Drumroll Please...

Or at least I should say, the doctor is 90% sure it is! I'm only 15 1/2 weeks along so technically the doctor can't say without a doubt but 90% is good enough for me so we're going with it! I was completely shocked because I just knew in my gut it was a boy! (Secretly I was hoping for a girl) But we're so thrilled beyond words that we are going to have ANOTHER precious little princess. Daddy's heart has already been melted once. Now he's just going to fall apart.

Soon and Very Soon

Heard this song today at church and was totally moved by the lyrics. Apparently it's not even a new song so I can't believe I've never heard it. I encourage you to listen to it and as you do, really focus on the lyrics. It truly is exciting to think that one day soon we will be seeing our Savior face to face. And we will get to be with our best friend who loves us more than all time for eternity. That gives me chills all over my body because what could ever be better than that?!

Flutters in my tummy

It's that time already?! I couldn't believe it the other day when I already felt the tiniest hint of little one moving around in my tummy. I actually had a little bit of a scare when I sat down to rest and all the sudden I had this huge jump on my left side like a kick you would feel more around 7 months along. I have to admit, I still do find that kind of strange and not quite sure what was going on there. But, I have put my worries aside and am enjoying the occasional flutters I feel giving me the reassurance that baby is growing and doing great. I've almost forgot of all the little phases your body goes through and when certain things happen. Especially since I'm not reading about pregnancy all the time like I was with Kinsleigh! We are so thrilled about this little guy or girl inside of me and marvel at God's intricate ways He is knitting them together. This time around, our lives are already so busy with another little one that we often forget to sit down, and take time out to thank God for this next little blessing. (Now I know why they say 2nd children never get quite as much of the attention). It's happening already and they aren't even born yet! But gosh, when I really do sit down and take the time to thank Him for the miracle inside of me, I can't help but think of how lucky I am of something so great. What do doctors know anyway?! I was in fact meant to be a Mommy!!! (12 weeks pic)

I'm a Big Kid Now

Look what got to come out at our house this past week! Our hope is to get this kiddo potty trained before number 2 gets here. So far, things aren't looking too hopeful but we did JUST begin. Basically she is obsessed with it throughout the day. She talks about it all the time and loves to go sit on it with her clothes on. She even wants us to leave the light on in the bathroom so she can go in there whenever she wants. When I saw how excited she was, I thought, "Hey, this is going to be a piece of cake." Until we went ahead and tried to get her to sit on it to really go pee pee. Let's just say she does NOT like sitting on it bare bum. Great! We may have a little ways to go. But you know what, I'm okay with that. She is still so little and I am definitely not in any rush to grow her up and get her into big girl pants. She can take her little time to get comfortable (as long as it's not for a whole year)!
