Update from the DR

I already am an emotional person, but when you add pregnancy on top of that, it doesn't help. For some reason I really miss my little brother today. I have read this weeks e-mail from him a few times in the last couple days and have been filled with so much joy knowing he is where the Lord wants him, and is blessing the lives of so many people. This is what life is all about... Service! Missionaries are so unselfish, and truly give of themselves to those they are serving for two years. I guess it isn't so much that I miss James, but filled with so much gratitude, and touched at the young man he has become. I am a very proud big sister! Having someone in your family on a mission is a very neat experience. I am reminded frequently how blessed I am, and what the important things in life really are.

I have to say I am glad I don't have to shower like this everyday!

Most of you wouldn't notice this, but James has gained some weight.

This is a good thing. I am just happy cause that makes two of us in the

Rohwer family that are gaining some pounds. James might be

surprised to see that his big sister will literally be his BIG sister.

Thank you James for bringing that number on the scale up too!

I love you little bro!

I can't cool down!!

I got home Saturday from a fun girl's weekend in Vegas. Oh my goodness we had a blast!  There were six of us that went: Hayley Neil, Julie Nelson, Karly Adams, Whitney Hawkins, Chauri Hendrickson, and Me!  Due to the fact it was 114 degrees, I was happy that I had two other girls (Chauri and Karly) that were also pregnant.  We did a great job of staying inside as much as possible, swimming in the cold pool and staying hydrated.  But I have so say, I have had a hard time cooling down.  I think my insides are still cooking!  

The trip consisted of eating very good food, spending to much money shopping, a show, swimming at the pool, staying at a very nice hotel, and laughing A LOT!!  We all had such a great time, and all agreed this trip was well deserved! We took lots of pictures, but all on different cameras.  So stay tuned for pictures and more information on this fun trip!  

I just had to post and say that I had so much fun, and I am so lucky to have such great friends! 

Healthy Boy

We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday.  As many of you know we went to Fetal Photos and did an ultrasound at 15 weeks. That is how we knew so early that it was a boy.  We did start to question Fetal Photos and we were worried we would find out that really what we thought was a little boy was going to be a little girl.  But....the baby is still a boy!  I was happy to have that confirmed.  I have been talking to him about bugs, planes, trains, cars, football, basketball, dirt and trucks now for the last 6 weeks. 

This little guy has quite the personality, and had us laughing the whole time. He still has a lot of space to move around in there, but a lot of space is not being used. He had both knees touching his nose, his hands on his toes, or he was sitting on his feet. He was making it a little difficult to see that he really is a boy.  

At one point in the ultrasound we were laughing at something he was doing and he stuck his tongue out at us. Little Stinker!

The best part of the ultrasound was to see that he is growing and developing the way he should, and there are no problems. He is a healthy boy!  

He is very scrunched up, and his ankles are crossed.  Also, that one hand would not leave his face.

Look at that sweet face!

Again..... very scrunched up and his knee is touching his nose.
