Thompsons in Georgia update

Family and friends,

I am sending out my once in a while update. Life is setting down a bit.
We are in to some what of a routine. My only thing is now I am extremely
exhausted most of the day. You know how that happens those last couple
months of pregnancy. Your brain is telling you all the things you should
be able to accomplish but your body is just not on the same page. It is
funny. I am getting more and more excited for the baby to come and can't
wait to have my body back also. I am enjoying teaching the Young Women.
They are just so loving and fun. The Lord knew I needed this calling. I
love teaching the lessons except for the problem that as soon as I get
started my face is red and sweating and I am short of breath(this of
course is due to being pregnant). I come home after church very wet from
sweat. My sweat glads are very active.

Naomi is getting better at reading and enjoys every chance she gets to
read to somebody. She is also looking forward to loosing her second tooth
and her molars are coming in. She is just growing so fast and is such a
sweet girl.

Rachel has such an imagination and it is hard to get her to do anything
right away because she is so easily distracted by things and then she
just gets playing. It makes me laugh how much she reminds me of my sister
Heidi. They are a lot alike in personality. I enjoy having her home
during the days it has given us an opportunity to bond and get to know
one another.

Ethan is growing and gaining weight finally. We went for our second
doctor appoint with the Gastroeneologist and he was amazed at how much
weight he has gained(He is finally on the growth charts in his weight)
and that he did it with out the appetite stimulant(Yepee! We contribute
most of his success to the fasting and blessing he received). He is still
growing the same on his height so he is still below the growth curve but
the Hormone specialist said not to worry he will probably make up for
this when he hits puberty. We are finally done seeing the specialist and
know that Ethan just needs a lot of extra fats and calories right now.
What a blessing to finally have a resolution.

Aaron is working and looking at the yard and getting very antz to get it
done. The hard thing is getting it done correctly. He still does not have
a calling but have heard that one is in the works.

We have been camping and picnicking and it has been fun, relaxing and
enjoyable. I love the cool temperature of the fall.We love you all and
hope this wasn't to long.

Love,
Bethany
