The Halfway Mark

So I have made it to the half-way mark. On one hand, I cannot believe I am already half-way through, on another, I feel like I;ve been pregnant forever! I guess I have in a way...lol! Anyway, I am cherishing each and every moment with this little guy. I LOVE being pregnant; especially this month and the months to come. I am always amazed at those little kicks and flutters I get to feel and I love having Grady all to myself. He is mine and I don't have to share him with anyone at the moment!

We went for our "big" ultrasound where they measure everything and Grady got a shining report card. We were even told he has a buddah belly (mommy has gotten her appetite back). My due date has been moved up again to May 21st which makes me happy. I'd like to recover at least some before celebrating my soon-to-be three year old's birthday! We are more than pleased and gratefully humbled that the Lord has blessed us with this thriving miracle and that He has allowed us to watch Grady grow. We have had an ultrasound every appointment since week seven. I cannot tell you how fascinating and AMAZING it is to watch your child grow from a kidney bean to a gummy bear and then to what finally resembles a human being. We have truly witnessed the hand of God!

Jackson has also taken a liking to his little brother. He keeps telling us that he is special because he is a big brother and carries and sleeps with his big brother book. He talks to Grady all the time and kisses my belly. He told me the other day that Grady will need blankies and that he will share his night night's with him. This is a very special thing since Jackson's night night blankets are sacred. I can't wait to see his reaction when he can actually feel Grady kick and then finally meet his little brother. Life is truly amazing!

21 weeks pregnant


Scratching his head wondering about this world he's about to enter. If you look closely you can see his little leg curled up. Btw, his profile is an exact match of Jackson's at this time.

Why does it look like you have a strange oddity sticking out of your back?
Other than that, you look FABULOUS!

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
