5 'P's in a Pod: 7 month update (on the whole family)

The month of June 2010 has been a roller coaster of a ride for the whole Plumlee family here in TX! Each of us has battled some kind of sickness or another. Spencer and Seth are back 100% but as for me, I am still working on it. I think all the antiobiotics I was on has given me a stomach ulcer that makes me nauseous...this has been going on for about 2 weeks now (not pregnant!). So hopefully I can get in to see a stomach specialist this week. As for the kidney stone edpisode, we are still waiting on test results to see if it was just an overload on calcium from prenatal vitamins or something else. So please pray that it is just from the prenatals....the specialist mentioned that it could be something else a bit more serious, but he doesn't think so. Our parents have been such a huge blessing to us this month by helping us with Seth and letting me rest.

On a happier note, Southcliff--where Spencer works has completely revamped their vision, mission and staff. What does this mean for us?! Well Spencer has been promoted from college pastor to Grow Pastor. This means that he will be over the discipleship for the entire church! This move for us is bittersweet. While he will still be teaching the college students on Sunday morning- our friend Rob Blodgett (our next door neighbor) and his wife Melinda will be taking over the ministry. We are so excited about all the other changes in the life of our church---its going to be exciting to see what God has in store for the future! So please pray for our family as we make this transition!

Also this morning was Seth's first morning in his new class---he was promoted to a new room--he's growing much too fast! He has a dr. appt this Friday to recheck his ears 4 weeks after his initial ear infection. We are hoping there is no fluid in his ears. Last week while I was playing with Seth and he opened his mouth to laugh I noticed something....A TOOTH! Well the top of a tooth. So it is official, he cut his first tooth at 7 months. Its just through the surface but not in completely. He's drooling like crazy and running a really low grade fever (which is normal), but luckily he hasn't been all that fussy. He is not crawling yet, but we are certain that he will very soon, hopefully before we leave for Memphis in August. He can rock back and forth on all fours, but doesn't crawl. We are also curious as to what his weight is now, Im guessing close to 20lbs! Here are some recent pictures of our 7 month little boy and his adventures plus a video at the end!
