thanksgiving :)
I think that's all for now...please just keep us in your prayers these next few weeks! Pray that we'll be able to get things organized and packed quickly and efficiently, that Jesse will be able to keep caught up with his homework, and that both of us will still get our sleep and keep our sanity! Thank you all for your continued prayers, and for reading our blog :)

Here's me at 20 weeks and two days, Krista at 29 weeks! Oh, and tonight, Jesse FINALLY felt the baby kick! I've been trying for a while to time it right, but it seems like every time I feel a good, strong kick, I'll be like "Jesse, come here!" and then...nothing! But finally he was able to feel it tonight, and I of course got tears in my eyes! :)
We enjoyed a weekend at home this past weekend, it was nice to see family and some friends! We don't know for sure the next time we will be home, as we will probably be having my family in town in November, but if not before, definitely for Thanksgiving!

Link to Ultrasound Pics!!!
So I was having trouble posting our ultrasound pictures on here last night, so in the meantime, here is a link to my facebook album! I will get them up here on our blog as soon as possible!!!
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=136945&l=57d3d&id=758115416
The ultrasound tech said that everything looked great! According to her, our child is "an active little one" and "a wiggle worm"! He or she was moving all around and it took her about 20 minutes to get all of the pictures that she needed! She even had to let me get up and go to the bathroom, thinking that my being up and moving around a little might make the baby get into a better position so that she could get the pictures she needed! It was the coolest thing EVER to see the little heart beating (we could actually see all four chambers of the heart!), the little hands moving around, and that precious little profile!!! We will continue to keep you all posted, and I promise to post pictures as soon as possible!!!
