It's a Girl!

I know I have been negligent in updating you all. We found out last week that our precious baby is a girl. She weighed in at 8 ounces so she is right on target. It is hard to believe we are halfway through this pregnancy. God be praised for this incredible gift!

I would post another ultrasound picture but they are downstairs and you all will forgive me for not hauling myself down there since well, I am pregnant and all. ;)

The day we found out the baby's gender, Peter and I wanted to be creative in how we told the kids. On the way home we purchased each child a pink heart balloons, strawberry milk and pink frosted donut (okay, we got a dozen of those). The kids loved the surprise and everyone is excited to meet this sweet baby girl. I look forward to when Peter and the children will be able to feel her move. It has been amazing to feel her little feet kicking every once in a while.

Goodnight all!

Amazed.

It has been nearly 16 years since our journey began. June 1st marks our anniversary, the following October marks our "when we started trying," and now, at 9 weeks...now marks our "stand amazed."

Baby.

Joy.

They are sleeping...

My big boys fell asleep way too late into the afternoon today. Daniel falling asleep at 3:30, is still asleep at almost 6. John fell asleep at 5. Oh boy! They have been sick with a bad cold and we have yet to venture out since my cousins wedding. Okay, we took one big trip to Sam's Club but we gotta eat! That's been it since December 31. I am so ready to get out of the house. We have errands planned for tomorrow. Dare I try to wake the boys since they have not been feeling well? No, I will let them sleep a little longer, wake up naturally and then stay up with Moma late into the night. Peter is at work and night's like what is coming always produce sweet memories. Have a good night. I know I will.

All I want for Christmas...

I was going through my phone videos and found this one of John. I thought it was a good way to kick off the Christmas countdown. Just for the record I am the "mean Moma" stating that I didn't think he would get that for Christmas! This video is from last year. He had justed turned five...iPod!?!?

My boys

When I went to bed last night, this is what I found already occupying the space. My precious little boys. 2 and 5. I am so blessed to be their Moma.
