IT'S A..........

BOY!!!!

Yep, another baby boy is on the way! Our ultrasound went well. Bib Dos looks good! He weighs about 13 oz. right now, and is measuring just right. No placenta problems so far with this one! The Lord is so GOOD! Josh and I are thrilled! Ty will have a little buddy to play and rough house with...or whatever it is brothers do! We will make sure to keep everyone updated! Thanks for all your prayers and support! It means the world to us!

What a great weekend!

Our weekend was too much fun! Our good friends, the Sunderman family, came to visit this past weekend. We went to the Louisville Bat Museum, had a cook out, and just spent some quality time with good friends that we don't see often enough! Thanks for coming down, Sunderman's! It means so much to us, and we can't wait to see you again!

Baby Doctor Visit!

The Lord is good! We had another baby doctor visit today, and all is well! The baby is measuring just right, and the heartbeat is good and strong! The doctor said the heart rate was 160, so if you go by the myth, that would mean a girl! I still think it's a boy, though. We'll see if my "mother's intuition" is right or wrong. I see that many of you voted on our poll. Thanks! I left it up long enough so you could change your vote (if you want to) after this doctor's appointment. I have a 20-week ultrasound scheduled for Monday, August 31 in the morning. Now this isn't supposed to be an ultrasound where we find out the baby's gender. It's strictly to check the baby's anatomy and make sure he is healthy and growing normally. But our doctor said that if baby cooperates, and they can tell what it is, then they will let us know. So, we may find out what Bib Dos is as soon as August 31! If they can't tell, we'll have to wait until I am 24 weeks (which would be around Sept. 22). So, first and foremost, we pray that this baby is growing healthy and strong with no complications! Then, we pray that baby will cooperate so we'll know if it's a he or she by August 31! Hopefully we will know soon! :-)

Myrtle Beach and Prayer Request

Josh and I celebrated our two year wedding anniversary on August 9. As an anniversary gift, Josh surprised me with our first family vacation to Myrtle Beach! How awesome is that? I have the best husband ever! So last week we packed up and made the long drive to the beach! We had so much fun! It was Ty's first time at the beach, and he enjoyed it. He loved the sand...had it everywhere! The ocean he wasn't so sure about. He didn't like the waves too much, but he did love swimming in the pool! We had a fabulous time! I really wish we could have stayed there longer, but am grateful for the time we did have. One thing you learn from being in the Army is to cherish the precious time that you do get to spend with your family! Thanks for planning such a wonderful trip, Josh!

Here are some pictures of our trip:

Daddy and Ty on the beach...not sure what kind of face Ty is making?!

Mommy and Ty

This is how Ty crawled on the beach. I guess the sand hurt his knees so he modified his crawl! He kept crawling this way from shell to shell, sticking each one in his mouth before mommy could stop him! He must have eaten tons of sand!

Prayer Request:

We finally received Josh's Ranger School dates. He leaves in early October, and, Lord willing, will graduate in early December. Please keep Josh in your prayers as he trains and prepares to go to Ranger School. He is going to need the Good Lord on his side to help him make it through this challenging course. Pray that the Lord keeps him healthy, motivated, and mentally tough. Pray that he makes it through Ranger School so he can be home in plenty of time for Bib Dos's arrival! Thank you so much for remembering him in your prayers...it means so much to us!
