I am now 37 weeks pregnant! YAY! The baby will hopefully come on time (I'm not usually early-4 days early was the earliest!!). It is definitely a boy. Somewhere along the way, we decided that we liked the name Jeremiah but the kids have wrecked it by calling him "baby Jerry"! I'm not really fond of Jerry as a nickname but it's really stuck. I even find myself calling him baby Jerry (and I still don't like it!!). He weighed 6 lbs. 2 oz. at the last ultrasound (a little over a week ago). Leona seems to be making a little progress. She did go for 4 days without lying but then had one really bad day where she made up for it (lying 4 times in one day-not her record but bad enough!). So she is still training in "quit your lying" or "truth" boot camp. Her main motivation to tel the truth seems to be that she does not want to go to jail when she gets bigger. We have talked to her about how God wants us to tell the truth, how it can make a big mess of things when we lie, and if we lie all the time that no one will believe what we say (you should have seen her eyes when I told her the story about the boy who cried wolf!!). Then one day I told her about a girl I know who lies about a lot of things and how this girl lied a lot when she was younger but now she is big and still lies a lot. This girl lied so much that she had to go to jail because she lied (for writing bad checks). I explained to her that I would be very sad to see her grow up and lie so much that she would go to jail. That really stuck in her head! I never thought it would make such an impact-I was just trying to explain how much trouble you can get in for lying! |
