Enjoying the Weather

Hi there,

I am in my third (and LAST) trimester! : ) This means I get to visit my OB/GYN every other week now. It is always nice to hear the baby's heartbeat and to know that she is okay. 2 and a half (or less) months to go!
Since I named Amy, it was Chris' turn to choose a name for our baby girl. So we are proud to announce that our little one is going to be Haley (we still need to decide on a middle name) James. Haley is a very active baby; sometimes it is hard to convince me that she is alone in there. :) I am very thankful babies can't "kick" a hole through their mommy's belly, because she is sure trying hard. :) 

Another craft Amy and I did
(You can see the other one in our
previous post)
In case you are interested, here are the links to our baby registries:

Amy and I still walk a lot (22-28 miles a week), and Amy started to really walk with me! (Normally she is in her stroller.) She can walk half a mile without any trouble. I love spending time with her this way and so far we enjoyed the weather, too. Our public library has a huge room for kids, and there are lots of educational toys, so we go there at least once a week to play. She made some friends there, and I love seeing her play with other kids.

Chris and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary in May. Karen watched Amy so Chris and I could go on a date. We had a great time!
So much has happened since we got married. We lived in 4 houses so far (in 2 countries), had Amy, and now anticipating Haley's arrival. We are very thankful for all the blessings! Looking forward to the next 4 years!

A few weeks ago Amy had her first sleepover at her grandparents' house. It was the very first time Amy and I were away from each other for the night. She had a great time at Karen and Dave's house, and is looking forward to sleeping there again!  It was weird to wake up on our own without Amy waking us up. : ) 

Big Smile :)
Chris has been working from home since the middle of January and so far he had plenty of jobs. We are very thankful that he can work from home! Please pray that he will continue to have enough work to support our growing family. : ) I am very thankful for a hard working husband and for the luxury of me being able to stay home with Amy (and soon Haley). I know this is a privilege and treat it as such!

We would love to hear from you! Our e-mail address is chrislilijames@gmail.com. You can write us anytime!

Have a wonderful week!
