Giving Thanks {Day 10}: Our Big News!

I have A LOT to be thankful for today...but first, let's play catch up...

This picture was taken 2 weeks ago...when I was, obviously...18 weeks pregnant.

This picture was taken today...when I'm 20 weeks pregnant!

 Half way there!! 



Today, on November 10, 2011 I am most thankful for a doctor's appointment that put my mind at ease. 

I am thankful for friends and family who have prayed so diligently for me and this new baby. 

I am thankful to God, who has in the last few days really reminded me that every child is a blessing from Him...each one to be cherished.  Having a child should never get "old" or "normal".  Each life is a seprate one to celebrate!!

I am thankful that this baby has no spinal abnormalities.  None.

I am thankful that my fluid levels were normal.

I am thankful that my liver is functioning perfectly.

I am thankful that this baby's heart is beating in a perfect rhythm. 

I am thankful that as of today, the doctors see no reaon why I would have to have another ultrasound, or any further "out of the norm" tests.

Today I am thankful that I'm having another son.

We got blue cookies and brought them home to the kids to tell them and celebrate. 

Hunter guessed the "clue" first! 

he was happy...

but, like his momma, takes some time to process surprises like this.

Silas was happy.

Blake was VERY happy.

Graysen was...well...not very happy.

at first.

Then, after some special whispers with Mommy and Aunt Sis,

she looked more like this:



We're praising God tonight.

For His miraculous works.

For knitting this son together in my womb.

For knowing what's best.
