Pictures Say a Thousand Words

Ok well, this picture has words, but the looks on their faces pretty much say it all!!

Come the end of May we'll be a party of 5! It's been a long hard road full of disappointments, tears, prayers, fasting, doctor appointments, medications, diet changes, running and nasty herbs, but we couldn't be more excited for a healthy, growing baby with a strong heartbeat. We've been hesitant to share our news because of a few scares we had in the beginning, and I can't help but to have a minor nervous panic attacks right before every doctor appointment in fear that I will go and find there isn't a heartbeat, but so far everything is looking great! We even found out the gender last friday at my appointment, but we're keeping that a secret until Christmas!

We couldn't feel more blessed and are truly grateful for this chance to bring a new baby into our family.  Kylie can't hardly wait and insists it must be a sister. Jase doesn't really have a clue what is going on, but when it's brought up he likes to pull up his shirt and show me the "scarf" on his belly.

I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't really experience morning sickness. I'll feel a little queazy sometimes during the day, but it's nothing I can't function with. My biggest problem is my energy level. I seriously can't get enough sleep and if it wasn't for two crazy kids I just might spend my days in bed. We are hoping the next 5 months pass quickly and with the plan and precautions my doctor has set into place I am pretty confident we won't be meeting this baby any sooner than May.
