Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails.......

That's what little boys are made of.. It's a BOY!!! Lexie is going to have a little brother! We are really excited! Of course we would be excited either way! Our sonogram this morning was wonderful. We saw about our baby for about 30 minutes. We saw his bladder, kidneys, brain, nose, fingers, toes, heart, and of course the important boy parts. It is amazing to be able to see all of this. You really realize how much of a miracle a baby is. God is Good! What I really found amazing was he was so active and yet I couldn't feel any of it. At one point he stretched his legs straight out. I wish I could see him every day. We have a DVD of the sonogram and I am going to try to see if I can upload it to the blog (if anyone knows how to do this, let me know).

Thank you to everyone who voted. 43% of you were right.

Happy Anniversary!

6 years ago today Simon and I stood in front of the minister next to the lake at the camp where we met and SWEATED LIKE PIGS!!!! Oh, and we got married too. We apologize again to everyone for the extreme heat and humidity. It was a very special day. I have enjoyed every minute of the last 6 years together. I am really looking forward to the next year and many years after that!

Thanks to everyone who has voted on our poll. If you haven't, be sure to do so.

16 weeks and counting

Pregnancy is going good. I am feeling great! My belly is getting a little bit bigger below my belly button. Trying to find some pants that fit and are comfortable is getting harder. Next week I have an appointment for an ultrasound. This should be the one where we can see the sex of the baby! If you look to the side of the blog you see there is a poll. We want to know what you think we are having. I don't have any "feeling" as to what the baby is. We will be happy either way. Pink or Blue. Our appointment is on August 26 at 9am. I hope to update the blog that night or the next day with the results.

Prayer Request

Please pray for my friends Chad and Holly. Holly was 27 weeks pregnant when she had to go into the hospital for an emergency c-section last week. Unfortunately Baby Matthew did not survive. As you can imagine they are devastated. They had a very hard time getting pregnant and went to the same fertility clinic we did. After the delivery Holly developed an infection and had to stay in the hospital a couple days longer than expected. She is home now and will have a long physical and emotional recovery. Please keep them in your prayers.
