We are having a ???????

Girl!!!!

We went to the doctor this morning and he said it 100% a little girl! Phil and I are so excited! We tried to tell Carson about the news and he just wanted his Easter candy. I guess he will catch on soon enough. He said that she (so excited to now know and caller it a "she") looks great and weighs in at about 13 ounces. I have been feeling her move a little bit since Sunday. It is so wonderful to know that she is healthy! Please just continue to pray that she developes and grows perfectly. Thank you all for your votes! It looks like the majority were right! Let the planning and decorating begin!

These two outfits are her first gift from my sweet friend Amanda. How cute!!!

Vote Today & Find Out Tomorrow!

Well, it is hard to believe that we find out what we are having tomorrow! Phil and I are so excited to know boy or girl! We don't care what we have as long as it is healthy. I have been so bad at blogging lately! I have been meaning to put up a poll for a while and then forgot about it. My friend reminded me today and so I have added a poll for people to vote on what you think we are having. I know there isn't much time since I will be posting tomorrow night about what it is. Anyway, hope you can give your vote! I promise to post what the doctor says tomorrow!

A Blessing

Wednesday our church had the privilege to have a Awesome band perform a concert. The band is called the Annie Moses Band. They were such a blessing to everyone including Phil and I. I just thought I would share them with y'all. We have been listening to their songs everyday since then. You can go to their website www.anniemosesband.com and listen to their songs. We are hoping to take some friends and family to see them in concert again sometime soon. They are also on itunes. They are a family that play all different instruments and are all Julliard trained. Their songs are wonderful but listening to them over the Internet pales in comparison to seeing them in person. Enjoy!

Week 16 Update

Well, I am almost 17 weeks and can't believe how fast time is flying! The baby is about the size of your open hand. I haven't felt it move yet, but am looking forward to that in the next few weeks. We find out what we are having on the 25th and can't wait to find out! There is so much to do, but we are just waiting until we know what the Lord has blessed us with. I am so glad to be feeling better and to have most of my energy back. I know Phil and Carson are glad also! Here is a picture of my ever growing belly at 15 weeks. I am also growing in lots of other places as well. It should be interesting this summer having to get into a bathing suit. AHHHHHH!!!!! I was lucky with Carson and didn't have to, but there is no getting through this summer without it. Anyway, we will post when we find out what were are having. More than anything we just want a a healthy baby! Thank you all for your prayers!

Morning Routine

Here is a cute video of Carson the other morning. When I was getting reaady I noticed he was getting out several of Phil's things and using them. I thought it was priceless and wanted to share it. I also got a kick out of the video because at the end I asked him who his buddy was, expecting him to say his daddy and he said "Carter". Carter is 3 and Carson thinks he is so cool! Enjoy! Oh, you will probably want to scroll down to the bottom of my blog and pause the music player first, so you can hear the video without the music also.

The Prayers of a Mother

As many of you know, we mothers spent lots of our time praying for our children. It is so wonderful that we have a God who cares about the big things in our lives and also the small things! I thought I would share two things that I have been praying for. I love being pregnant, but pregnancy doesn't love me (at least in the beginning). I am now 16 weeks and am happy to say that the Lord has answered my prayers for the morning sickness to go away. I am not 100 %, but way better than before. So, thank you Lord for being so faithful to see me through those 15 weeks of sickness! And thank you to all my family and friends that had to put up with me also. The second prayer I have said recently will seem silly to most, but is a big one in our house. Carson is now 21 months old and still takes his paci to sleep. Phil and I have been praying for the Lord to help Carson when the time came to take it away. Yesterday when I picked him up from mothers day out they said they had lost his paci and were trying to find it when they realized he had gone to sleep without it!!!!! Shocker! This has never happened before. So, I thought well we will just roll with this and not let him have it anymore. Praise the Lord Carson only cried for 10 or 15 minutes before going to sleep and didn't wake up all night! We are so excited and are so thankful the Lord has answered our prayers again! We are paci free!!!!!!! So, keep up all your wonderful prayers. We do serve a Lord who listens and answers prayers!

Our First Look

Here is our first look at our sweet baby #2. I haven't blogged in forever and hope to be better in the coming months. This precious baby has been keeping me busy with sickness. I am almost 13 weeks and hope things will be better soon! So, here are our first pictures of our little baby. It was so wonderful getting to see it and see the heart beating. I know this is my second time to do this, but it still amazes me how awesome God is. During the sonogram the baby was moving all over the place and making punching moves. This sonogram was taken almost 3 weeks ago. I go back in 1 1/2 weeks and hopefully will get to hear the heart beat then. My pregnancy tracker says the baby is the size of a plum right now. Crazy to think that at Christmas it was the size of a grain of rice and now a plum. They grow so fast at the beginning.

I am also putting a picture of my fastly growing belly. Crazy how it just seems to pop right out there with the second. I don't remember showing much with Carson till 5 months, but that definitely isn't the case this time. So, here I am at 12 weeks.
