Ten Little Toes

We are proud to announce (drum roll please.......) that on April 14th, we are expecting the arrival of our newest family member! That's right, we're going to have a baby!! Although this came as quite a surprise, we are getting excited to meet this little one.

My dad and friend have mentioned to me that we better stop moving because each time we do, we end up adding to our family! Good point!
Right now I am 15 weeks pregnant, and finally feeling better. This has been completely different, as with the other 2, I had no morning sickness at all, craved milk constantly, and smells made me sick. This time around, I have heartburn like no other (thank you prescription Tagament!!!), can't tolerate milk, and haven't felt that great until 2 weeks ago. Amazingly smells haven't bothered me, but I still just lay around in the evenings, feeling guilty for being lazy (but not that guilty), and drinking tons of water to keep the braxton hicks contractions and headaches away--and yes, I need to buy lemons because water isn't tasting that great anymore! ha

As many of you knew, we were going back and forth with "my plate is full--no more kids" to "oh, there are so many kids that need a mom and dad so lets adopt". We were starting to go down the adoption process, but God has told me that His plans aren't always mine, so I'm going to trust Him on this one!

We really feel blessed that God chose us to be parents again, and are praying for a healthy, happy, Fruit of the Spirit baby. And, yes, this time we are going to find out what we're having. Chad has wanted to know with the other 2 and we didn't, so now it's his turn :)

Savannah prays daily to be a good big sister, and that the baby is healthy and Mommy feels good, and can't wait to get up at night to help feed! We'll just encourage her to enjoy being a kid, but I'll take the help during the day :)

Jackson is trying to figure out what's going on and keeps drawing pictures of me, saying, "Mommy you're big". Thanks Jax. :) He also says his baby tummy is getting big....

Well, hopefully now that my energy is coming back (I think), I'll get on the ball with updates....
