First off, I know that almost every post (OK all of them) is about Baby Ethan... but I can't really say I'm sorry. I had so many plans and wants about this blog. I really did. I also thought I would have cute little updates and write all this great stuff now that I'm not in school. But seriously, time has RACED by... and I'm left here dumbfounded that I'm now officially in my third trimester (28 weeks today)! How did that even happen? Ethan is our miracle people. I will continue to brag and glorify God! Because we are having a son! God has stepped in so many times to comfort, give strength, and even intervene. He has protected and preserved the life of our baby boy. Whom we are already in-love with! Seriously I spend probably almost an hour everyday watching my stomach move from kicks. This is definitely a new season for me. There are so many transitions that I have faced this year. First I'm no longer a student. I want desperately to return to get my ...

We will be welcoming a baby boy in October! We are so excited!  Here is our announcement we recorded the day we found out... This is our family finding out... Here is the name we picked...  We are so excited about our little Ethan! Our little miracle!!  God is so good and faithful! Can't wait to meet our little guy!  Love,  Ethan's mommy

I have a little miracle inside of me, a little precious baby that will have a perfect mix of J and I.... I cannot wait to hug our child and to kiss its sweet little face! My heart was bursting at seeing our child's profile and seeing their mouth opening and closing. Oh my heart!! In saying that, this post may be TMI, just warning you. It may be embarrassing but... I was "warned" you could say. Women told me there would be exhaustion, nauseousness, hormones... And I listened. But I guess I cannot blame them for not being able to put into words the extreme side of these things. Hormones- They said you are emotional, you sometimes want to just punch your hubby, then there are sometimes that all you want to do is be hugged and held. I have never felt so crazy...ever. I remember being told that it is like PMS but worse. Worse? It is so crazy that I would not even compare it with PMS! WOWZER! It felt like I was on a roller coaster! A fast, twisty, upside down coas...

So... even though I'm not extremely showing I want to document every bit of this experience! I LOVE being pregnant! (PS. Don't get excited I only used blue font on the picture because it shows up really well... we STILL don't know the sex yet.)   Do you not just LOVE that little arm! It waved and waved at us at the ultrasound! We even got to see Baby open and closing it's mouth. I've never been so amazed. What a beautiful life that is growing in me. God is so amazing! And faithful, and I'm so so so thankful!    I'm in my second trimester. Baby L is doing really well. Measuring on target. Actually it is measuring 3 days ahead.  The first trimester was a roller coaster.. and to be honest this weeks has not been any different. More about that in the next post. J and I are so excited and can hardly talk about anything else. Our little miracle is growing and growing!  I'm loving my bump! I love looking pregnant! Even though my ...

We have so much negativity around us... On Tuesdays I hope to add some light in all this darkness. There are miracles everyday... I am going to post a news article... video... or personal story about a miracle! Hope this brightens your day!! Be Blessed!!  This is an amazing story!! Brought tears to my eyes!
