Yes... these are my ultrasound pictures!!!!
Back in November, I started getting really sick to my stomach! At the time, we had only been here a month and had been having our share of stomach issues, so I thought it was just time for another cycle to run through our family. After a few days of this, Franklin had been out getting some other things we needed and came home with a pregnancy test. I looked at him crazy and thought "surely, he can't be serious!" It never had even crossed my mind that I could be pregnant! Well, I finally took it for him and we couldn't believe it was actually positive. For those of you who don't know our history... we haven't been able to get pregnant again for seven years! After several miscarriages and many, many negative pregnancy tests over the course of about three or four years, we finally had to let go of the heartache and allow the Lord to give our hearts peace over not having another child. This took another two years; but we had grown to love Alex even more deeply and became content with our little family of three! The older Alex got, we realized it wasn't so bad to get a good night's sleep and not have diapers to change :o)
Well... all that is about to change come August 11th! Once we got over the shock... we became very excited over the thought of a little one running around here again and very thankful to the Lord for this little miracle and blessing in our lives right now! Alex is going to be a wonderful big brother and can hardly wait for the baby to get here!! He can't understand why I don't have this baby next week or something :o) He asks us just about every day if it's August yet?? Surely, you don't forget what to do with newborns?? I've been told it's like riding a bike... somehow, I remember it being a bit more complicated than that :o)
Just Kidding... we are NOT having twins :o)
