Welcome

"but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
~Isaiah 40:31

Another Ultrasound!

Baby Waving


Baby Bouncing

Baby jumping & doing the wave!

I just thought that I would share a few vidoes with you all. They are only a couple seconds long but are supper cute! We have a pretty active baby! I can't wait to actually get to feel all the movements!

Please enjoy!

3D Pictures


Top View of the head and two legs

Top view of the brain! Crazy huh?


Our baby was a little camera shy. He/She kept putting their hands up by their face.



I signed myself up to be a Model for Philips Healthcare. They call me periodically to come in and do some testing on their ultrasound equipment for a payment in return. It is completely safe. They are just testing the image.
We went in on Friday, October 9th to have an ultrasound done. Mike got to see most of what was happening because I was behind the screen and he was sitting in front of it with the engineer and sonographer.
It was a riot watching them laugh everytime the baby would move around! He/She was pretty active!
The Ultrasound was incredible, it was so clear. Mike was saying he could see the baby's brain (which I have pictured), the heart and the four chambers, the spine, and even the kidneys!
It is so amazing what God creates! Even as small as this little guy is he/she has so much detail!
When you go in to have the testing done they usually just pay you a certain amount but, we were blessed and they asked me if I wouldn't mind being tested on another Ultrasound that was 3D. I said, "Sure why not?" Then the sonographer said, "You would get paid twice as much. " "Who could say no to that!"
We even got to see the baby move in 4D! It was so cool!
I am falling in love with this little one more and more each day! I feel so incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to be a mom and I am sooo excited for Mike to be a dad! I know he is going to make a great daddy!

October 3rd....

Wow the day has finally come! I can't believe how quickly this date snuck up on me.
Today wasn't as hard as I thought that it would be but I did have my moments throughout the week.
I am at peace knowing that someday I will be able to see my baby in heaven!

I am moving forward in my life and it is very exciting. But, I know that I will NEVER forget my first!
Every moment of everyday is so precious and wonderful! I praise Jesus for that!

"What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?" - Psalm 30:9

"For great is your love, higher than the heavens, your faithfulness reaches to the skies." - Psalm 108:4
