30 Weeks and Counting!

I can't believe I am already on my 30th week of pregnancy!! I just keep thinking there is so much to do in the next 10 weeks! ahhhh. We have started our child birth classes, and are learning a lot. We seem to be holding back laughter more than the other couples though...we must be immature. haha. Baby Boy Foster has been extremely active the past few weeks. It's amazing to think of the life growing inside me. We have slowly been preparing the nursery. Last weekend we bought a dresser, and our crib will be coming soon! I am super excited for my upcoming baby showers, and for all the fun the next three months will hold!

This weekend, my mom and sister came up to visit. We had so much fun together going to Bodega Bay, downtown Healdsburg, San Francisco, and showing them around our new home town. Here is a picture Micah took in Bodega Bay.

Some other exciting news is that I will be starting to work part time at the Health Club next week, and will be using my time off to work some hours at New Vintage Church in Children's Ministry. I will be focusing on the parent connection pieces mainly in all areas of Children's Ministry. I am VERY excited to be working in CM again. I have missed it so much since my last job...it's been a very difficuly tranisition for me in this way, so this opportunity is a HUGE answer to prayer! : )

Update!

If you don't know already...we are having a BOY!! We are very excited to add another Foster boy to the family, and a long awaited boy to the Solberg family!! I have been feeling much better, and enjoying pregnancy while I can before I start getting too uncomfortable. 
Last weekend Cheryl and Cheronn, my mom and sis in law, came to visit us. We went to San Francisco one day. Don and Cheryl are here now, and we've been enjoying spending some time with them! 
We have started our baby registry. That was a little overwhelming! We had fun though. Other than that, we have been working and preparing for our son to come in September!!

22 Weeks!

Sunny Day in SF!

Life is Good

For those of you who know me well, you know that I have pretty much been a complainer since we moved to Santa Rosa about where we live.  I LOVE the church we are at, and my job is going well, but for some reason, I have been..well a little depressed in the place we live.  It could have something to do with the fact that I have seen more of the inside of our toilet bowl than anything else here.  haha.  Anyway, this week I started looking around me a little bit more, and realized that beauty is all around me, and LIFE IS GOOD.  I really have nothing to complain about.  Below are some pictures I took this past week.  Enjoy!  : )

This is what I see when I walk out our front door...Spring is beautiful!

This is the view standing on our bedroom balcony.

This is me 18 weeks pregnant!

16 weeks!

Here I am at 16 weeks.  I know this is a big jump from my last blog of us just announcing we were pregnant.  All you have missed the past couple months is a lot of being sick, tired, and emotional.  haha.  I am feeling more like myself now, and am not as sick.  I am so thankful for that.  I hear that it's all VERY worth it in the end.  I am not showing all that much yet, but check back in a few weeks.  We should find out if baby Foster is a boy or girl soon too!! : )

Lots of Change for the Fosters

I feel like such a loser for not blogging in sooo long!  Hopefully you got to see this video on Micah's blog.  It's been a crazy couple weeks for us.  I have done nothing but work and lay on the couch. I have been pretty sick. : (  But, today was a great day!  My grandparents came and we went to Bodega Bay for lunch.  It felt great to get out!

Visiting Washington

Micah and I went to Washington the day after Christmas for a week. (Hence my severe lack of blogging). We had a great time! Micah's entire immediate family lives there. Above is a family picture that we took on New Year's Day! This is Micah's parents, sister, brother, sister in law, and our three AWESOME nephews! We arrived at the Portland Airport around midnight on December 26. Snow covered everything. It was beautiful. The ride home was a little slippery, and we almost got stuck pulling into the driveway. The next morning the whole family got together to open presents and celebrate Christmas. Micah and I havn't been able to go up around the holidays, so this was extra special! I hope we can make an annual tradition out of this! The rest of the week was spent eating great meals and playing games with the nephews. We did get to see Marley and Me with Cheronn. I highly recommend it! : ) We also went to a New Year's Eve party at PUMP church. See a funny video of some people we met there and played games with here. We were very sad to leave. I actually cried! How lame am I? haha. I wish we lived closer, and could be together more. It was an unforgettable trip! I hope you all made some great memories this year too!

Giving Up Christmas

Buckhead Church is Giving Up Christmas this year.  This is inspiring.
