Well, sort of in the exception of another little guy that we brought home with us just over 24 hours ago!! He is SO precious!! He is SO quiet. He eats plays for about 10 minutes and then back to sleep he goes.
I came home yesterday rested, did only one load of clothes and put a dish in the oven for supper that my mom had already prepared for us when we came home. (thanks mom!)
The night was virtually painless and restful for the first night at home. Trevor fell asleep at 7 and Tyler fell asleep at 8 . Trevor was STILL asleep at 1:30 a.m. and I got worried so I woke him, changed him and fed him. He then went back to sleep until 5 a.m. and then did not awake for the 3rd time until 9 a.m. Let's pray he keeps this schedule for a while. It was AWESOME. Tyler slept the whole night as well. He only got up once to tell me he needed more juice and he wanted to see Trevor and make sure he was o.k. He then went back to sleep until 8:30!!!
Mark is in the studio with a group right now and me and the " BOYS" are hanging out upstairs. Trevor is sleeping, Tyler is watching cartoons and I just finished my lunch. Not to bad seeing that we have added in another little " PROJECT" for a while!! HAHA!!
Thank you for your prayers for me. I had a great Labor. I was not in much pain for long and then he came SO fast. God was SO good. I feel good. I just have a little bit of back pain and a few strains in my arms from pushing. Other than that I am good and I am going to try and make myself relax for a few days and enjoy my " NEW" addition.
Tyler is doing WONDERFUL. He LOVES Trevor. Wants to hold him almost all the time, kiss him and " PET" him he says!! He is going to be a GREAT BIG brother.
Thanks again and be sure to check out the video of us in the hospital. Keep us in your prayers as we will still be adjusting for a while!!
God Bless,
Andrea

Hanging In There!
The Lord was good. We did our date today and I managed to sing my way through another service.
The bad news is that I am now almost 2 days past my due date and NO signs of baby!!! I go to the doctor again tomorrow and we will see what they say!
My parents made it in to our house tonight and we are getting them settled for the BIG arrival.......Hopefully real soon.
Mark is staying busy in the studio and worked hard Saturday to get as much done as possible so that he has a little less pressure on him for this week. We are praying that something comes to pass with " Trevor" this week. The blessing would be that they due induce and I could go do our meeting this coming Sunday too!!! We are local this coming Sunday so this would not a big strain on me. PRAY PRAY PRAY!!!!
Tyler is starting NOT to believe his daddy and I that Trevor really is coming to see us soon. We have told him this for a while and so he is having trouble believing we ARE telling the truth!
Thank you for your prayers and support to us as always. May the Lord bless you all as you serve Him.
We will let you know if there is a baby this week.......or NOT!!! PLEASE pray for me as this might be the week. I covet your prayers that I will have a safe and easy delivery. God gave me a very good and relaxing one the last time so I covet your prayers for another delivery in the same way!!!
God Bless,
Andrea

Squeaky clean!!!
I officially do not know what else to clean! Today alone I have cleaned out my bathroom closet, kitchen cabinets and got Tyler's closet narrowed down to the close that he can wear and all his summer things together in his closet as well.
If Trevor does not come soon I am going to go crazy!!! Although I thought to myself today. I should stop with the cleaning and enjoy a few moments sitting down while I can. Because we all know that when a newborn arrives you do not have to many moments to yourself for quite a while. So I am going to try and slow down for a few days and enjoy because........surely he( Trevor) will be here soon.
Here is the next prayer request. I have come this far so we all need to pray that I can do our Sunday date this weekend. I need to sing Sunday morning and then about 2 p.m. start feeling the PAIN!! I will be about an hour from the hospital so this would allow me to do the date and then get back home. Some of you may be laughing but I am serious!!! This would be a blessing to us.
My mom and dad are going to come in on Sunday afternoon down from my sisters house so this would be perfect. Thank you for your prayers for this in advance.
Have a good weekend and we will let you all know what goes down in the next couple of days. I go back to the doctor Monday so we should know something then as to what they might do or not do.
Pray for Tyler as his little world is about to change as he knows it. I know that he will be a good brother I just want he to know that he is still SO loved and not have to much of a hard time with the change.
Thank you for your prayers for us and the ministry God bless you all!!

COME ON!!!!
O.K. I got through another church service day and the Lord was good to us. However, I did not go into labor with this baby like I had hoped last night and like I had said for all of you to pray that I would!!! SERIOUSLY!!!! We have got to get a move on about this whole thing. I am so ready and Trevor does not seem to care!!!!
I am going to the doctor this morning and so we will see what he says. The only thing that I can hope for is that I am due on Saturday and if I have not had him by then maybe he will induce. I really don't want it that way I would rather go into labor on my own, BUT I would NOT say NO if I have gone that long and that point and still no signs.
My parents are up right now at my sisters house in Gaylord Michigan in hopes that they will be here when I deliver. So this is an extra push that I NEED to have this baby this week so that their trip is not in vain.
I hope that all of you mothers had a great Mothers day. Funny story about me and Mothers day. 21 years ago yesterday I got my last spanking from my mom.....on Mothers day!!! Mom had bought me some new shoes to wear with a new dress that she had got me. All three of us girls had new outfits for the day. I did not want to wear the shoes, but mom said she really wanted me to. However, I DID NOT! So I thought that I would go changed them try and get out the door to church and she would NEVER know.......right? Well, she noticed, I disobeyed and my mom got to use her motherly gifts and spank me on..... MOTHER'S DAY!! So she and I will forever have a bond on this day that she and I will NEVER forget!!! HAHAH! What's really funny is how much that I REALLY LOVE shoes now. Maybe this is why?
We had good services at our church and I had a relaxing day as well. I got my favorite meal to-go came home got in comfy clothes and managed to fit in a nap before returning back to church. GOOD DAY!!!
O.K. so I do not want to be the one updating you for a while after I sign off here! I want to have this baby. SO pray!!! PLEASE!!!!
Have a good week and I hope to have Mark telling you real soon that I am in the hospital and he is posting pictures of Trevor. This would be awesome. Take care and do something this week to make our Lord proud!

Getting Things In Order!!!
Although I have had the baby's room ready to go for a while I have had a few other things that I wanted to get done too. I have all the bags in the car ready to go at any time. I installed the car seat Monday.
I went to the doctor an Wednesday and there are good signs of the day coming real soon. I am SO ready to get this little guy here. I have had a bad cough for about a week and my ribs are starting to hurt so bad. Seeing that every time that I cough I am picking up a baby in my belly too!!! HA!
Mark asked me what I wanted for Mothers day and I had an option in mind. So Tuesday I went and got my toes done so that they would be nice for when I do go to the hospital. I did this with Tyler too. Something about getting this done that makes you feel a little better about yourself. Especially when you are laying in the hospital not feeling real pretty at the time anyway.....if you know what I mean!
I managed to fit in a nap today. Very MUCH needed. I have not slept good at all for the last four or five nights. I have been up a minimum of 3 times trying to stop coughing and trying to find a comfortable place to sleep. Mark is still not over his cough nor is Tyler. So this has made for some long and not so good sleeping nights for us all. So I put Tyler down and Mark and I managed to fit in about an hour and Tyler got about 2 hours worth of nap. A treat well needed for us all.
I am updating this now because I do not know when I will talk to you next. I have come this far so now I am pushing for Sunday night. We are filling in at our church and singing. We are never able to sing and be at our church. As a matter of fact there are people that go there that probably do not have a clue who we are or are aware of what we do. This would be nice to be there. So I figure that all of you out there in Blogger land reading this could pray that I start into labor Sunday night!!!! This would be PERFECT!! I know the Lord can answer prayers and He has been asked to answer stranger things than this. SO PRAY!!! THANK YOU!!
Take care and hopefully Mark will be the one to update you next. Because that will mean that I can't due to having a baby or coming home with one!!! God Bless you and thank you for your prayers and concern for us and the ministry. Talk to you later. Keep checking back......you never know what you will read next!!!

WE MADE IT!!!!
As you saw from the front page and as Mark stated we have been praying to get through this weekend! The Lord is good!! WE DID!!! I am now only 12 days from my due date. This very exciting. I am just ready to get through it and meet this little guy. He thought that when we got home last night from our meeting around 12:00 a.m. this morning it was time to PLAY!!! He was moving around so much I had to stay sitting up for a while so that he could get all the moving out of his little system!!! LITTLE BOOGER!!! Looks like I have another one on my hands!
Mark has gone " Up North" for the day with his brother to start their scouting for the fall deer season. I have informed Marks parents of this " Just in case" Trevor decides that today is the day. Mark will not get home until late tonight so you never know I always like to have a backup plan.
I got the car seats down from the attic ( no, just kidding Marks brothers did, ) this weekend and got them all washed and cleaned up. They are ready to install in the car for Trevor's first car ride ( one of MANY in this family). Poor little guy he just does not have a clue whats coming his way!!!
Tyler and I are hanging out here together today and running a few errands. Might have to fit in a trip to a few Goodwill's today! We have fun doing this.
Tyler did a GREAT job on his song with us this weekend. He played the mandolin better than ever!! HA! He is such a good little guy. Never complains. All he needs is his DVD player, some toys, his blue blanket and a few snacks and the occasional " Happy Meal". Not to much for a little guy that is asked to get up and leave at 6:30 a.m. on the weekends, ride in the car all day and then be expected to "BE GOOD" when we get there!
I am going to run for now. Keep us......ME in your prayers as we are definitely on the count down!!! I am still feeling great in the exception a cold a bad cough. Other than that I am fine. We will keep you posted and we will for sure announce with Trevor is here.
God bless and have great week serving our Lord.
In His Care,
Andrea
