It's a Girl!

So excited to find out this morning, that we have been given another precious little daughter! We thought it was going to be a boy, so it seemed surprising. But I love the thought of another sweet little baby girl, curls, dimples, bows and pink! So fun to think of two sweet little sisters becoming best friends as they grow up together. So thankful she seems healthy and active in the womb, such a blessing! Looking forward to meeting her and holding her!

Tomorrow, tomorrow, you're only a day away!

I'm having a hard time being patient. I wish it was tomorrow morning NOW. =)

Tomorrow morning I have my ultrasound of baby number three and we are hoping to find out if it's a girl or boy. For the record, I think it's a boy. So does Athan. But we really can't wait to see. Ok, I take it back... I can't wait to see! Athan would like it to be a surprise.

I admit the idea of a 'surprise' baby, not finding out what it is till it's born, is a fun idea. I'm just not there... I don't feel prepared at all. I feel like there is so much to do, with moving and all, to not know and be prepared. So Athan has agreed we can find out.

We're taking Seth and Charlie with us, to see their new brother or sister on the tv. I think Seth will get it, Charlie might be a little bored.

Tomorrow night, we're going out to dinner with Mitch, LeighAnn and Eli to celebrate! I can't wait to start telling everyone about our precious little one! I've been happy about this baby but I always feel like the ultrasound makes it just a little more real.

Moving on

So I haven't been on here very much since my 'first' post but I hope to correct that. I very much want to keep some sort of record of our busy lives right now and this is often the easiest way to do that.

On Friday (Oct 30, 2009) we found out we're going to be moving. We are very excited... it's a base we had put on our list and will move us much closer to family! We're headed to Shaw AFB, SC in January. That's the part I keep shaking my head about... January. A little more than two months away. I have a lot of work ahead of me... packing up our house, getting our house ready for inspection, figuring out housing and schools on the other end. Plus the actual 5 day trip. All while being pregnant with baby number 3! Oh and did I mention before we move we're having family in town for Thanksgiving? And then Christmas and New Years will happen too. Shew! I'm ready to give up before even getting started!

The thing to remind myself is: God is in control. I am not. I want to be, often think I am. But really, would things turn out good if I was the one in control? Nope! So in remembering God is in control I can also remember: His timing is perfect and He is working all of this for our good. That's a really exciting thought and we're looking forward to the good He has for us in this new place!
