Well, Jody went to her bi-weekly appointment last Friday, and we never heard back, which means nothing has changed yet. That is a good thing. Even more exciting for Jody was that her doctor told her that he was going to take her off bed rest around April 7, and then she is free to, and I quote, "run, jump, skip, walk the malls, shop to your hearts content" etc. in order to make this baby come. The only thing is that we figure by April 7 she will be off bed rest because the baby will have been born. Either way, we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Please continue to pray for her though, as her contractions are starting to hurt much more, and she made the comment to me over the weekend that her contractions are starting to feel more like labor pain contractions and less like "just some tightening", which is not necessarily a good sign. We really need to get at least another 3 weeks, and preferably at least another 4 weeks, so we really covet your prayers. Obviously it is all in God's hands, but as human beings, not having the "timeline" in hand really makes it a challenge.
Also pray for my family as everything is just taking its toll on Jody and the boys. Between the bedrest, the constant crudiness (not even sure if that is a word, but Jefferson just doesn't seem to be able to shake it) and all the uncertainty surrounding my job situation is putting a lot of stress on the three of them. Just pray that God will give them extra strength at this time.
As for the job situation, it is interesting, because right now I am averaging one call about a job opportunity here in the Twin Cities for every five to seven calls about job opportunities elsewhere in the U.S. We are anxious and excited to see what God is going to do in our family this year!
We also want to say thank you again to all our friends and ladies of the church that are taking time out of their schedules to take care of things for us: cleaning our house, watching the boys, helping Jody. I really don't know what we would have done without all of you.
Thank you for your continued prayers.

Brian,
We will continue to pray for Jody and your little girl! My sister in law was on bedrest for about 10 weeks, and her baby girl was very healthy, PTL! It's so wonderful that you have a great network of people to help you. What an encouragement it must be! Will also pray for the job situation.
