Oops!

I have totally been a slacker in the blogging area, and I am so sorry!
Maverick is now 14 oz...almost a whole pound! He is moving all the time and I am loving it. I cannot wait to hold my precious baby boy. I am over 1/2 there now!!! That is so hard to believe though. This first 1/2 flew by. It seems like I literally just found out we were going to be parents.

Lots has happened around the Stiles residence since last post. We put in an offer on a house and it was accepted! So we have been singing a million papers, and gathering our life history. We are now just waiting to hear back on when we can start inspections. It's such an exciting time in our lives right now! God is so good and I am seeing more and more every day that His timing is perfect. In the last 6 months, we found out I am pregnant, Brian was blessed with a job, and now we are almost homeowners. Everything we have prayed for and all in the perfect order from God.

We also have a cruise planned for the end of this month! We leave a week from Saturday and couldn't be more ready! It was a huge fiasco at first, but it all worked out. Carnival has a dumb rule that expectant mothers cannot be more than 24 completed weeks in their pregnancy, the day they get OFF the ship. We would have been getting off the 11th, which was the very day I turned 25 weeks. Carnival would not accept that, so we had to spend more money, move the cruise, get a letter from my dr saying I am fit for travel, and then we were good to go. I was so upset but it all ended up working out and we will be gone for my bday so that's exciting!!! We need this time as we close in on our last days as just Brian and Jamie. Come March, we will be Brian, Jamie, and Maverick! Don't get me wrong, we cannot wait. We just want to cherish this time together because we will never be at this point in our lives again.

Can't wait to meet our sweet Maverick Paul!!!
