Update

Life is rolling along great. I am 151/2 weeks along. I am itching more this pregnancy to find out what we are having. My doctor is going to make me wait until at least 18-19 weeks. Any bets? I really want another boy!I have been feeling better this week, attributed to taking it somewhat easy. My grandparents came in from Utah this past week and we had a wonderful visit. Pictures to come from that trip.

Also... we found a house to move into in Jan! I am so excited to get out of an apartment into a house! It will be such a blessing with two kiddos. It has a yard and Malcolm is already itching to play some soccer. I wish we could move in right now! I am excited for new adventures to come for our family. Johnny graduates in the spring(finally!) and I look forward to that new part of our life!

More pictures to follow. Thank you to all those who have kept us in your prayers. Happy Halloween!

Terrible Thursday

SO, the day started off great! Malcolm and I watched two little girls from church. We played all morning and then their mom came to get them. I then went to the restroom and my terrible thursday began~(this is not for the faint of heart) I looked down and all I saw was blood. This is not good when you are almost 14 weeks pregnant. I panicked! I have had some problems with spotting through out this pregnancy, but this took the cake. I was home alone with Malcolm, Johnny was at school and everyone I knew was at work or out of town. I called my Father-in-law who I remembered was home and through my tears, asked him to come watch Malcolm. I then called the doctors office and they said, get the to ER! That scared me. She told my I couldnt drive so call 911 or get someone to drive me. I got a hold of my mom , who thankfully had the day off work and she hurried over to get me. Johnny finally called from school and sped home. My mom and I went to the ER where I was sent to a room, hooked up to an IV and was terrified that we had lost our little baby. It seemed like hours of time went by. The ER doc ordered an ultrasound which of course took forever to come. Finally they came with the tech and two students. Who do they put on duty, a student! I am fine with a teaching hospital but I wanted a professional! ( she ended up doing a great job). No one said anything to me for the first ten min. I couldn't see the screen so I was trying to read my moms face. She is a Labor and Delivery nurse so I was sure she could tell what was going on. Finally I said frantically, IS THE BABY MOVING?! Yes they said. I think I let out the biggest sigh in history. There was my baby, growing ahead of schedule, kicking and looking at its momma. I can't tell you the relief Johnny and I felt. The ER doc came back (after an hour) and said they arent sure what is causing the bleeding. I am to not lift anything heavy, drink tons of water! and take it easy. I appreciate the prayers of those who knew what was happening. I ask for everyones continued prayers for this little baby and our family. I am confident I will have this child. I know they are supposed to be here in our family. I thank my Heavenly Father for watching over us and know he has a hand in guiding our lives. Here is a picture of Malcolm, just because! ( I know its a repeat but he is so dang cute!)

Columbus Day

Johnny was home for Columbus Day so we decided to take Malcolm to the zoo. We have not been in a long time. It was wonderful because he is finally old enough to care about the animals! The monkeys were his favorite, and snakes are his least. We only lasted in the reptile building for about five seconds! Hope you enjoy

even more!
