Amy and I went in for our first real doctor appointment. Okay she went in I tagged along, but either way it was exciting. Carol is our CNM, Certified Nurse Midwife. She is totally cool, and very helpful with all of our questions.
We tried to hear the baby's heart beat, but we couldn't locate it. Which, according to Carol, is not that unusal for the 10th week of pregnancy. The step after that is to locate the baby through ultrasound to see the heart beat. We got to see the baby's heart punding away like a machine. It was amazing!
Okay on to other news, we are starting the baby registration process at Babies-R-Us. So when the time comes you can llok there to see what we may need.
Thank you to everyone who has filled out the name survey. Get your friends to do it. I am having fun keeping score. Currently, Hunter Lee Joel is the Boy leader and Sierra Danielle Joel is the Girl leader.
Well I am looking for a full time job that can afford to pay me benefits. I would like it to be in the bay area so I can still work part time at my church. I have had a couple leads. So please keep praying for a swift resoultion to this need.
Thanks for keepin up with the Joels!

The latest news
Tonight is the Olympics opening ceremony, and some youth are coming over to watch them.
The last two days, Pastor Bruce(my boss) and I were at the Willow Creek Leadership Summit. I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed all the speakers and learned a ton. I hope that what I learned can be put into practice during this time of change.
Speaking of this time of change. I am now in negotiations with my church to go part-time, so I can find a full-time job that can afford to provide benefits. So if you know of anything let me know.
Well talk to you more later

Baby News
Well I just thought I would let you know some of what is going on with the baby.
First thing Amy’s blood test came back and she is a carrier of Cystic Fibrosis. That’s not that bad 1 out of 30 Caucasians carry the disease. Both parents must carry it for the child to get the disease. My blood was taken yesterday, and we should know in 2 weeks if I am a carrier. It should be rare for me since my heritage types don’t usually carry it.
Amy is well into her first trimester and morning sickness has hit pretty hard. I feel bad for her, but not much I can do.
Oh yeah, go to our website. http://www.thejoels.info/ and click the baby names button. Then please fill out the survey. Thanks.
Keep checking here for the results.
