The Baby Countdown Begins!!!

Here we go! The countdown begins (even though I have some catching up to do!) I've had a nice long break from blogging- I'm terrible at keeping secrets, so I just had to go into stealth mode for a while! 

November 21st: I almost passed out in my bathroom! And no I did not pee on 2 sticks, I pee'd on 8! After 5 yrs of waiting & praying our second miracle was happening right before us. The Friday before I took this test Jason & I had a long talk about how we were going to try for 1 more year & then call it quits, little did we know God had better plans!!! 

Since I found out soo early that I was pregnant waiting for that 6 weeks ultrasound was a killer! Patience is not my best quality! In the mean time we were able switch doctors. I am SOOO blessed to now have one of the best OB's ever & she is such a great friend as well. I have so much peace just knowing that we are in great care!

FINALLY: December 3

Yes, that is my little piece of rice! I laid on the table with tears flowing. I could not believe it was real, We are having another baby!!! (But we weren't telling until Christmas!) It has always been a dream of mine to share this news on Christmas & God cares about all things :) Not only is He blessing us with a baby, but He gave it to me at a perfect time. All along I have said I would love to have another baby when Karly starts school. Baby is due in July and Karly starts KG in August!! hahaaa. God's timing is SO perfect!

December 18- 8 weeks

Simply because my doctor is the best. She let me come in for an extra ultrasound before we shared the news, just to put my mind at ease and make sure baby growing perfect!

Late on Christmas Eve Santa delivered a GIGANTIC box address to Karly & Noelle. They opened it to find tons of balloons such as...

Noelle's eyes popped out of her head, I sat with Karly to explain what this meant & she put on her BIG SISTER shirt immediately (I am still fighting to get it off of her!), my mom squealed, my dad laughed, & My sisters... well, they suspected, my nieces had already called it-- they know me WAY too well!

10 weeks

Hard to get a good picture, we have a mover on our hands or should I say in my belly! LOL. Had a bit of a scare at this visit. Went to hear the heart beat & could not find it- of course my mind went into panic mode- but don't worry. All is well in baby's world. I could sit all day & watch that little heartbeat flicking away on the ultrasound. Seeing its little nose & facial profile, arms waving, moving all around-- what a little miracle. I cannot put into words how miraculous God is & how blessed I feel.
