Now about Bryce

Just a short post to update everyone on my pregnancy. I am now 36 weeks! Where has the time gone?? We're having a c-section in Warren on July 15. I go back to the doctor on July 3, so that could change, I suppose. I have been doing really great. No swelling, or high blood pressure or anything. Just keep praying that everything continues to go well and we'll have a happy, healthy baby boy really soon!

I have been to camp and back

Last week I was 35 weeks pregnant and I went with my hubby to take kids to youth camp. Most people thought I was absolutely crazy!!! However, it was a great week and I was a good girl and didn't tire myself out too much. Here's a day-to-day synopsis of our week:

Tuesday
Left for camp at about 10:45. Arrived at Camp WOW (walk on water) in Stuart, OK at about 2:15. Unpacked, blah, blah, kids took a swim test, had worship that night. Before worship every night we had blue light specials where the kids played games for prizes. Tuesday night's game was wall twister. Yep, they had to figure out as a team how to play twister on the wall. Very interesting! After worship, we had church group time and then a luau. Of course, I had Cayson with me so every night after the band was through playing, (about 8:30) I had to take him back to our room and put him to sleep. So I missed the speaker and the late night stuff every night.

Wednesday
Breakfast, morning worship, family group time, morning break-out session (where the youth ministers each taught a class and the kids could sign up for which one they wanted), lunch, rec time (our girls went undefeated this day!), free time, dinner, blue light special (camp idol!), worship, church group time, western night.

Thursday
Basically the same as Wednesday except blue light special was the wheel of misfortune! They had to spin the wheel to find out what they'd have to do to earn a prize. At the end all the youth ministers raced to see who could eat 3 things the fastest: an onion, a cricket, and a worm! Shaun did pretty well with the cricket and the worm, believe it or not. It was the onion that got to him. The late night activity was laser tag.

Friday
Same stuff, except blue light special was camp bingo! The big prize was an Ipod Touch! And the late night was free time.

Saturday
Baptism and head home!

Now for the awesome stuff. We took 4 girls and 2 of them accepted Christ! Shaun baptized them in the lake Saturday morning!

Camp was a really different experience for me. I didn't get to hear any preaching at all, whatsoever. But I did experience some really incredible worship time. And I know I grew a lot in my faith despite not hearing any preaching.

Oh, and Cayson learned his first song!!! He learned the chorus to "Lord I'm amazed by you"! It is the sweetest thing I've ever heard! He was just singing right along with everyone else. He was such a good boy this past week. I'm so proud of him!

Happy Father's Day, Sweetie!

You are such a wonderful husband and dad. You are so good to us. We love you so much!

Still here, just getting ready for that baby!

Hey guys! I'm still here. I'm just to the point that I'm ready to have Bryce and get on with everything! Just to remind you, I'm having a csection on July 15, unless something happens! This has been a very busy month so far for the Martin household. The biggest thing was my sister-in-law's wedding last weekend. It was a little stressful getting ready for it, mainly because of my bridesmaid's dress, but it pulled together beautifully. I had to get my dress made since the dresses she picked out didn't come in maternity sizes! What made it stressful for me was looking different than everyone else and simply being HUGE! But I think it turned out okay. Cayson was a ringbearer and he was so cute! The highlight for me was after he RAN down the aisle, crawled up on stage, handed me his pillow, he stood up and clapped and said, "I did good!" It was so cute!

Next week we leave for youth camp! Pray for me that Bryce stays put while we're gone!

Me at the rehearsal, waiting to get started. Notice the new haircut (bangs and layered) and, of course, the baby bump!

My cute little man!

I'm proud to announce that my hubby is blogging again! He's been working on a website for our church and each of the staff members are going to have a blog. So he set up a Tumblr blog, since it's so easy to use. Please check it out and leave encouraging comments!
