So Thankful

We have had a nice Thanksgiving Day! So often, I stress about things that seem so big at the time, and I really try to remind myself daily of all the blessings God has given me and my family. I worry about my kids, I am a major worrier when it comes to them and their health. I too often think about what I would do if one of them got sick..really sick. I have to remind my self I am NOT in control, and God only gives us what he knows we can handle. We stress about money, and always need "more". But seriously, I (we) have SO much to be thankful for, much more than some. I am thankful for my hubby who loves me... even when I am a grouch, that he HAS a job, and and I can stay home and take care of our little blessings. I am thankful for my church, and such godly, christian friends. I am thankful for such a big, loving family. I am thankful for my health, and this precious little one who will be here before we know it. I am thankful for my babies, who aren't really babies anymore. I am SO thankful that God allowed me to be a Mommy, it's the best job in the world.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's a...........

We got home from the doctor a little while ago, and we are very excited, and I am very surprised, IT"S A GIRL!!!!!
Weston was very sad, so it was hard to get excited when she said "it is a girl for sure"! Honestly, I really thought it was a boy, I don't know why, but I really did. I'm sure Weston will come around, but I felt so sorry for him. Gracie was clueless, but she would be fine either way. She just LOVES babies! Mom is coming over in a few minuted so I can take Weston to Target. Maybe if I let him pick something out for the baby, he'll be a little happier. Poor thing! Love that kid!!
I'll try to scan the ultrasound pic later! Have a great weekend!

short but SWEET

Just a quick post.......got the results from the (lost) bloodwork....NEGATIVE!!!!WOO HOO!! Thank the Lord I do not have a blood clotting problem, and thank goodness I don't have to have shots of heparin in my stomach twice a day....PRAISE GOD!! We go Friday for an ultrasound...boy or girl? Can't wait 'til friday! And me and Gracie are going to eat lunch with Weston, checking him our early, and they are going with us to the doctor. Did I say I cant wait 'til Friday?!

baby update and pics of kiddos

WELL......... yesterday was a crazy doctors appointment!! I am now 18 weeks, and I will have an ultrasound on the 20th to see if this baby is a boy or a girl!! YAY! But...they had to re-do some of the bloodwork (for blood clotting disorders) because some of it was lost on the way to the lab. My doctor also recommended getting Progesterone shots weekly to hopefully prevent another early delivery. So, every week I have to go and get a BIG shot in my hiney!! YUCK!! I hate shots!! But I will do whatever I need to do to keep from having another premature delivery, and teeny tiny baby. (Weston 4lbs 14 oz, Gracie 3lbs 13 oz) So that is the scoop on me and the baby.

Gracie had her last soccer game Wednesday and they got little medals and a Munchkin Madness Tshirt. She ran more at this last game than she ever has! It was sooo cute.

Here are a few pics from Soccer and Weston practicing Basketball at home. Have a great weekend!

Fall Fun

We had a great Halloween weekend. Friday night was our Fall Festival at church, but I only took 1 picture, and Saturday night we went Trick or Treating in Jennifer's neighborhood. The kids had a blast!

Tomorrow I go back to the doctor. I found out last week that all the bloodwork that I thought came back good... well some of it was actually LOST!!! Yes...LOST!! They have put a trace on it but somewhere on the way to the lab, it was lost. Soooooo, I may have to have some of the bloodwork again. YUCK!!! I will find out tomorrow. I will hopefully schedule an ultrasound in the next few weeks to see if this little one is s boy or girl!!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend!
