15 weeks

We had our 15 week appointment with the midwife on Thursday :) We love our midwife Christy sooo much! I can't tell you what a Godsend she is to us.

So the last appointment it was a little too soon to hear the baby's heartbeat but THIS time is came through loud and clear as soon as that doppler thingy hit my tummy!

The coolest part?! While she was poking and prodding on my stomach to get a really clear heartbeat I felt the baby move twice! It was the first time I had felt the baby move, it was such a special moment!

Adom and Greg were there with me and Adom was very curious as to what that noise was. When we told him it was the baby in Mommy's tummy he asked, "when's baby gonna come out?"
I think he's understanding a little bit more and more about the new baby :) He's going to be such a sweet big brother.

We also found out that we get to find out if this baby is a boy or a girl on October 20th! It seems like this pregnancy is going by much faster than Adom's did. I guess having a 3 year old to keep me busy helps.

I'm having to pull the old rubber band trick with my pants right now because maternity clothes are way too big still. But I am showing a lot sooner than I did with Adom!

Maybe... I'll get Greg to snap a picture of me soon... Maybe.

Whats been going on...

Pictures of what we've been doing for the last few months :)

Our good friends Dustin and Jessica had their first baby boy! Hudson Daniel and he is oh so cute!
We went to Adom's cousin Landry's 4th birthday party and had lots of fun and sugar!
Adom got to play with Aunt Peggy's "Mr. Rabbit" which we just found out is actually "Missy Rabbit" haha :)
Adom started at a Mother's Day Out school last week and loves it (and so does momma)!

10 Weeks!

So ya I'm pregnant... I still have a hard time believing it.

I can't believe Adom is going to be a BIG brother (he's my baby!)

I can't believe I'm going to be a mother to TWO children!

And I can't believe how blessed I am to have such a wonderful husband who provides for his family and loves us so much!

Not to mention families that are so amazing, friends (new and old) that are so loving, and a heavenly Father who loves us unconditionally.

Does it get any better than this?!

I've been trying to count my blessings a lot lately, because with pregnancy comes pregnancy hormones... you know the poor me, feel sorry for me, I can't do this, feelings one minute then utter delight the next minute! Ugh, sanity where are you?

So I'm 10 weeks! Haven't been too sick with this one, I have my nauceous moments and have been extremely tired but other than that it's been pretty easy. I'm definitely thinking this pregnancy will go by a lot faster than Adom's did. A lot is going on with us right now...

Chasing a 3 year old keeps me busy enough, then recently I was asked by our Children's Minister at our church here in Fort Worth if I would consider taking over as the Nursery Coordinator. A good friend of mine who was the nursery coordinator is moving to Georgia with her family. So I accepted the offer, it was a total God thing! Plus I'm still doing my transcription work from home in the afternoons or evenings.

So with all this I'm trying to get Adom into a Mother's Day Out program probably one maybe two days a week.

Anyways, theres a little update into our lives at the moment.

Greg and I both are thinking this baby is going to be a girl, Adom thinks so too haha! We keep asking him if mommy has a baby girl or a baby boy in her tummy and he always says , " a baby grill" :)

No names yet, Greg will be naming this baby :)

I'll try to keep you posted on how we're all doing, we are using a midwife with this baby and our first appointment will be the end of this month when we get to hear the heartbeat :)

Adom's 3rd Birthday

Here is a video of Adom's 3rd Birthday party :) Just click on the play button in the middle of the picture to watch the video. I can't believe our baby is already three years old :( It has gone by WAY too fast!

Oh and for those of you that haven't heard we are expecting baby #2 :) Due March 8th!

I will try to get better about updating my blog. This pregnancy has made me extremely tired, so when I'm not chasing Adom around I'm usually trying to grab a nap. I'll keep you posted on how things are going around here.

Josiah and Lydia are Adom's best buddies here in Fort Worth. Sadly, they are moving to Georgia in a few short weeks. We are really going to miss them :(

tractors and family :)

The tractor pictures were taken at my Aunt Peggy's house while Adom and I were spending some time down in Kerrville last time with my mom and her.

My Aunt Derlene was so great to have a family dinner for us while Adom and I were in the area! We loved seeing almost all of my Dad's family :)

More pictures to come...
