Mommy-to-be & Baby Update!
Baby Warren ~ Week Ten
Baby is now a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, he or she has now completed the most critical portion of his development. (Yay!!) This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature.
Baby is swallowing fluid and kicking up a storm. Vital organs — including his kidneys, intestines, brain, and liver (now making red blood cells in place of the disappearing yolk sac) — are in place and starting to function, though they'll continue to develop throughout the pregnancy.
If you could take a peek inside my womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.
In other developments: Baby's limbs can bend now. His hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. The outline of his spine is clearly visible through translucent skin, and spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from his spinal cord. Your baby's forehead temporarily bulges with his developing brain and sits very high on his head, which measures half the length of his body. From crown to rump, he's about 1 1/4 inches long. In the coming weeks, baby will again double in size — to nearly 3 inches.
Many people have been asking how my diet has changed & what baby likes ~ so here's an update!
Mommy's New Favorite Foods:
- Baby vine ripened tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots with a little bit of fat free salad dressing
- Monster cookies :)
- Raisins
- Strawberries
- Chick-fil-a
- Scrambled Eggs (Maybe not a fav ~ a necessity)
Recent Food Aversions & NoNo's for Nausea ~
- Peanut Butter Sandwiches
- Chicken or meat on its own (not mixed in like a casserole)
- Candy or anything with sugar as its main ingredient (other than M&M's in small quantities)
- Boca Burgers
- Salsa
- String Cheese Mozzarella Sticks

Oh, Baby!: Yep, We're Gonna Have a Baby!
The Lord surprised us with a little one growing in my belly! About six weeks ago, I was feeling a little on the funny side, so I asked Jon if I could take a pregnancy test just to calm my mind (I thought I was making up symptoms & he thought there was no way I could be pregnant!)~ and SURPRISE ~ two tests with faint lines & three more positive pregnancy tests later ~ we realized it was true! We were overwhelmed, excited and very surprised!
We saw our tiny baby for the first time last week at almost 8 weeks. Baby was 1.5 cm long with a strong & fast heart beat! Here is a little preview of baby's first picture!
So, our little blessing is now nine weeks ~ and growing fast ~ as big as a grape! I am due on October 7th! We will keep you updated as Lil' Baby Warren continues to grow!

Shaklee: Product of the Week :)
We thought it might be fun to pick a product to feature for the week. This week is our Get Clean Basic H2 Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate. It can be used for almost all household cleaning jobs. We mixed ours up & gave it a trial run a few weeks ago. You use just a drop or two & mix it with water ~ to create a degreaser, window cleaner and all-purpose cleaner. We love it ~ We love knowing its healthy ~ no toxins, no smells, and it gets your home just as clean as the regular household cleaners for much less of the cost that we would pay out for Windex, 409, Lysol bathroom cleansers and more!
You can watch the video below where Oprah explains how easy it is to mix it up & use it ~ as well as some health benefits too!
Because of Shaklee's Basic-H formula, we now have organic cleansers for furniture, windows, mirrors, floors, and basically anything else in the home I might want to clean! The best part is that a 16 oz. bottle of the concentrated cleaner that creates 48 gallons of organic, non-toxic cleansers can be yours for only $12.15! (If you become a member - its only $10) You do the math. Shaklee's Basic-H is an affordable way to provide those we love with a home that is more organic and chemical-free, for a mere $0.25 a gallon!

An Update on Us....
Well, There has been a lot going on around the Warren household lately. I've been slacking on my blogging because of all of it.
We had a wonderful Christmas break & enjoyed the blessing of spending some quality time together. What a blessing ~ since we literally hadn't spend a non-sick day together in over 22 weeks.
We were informed right before Christmas break that Jon was going to be laid off from his job at Brazos Valley Flight, so we are currently job seeking for him. We know that the Lord is in the midst of this ~ and know he will provide for us! We are thankful we trust in a sovereign and wise God who knows exactly what we need to to be becoming more like him & to give Him the most honor & glory in the midst.
I went back to work in early January & have enjoyed much more jumping back into teaching knowing what to expect and what not to expect ~ and by the grace of the Lord having a better attitude toward it. I have also had two more challenging students move away, which in some ways has been a blessing as well.
We are grateful for what the Lord has provided for us ~ which is lots ~ not just physically but all that we need spiritually too. We are also grateful for a long Valentine's Weekend ~ Thank you President's Day!

Teaching Stories
After seventeen weeks teaching, I have some really good stories! Almost everyday I come home with at least one hilarious thing one of my forty students has said or done. Here are some of my favorites:
- We've been having lots of trouble with the bathroom. I had a student need to go to the bathroom, and asked me if he could. I told him, "You need to wait until the girl gets back from the restroom then you can go. He replied, " But, I'm a boy!!"
- One of my students asked me why Jon & I didn't have children yet. She told me she didn't understand why we were married & didn't have any babies. She pleaded with me to have a baby. Two days later, I was standing at the door telling them goodbye. She gave me a big hug & said "Bye, Mrs. Warren!". Then, I see her little hand reach out and touch my belly, she said " Bye Baby".
- I caught one of my students sucking their thumb, and called her name then gave her a signal to get it out of her mouth. She raised her hand, and I called on her. She said, "Mrs. Warren, the I suck my thumb cuz when I was little all I had to do was suck my thumb and rub my belly button. It make everything better, and it still do."
- One afternoon, my phone rang & I just let it ring while I was teaching. One of my students stood up out of his seat & said, "I get it. (pretending to answer my phone) 'Hellur, This Ms. Warren'"
- One of my students explaining why he & his brother fight, "Well, you see, I have alot of violence in me"
