baby prayers...

In the morning the daycare teachers usually pray with the kids before they go out and play and start their day at school. Today one of the first grade girls prayed for me. She said, "Jesus bless Mrs. Mason and the baby that's kinda big in her belly."

belly hugs

so this afternoon i was at taylors house. i was sitting on the couch and then taylor climbed on top of me so that she could sit with baby luke. she sat so that she was facing my belly. i asked her if she wanted to see baby luke. she said yes so i lifted up my shirt so that she could see the big belly baby.... then she lifted up her shirt and she squeezed her little belly onto mine and she gave it hugs and kisses. she kept rubbing her little belly next to mine....

so much but so little blogs

i have to admit-- i have been terrible about blogging lately. There is so much that has happened and so many thoughts run through my mind, but i fail to get them onto here...

1. it was taylors 2nd bday on the 14th! we had a little family dinner at their house and then on that following saturday there was a big birthday party.

2. my band played at the 777 Church in San Bernardino. I posted a pic earlier that we took there. It was so much fun! I've really enjoyed the new music we have been learning lately- a lot of Hillsong United and the music totally moves me and ministers to me...

3. On Easter Sunday we went to our church-CCPV for an outdoor Easter Service. Being abotu 30 weeks pregnant now-- i couldnt sit through the service. i had to get up and i stood at the back the remainder of the service. Then, we went to my favorite place--the beach! Rossy, Jino and Taylor joined us. We were all stoked to go to our favorite place to eat in Sunset Beach-Taco Surf- only to find that they actually had observed the day and were closed! but we did make our way into Harbor House for some burgers. Then we checked out the surf on Anderson Street andthe guys decided to surf there. Rossy, Taylor and I sat and enjoyed the hot sun and beach! and again another belly shot was taken- but this time of Taylor kissing baby Luke. She LOVES Baby Cousin Luke- it's soooooo cute! She always wants to see him- which means i have to lift up my shirt so that she can see him in my belly!

Anyhow... that's me in the last few weeks. I am officially 31 weeks preggers and i totally feel like my belly is growing by the day now! Im back to being tired and going to the bathroom almost 4times at night- therefore not sleeping well. I am also finding it very difficult to sit in a car and let alone drive it-- i get so short of breath driving and i feel like i'm trapped! oy! pray for me! =) Other than that- Baby Luke ahs been moving TONS! jabbing me everywhere! it's cute and weird at the same time. Sometimes that jabs are so strong that it causes me to scream out an "ah!" Can't wait till he comes out. This Friday i'm off to the doctors again. i'm down to visiting th dr. every 2 weeks now! oh ya-- and i finally registered with BabiesRUs and at Target but you have to use my first name! at BabiesRUs- it's Arleen Mason but at Target it's Arleen Katie Mason..... just incase you feel like making a purchase! hee hee

Tony, Baby Luke and I just came back from an exhausting yet fun trip to North Carolina. Tony's best man- Joe married Kayla at the Biltmore Estate. It was a beatuiful wedding. Mind you- the trip out was so exhausting!- No more red-eye flights!

The Node part 3 w/ PW

Saturday the 16th of Feb -my band PW played at the Node again. This night was different becuse we didnt play as a whole band but we all had the opportunity to share a song or two on our own! Scotty found me this awesome song by Hillsong United called "None but Jesus" that I shared (with baby). I also shared another song written by an old friends old band!
