14 years ago today....

Oh my it has been a fast 14 years. As I look back on the last 14 years there are so many cherished memories, I just hope I can preserve them all in my mind. Fourteen years ago today, Richard and I brought our very first little one into this world and what a miracle from God it was. Nathaniel was never to be as we had so many problems in that pregnancy, but God had his own plan and that was to bless our family with this amazing young man. He started his birthday out this morning by heading up See You At The Pole at his school. I am so proud of him for taking a stand in what he believes in. He headed it up last year and only had 1 other student join him. He said he was going to do it again this year even if it was just him. However God is great and he had about 10 students and 3-4 adults join him. Praise God for Nathaniel's sweet spirit. For those of you who don't know him, he is a wonderful young man with great gifts and a HUGE heart for everyone. Yes he has his teenage faults, but I could not be more blessed than I am with the son God has given me.

I told Richard this morning, my baby isn't a baby and yet God has blessed us with Jacob and a new little one on the way. We both know that Jacob will be just as stron as Nathaniel is in his convictions and that the new little one will be as big a blessing as these boys are. We pray daily for our children. We pray God will have such a tight hold on their hearts and that they will feel that tug every day of thier lives and follow it in the right direction. Thank you to all our family and friends who have had a hand in helping raise our children.

In Christ!!!

Doctor's Appt

Well I had another Doc's appt. yesterday. He said the baby looks good and is developing very well. Looks like a big baby - kind of scary. Both my boys were small weighing in at 6lbs9oz and 6lbs4oz and only 19inches and 16 inches. So for me a big baby is a little scary. My placenta is moving as it should be but very slowly like only 2-3 cm at a time. The good news is we are getting there. Hopefully another 4-5 weeks will do the trick. I have started feeling a little movement every now and then and that is exciting. I have a fetal heart doppler and we get to listen to the heartbeat as much as we want. That is very helpful when you are having issues. He did say he didn't see any obvious boy parts and it looks like a little girl. We are all very excited about that - honeslty i think Richard is the most excited. We will check again in 4 weeks to see if it is still a girl.

Thank you all for your prayers and support and all that you have done for us. We truly appreciate it all and could not do this without everyone's help.

We love you all
God Bless.
