Ashley is now 25 weeks & 2 days pregnant! She has been on bed rest for around 3 weeks now. At 22 weeks she started having contractions (way too early for that). So, the doc has her laid up. Laying around is one of Ash's favorite "hobbies". Or so she thought. She definitely has developed cabin fever. But it has been good for her to rest during the day, because she sure hasn't rested well at night. A doubly pregnant women requires an act of God to roll over in the bed.
We are so pumped and are doing all we can to prepare for Aidan & Leah's arrival. Their room is almost ready. Yep, their going to have to share one for a while. Church planters don't do mansions. And we weren't expecting a double dose of kid. We've had two baby showers so far. We weren't able to be at either. Not physically anyway. Thanks to Dustin Wilson we attended one shower virtually. It was so cool. Through the magic of iChat we got to see and speak to tons of friends in SC and watch our mom's open all the cool gifts. Thanks to everyone who has been so generous. These kids already have so much crap! It's crazy.
We need to keep these "buns in the oven" for a least a couple more months. So, we have to remain patient. God continues to blow our minds with all he is doing. We are on a crazy journey. Lift us up!

WOW!! Just heard about the twins from Heath's blog. Congratulations! My best to Ashley while she is on bedrest. I pray she finds many new hobbies to get her through!

Glad you enjoyed the shower. It was a lot of fun. We will hopefully see ya'll soon. We are praying for everything to go well.
Sorry though about the Clemson game. Just got done watching it. It messed up my bracket.
Hey Matt and Ashley,
Scott and I are thinking of you guys. I'm sorry to hear you're "laid up", but I know and have experienced as well, it is for the good.
We'd love to provide dinner for you guys soon, so let us know when is convenient for you.
In the meantime, we're looking forward to worshiping with you guys soon.
Take care and stay in touch.
Scott, Jen, Shelby & Kelley
