New News:)

So i will try to update our most exciting news over the past 4 months:) For those who haven't heard...we are expecting baby #2 in September! We couldnt be more excited! Brody and his little brother or sister will be 2 years and around 10 months apart. We find out in 2 weeks whether it is a boy or girl....i cant wait!! I have been so much sicker this time that i was with brody. I THOUGHT i was pretty sick with brody, but i had no clue what sick was until i got to this pregnancy. i started having "morning sickness" (which we all know is not just in the morning:) around 5 weeks and im still sick. thankfully its gotten a little bit better in the past week. I have been the sickest at night...pretty much throwing up every night before i go to bed...no fun! BUT i know its for a good reason and seriously could not be more thankful to be sick!

People keep asking me...or assuming...i want a girl. But honestly i dont care AT ALL! there are so many reasons i would LOVE another boy! ive always pictured myself with boys in my little family. BUT....of course a girl would different and very exciting! SOOOo all that to say...if someone let me somehow choose what i would have, i honestly dont think i could choose! So i will leave that to the Lord...and i cant wait to see what he has chosen!

Brody has said some really cute things about the baby....i feel like he understands as well as a 2 year old can:) The first time we talked to him about us having another baby, brian asked him if he wanted me to have another baby. Brody acted like we were going to trade him in!! he said.."NO! Have Brody!" we of course explained to him that we would be keeping him too:)
He also asked me one day when he could hold the baby and i told him it was going to be a while before the baby would come out of mommy's belly. He bent down real close to my belly (talking to the baby) and said "come out now, baby!"


I have had so many ultrasounds this pregnancy...its been so nice! I love how my doctors keep such a close eye on me since i had a miscarriage before brody. This particular picture was taken at the Pregnancy support services of wake forest. Our church is very involved in supporting this organization, so I volunteered to have an ultrasound done because they needed to train their staff. It was seriously amazing! i got to sit and watch the baby moving around for 45 minutes while they were training! at the doctors office they look at the baby for maybe 1 minute to make sure everything looks ok. so this was definitely a treat! i was AMAZED at a 11 week old baby moving around like crazy and showing his arms, legs, and fingers! its crazy to me that at 11 weeks some people dont really even know they are pregnant but there is a fully developed baby living inside of them! i was again reminded of how precious these little lives are, and alot of the women that come into this facility are contemplating abortion when they are way farther along that just 11 weeks! and look at how precious that picture is! i just cant imagine! . All that to say, watching my baby move around for 45 min was amazing! i was so thankful for that opportunity!

Well i will be sure to blog when we find out what we are having!
