News from the Lane's

This week has been a little quieter than most for us. The baby is getting stronger and stronger- we cannot wait until we start seeing those feetsies and handsies! It seems like the weeks are just flying by! We only have approximately 16 weeks left until he comes to join us. We are working really hard on trying to find a name that we fee really good about, but so far nothing seems to be fitting him. Julie was able to eat a little beef this week which made her day because she really misses real home-cooked meat! Jeff has been missing it too! Poor guy!

Jeff has been working on helping Julie to get some stuff done on her online class this week. He has also been enjoying the football season-even if BYU cannot figure out how to score for their own team and Texas A&M is not showing theirs on TV.he is looking forward to the possibility of seeing a&M play next Friday.Saturday he went with Julie to shoot some guns. the baby did not like the sound of the magnum so she spent some time watching from inside the car. Tonight, he went to a priesthood meeting.

Julie finished the baby quilts this week and made some head way in her online course. the baby shower invites went out this week so you women should all be getting one :) even if you cannot come. Julie's belly is getting huge although Silvia Aadmot- Ma & Pa's friend said today that Julie does not look like she is gained anything while others seem to agree that she is getting huge. I guess it does vary with the position the baby is in- since it likes to hide Silvia may have been close to right :)

The Wisconsin Haws Family

We have had a pretty unremarkable week here in Wisconsin. We have been noticing the cooling temperatures and the change in the leaves. I have pretty much finishing harvesting the garden but Grant's pumpkins keep ripening.

Logan was home a few days ill. Emily has had the sniffles but did not have to stay home. Part of that may be due to the heavy load she is carrying. I think that she is worried about getting behind. Lanette continues to have mixed feelings about school here. Somedays she wants to go back to the School for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

Mom and I have been in the process of deciding about replacing the roof on the house. It is not a small cost but we realize that my patching jobs probably are the best solution. Speaking of home repairs, I tried to replace Grant's ceiling fan last night. That was not very successful. Pray for my success tomorrow!!!

The Jackson's of Albuquerque

This week Kevin and Stacie had a little scare. At Stacie's doctor appointment on Tuesday the doctor was unable to locate the baby's heartbeat. It was a very scary moment. The doctor pulled out an old ultrasound machine built in the 1970s and struggled to locate the baby and the baby's heart. Stacie became very very anxious as the doctor searched for several minutes. After finally locating the baby and the baby's heart, Stacie's doctor was still concerned because she couldn't measure the speed of the heart rate. Luckily, the doctor was able to work with an ultrasound technician so that Stacie could have an ultrasound (with a modern machine) right away. Thankfully, the technician was able to locate the baby and the baby's heartbeat right away.


After that rollercoaster ride, the week was fairly quiet for Stacie and Kevin. On Friday night they went out to 5 Guys Burgers & Fries and then played a bookstore game searching for their favorite books on various subjects. Stacie was excited to purchase more baby books. They have sent in some pictures of their date night. On Saturday they enjoyed shopping at the new Goodwill center that opened near their house. They purchased several picture frames to decorate their nursery. They also visited Hobby Lobby where Stacie was excited to pick up some tools to make some baby quiet books. In the evening they enjoyed watching "The Ghost Writer" together.
