birthdays

October 2005


September 2007

And there is another birthday on the way. #3 is due the end of August. We are so excited and very, very grateful to our Heavenly Father and everyone who has lifted us with their prayers and kind thoughts over the last 16 months. We've seen the little lovely via sonogram and have heard the heart beat twice. Everything looks wonderfully normal. We are just starting into the second trimester, I'm at 13 weeks. Though we realize that anything could happen still, statistics are now on our side and we are out of my normal miscarriage danger zone. It has been a rough couple of months. Cori deserves Olympic gold for the weight he has pulled around here (without complaint). He is so very good to us. I'm starting to feel better. And we thank Heaven every chance we get. (And I could munch on jalepeno peppers all day long.)

We took this picture of Grace a couple of nights ago. She had stuffed a bunch of her animals into her pjs when she changed clothes. When I asked her about it again today, she told me she was carrying her babies in her tummy. We are all a little excited. :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I was so hoping that's why you weren't blogging! :):) I'm glad you're feeling better and I can't wait to "meet" the beautiful little one in August! Lots and lots of love!!

Stacie said...

Hooray! I have been awaiting this news, and I am so happy to hear it! We will be sending well wishes your way. Congratulations!

And I have to ask...I noticed your V8 drink in your newer post. Is that a regular thing or a pregnant thing? I have a friend who drinks a lot of V8 when she is pregnant. Does it help with nausea or just give you extra vitamins you need?

Jesse said...

Stacie- The V8 is definitely a pregnancy thing. Normally I am not a big fan. The spicy hot has somehow helped battle the nausea. So strange!

Ann said...

Great News! Another cute little one on the way, how exciting. Glad you are doing well.

Cameron/Melissa said...

congrats! I am glad you are feeling a little better. Nothing like pregnancy nausea to get a person down! Hopefully it is over and you can enjoy being pregnant!

Jessie said...

Congrats you guys!! Happy, happy news!

Tamara said...
