15 weeks

Wow I can't believe it is 15 weeks! It seems like only yesterday we found out we were expecting and now we are almost 4 months along!  Being pregnant has been so wonderful and we are so excited to continue this journey.   I would like to thank everyone who has been praying for us and for our child. I have been starting to feel the aches and effects of pregnancy on my body and have even started to show. (although I have a little "bump" it looks more like I've gained a ton of weight than a baby)

Our baby is the size of an apple this week!!

Best Moment this week: When Jacob looked at my belly and got a HUGE smile and said that's our baby!


(Jacob's Note)
I think one of the most fun things about our pregnancy so far has been Amy's dreams and waking up in the middle of the night to say something obscure and random.

Weekly Updates

Hey everyone! By now I am guessing you have all heard the news that we are expecting our first "little Toman". We thought it would be fun to keep everyone updated on a weekly basis about how everything is going, and something that would be fun for us to have throughout the pregnancy. My goal is to post every Friday (since that is exactly __weeks). I hope you will all enjoy sharing in our pregnancy with us. We are so excited to have all the support and love from everyone. Thanks again!!!

Big News in a Little Body

Brothers and Sisters, Friends and Supporters, God has given us a wonderful gift. This gift is small, and at the moment only is 2 centimeters long, but this little gift will, with God’s grace, grow into a child ready to burst onto the scene of this present world. We were able to go to a local physician who gave us the wonderful news that Amy and Jacob are having a baby!

We have both had much cause for joy and sorrow throughout our relationship. Even through our early marriage we have had ups and downs. Many of you have been with us and shared in our mutual happiness and sadness. We invite you to share in the joy of this wonderful gift of God by praising Him and celebrating His goodness. As Romans 12:15 says “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn”. Praise God for a time of rejoicing!

Of course a baby means we will need all sorts of prayers, both for us to be strong during these next months, (and the rest of our lifetime), and for our unborn child. There are all sorts of wonderful little details that the Lord will no doubt figure out in His own time. Prayer for us during those times when we are trying to figure out those little details is absolutely needed.
