In the past two months . . .

We have moved, been taking care of a fussy little Levi, getting ready for Christmas and a new baby, as well as all the normal stuff we do at church. We have been a little busy.

We did not close on our new home on November 17th like I said in my last post. We ended up closing on our new house on November 24th (yes two days before Thanksgiving). So we are all moved into our new home. We are still unpacking and we will probably be unpacking for a while. But, we do love this new house. It has everything we were looking for and it definitely already feels like home even though there are still boxes everywhere. We are still waiting to close on our old house. So you can pray that all that gets taken care of before Jonah's arrival.

So speaking of Jonah, we are going to be having a new baby in eight days. Yes, you read that right, eight days. I cannot believe it. I am so ready to not be pregnant anymore and to hold my new little baby, but I am anxious as well. I am sure everyone feels that way with the arrival of their second child. How do you take care of two little ones at once? I know that I will figure it out and God has proven in my life over and over again that He will always give me the strength I need.

I am sure you are wondering how Levi is taking all this. He has had a rough last couple of months. He has been very agitated and I have spent a lot of time just sitting and holding him and trying to keep him happy. He has come down with a cold of some kind now. His little nose just keeps running, but he seems to be much happier now that his nose is running. Steven and I are finally getting to sleep at night and this makes both of us much happier.

We will be celebrating Levi's third birthday next week. We cannot believe he is going to turn three. I think time moves in twice as fast once you become a parent. We are collecting toys for Levi's Toy Drive for OU Children's Hospital again this year. We will be collecting toys until this Sunday the 20th. If you would be interested in donating a toy or two you can email me at cindy.bergren@gmail.com.

Please continue praying for our family. Pray that Levi stays content and happy and doesn't become agitated and start keeping everyone awake again. Pray that Jonah's birth goes well and that he is healthy. Pray that I heal from the c-section easily and quickly. Pray for Steven as he will be the one taking care of all three of us while I heal from the surgery. Pray that we will be able to close on the sale of our old house before Jonah arrives and that it all goes smoothly.

We appreciate all of you and the way you have prayed for us and loved on us over these past few years.
