Terrific Kid

Here's my Stephen...he won Terrific Kid at his school for the month of October. They base the winner each month on a different positive characteristic. He won for being "enthusiastic". Yes, yes he is.

So it's pumpkin carving time, and trick-or-treating is tomorrow. The boys will be a transformer and a storm trooper. Good times.

The pregnancy is going well. My next visit with my mid-wife is on Wednesday...I'll be 11 weeks and we're hoping to hear the heartbeat then. I've been feeling rather sick over the past month or so, which is not at all how I felt with the boys! A young chick told me the other day that it's probably because I'm "older" this time. Gee, thanks.

Finally!

It's official...I'm due in late May! So, after years of pleading with God and my husband to let me have just one more baby I can finally say that I'm pregnant! I'm 6 weeks along tomorrow, and my first appointment with my midwife is today.

Catching Up

I haven't written anything here in ages...life is good. This summer has been fantastic. My boys are growing like weeds. We were looking into adopting a daughter from China, but it seems that's just not going to be the direction God's going to take us after all. It's a long story, but as of now I believe we're going to just try and conceive instead. I've wanted another baby for over 2 years, and it looks like I might finally get one. That's great news, but I'd be a big fat liar if I said I didn't care what the sex was. I want a daughter. God knows best though, and it's all in his hands. So, with that said, I should be updating far more often since this new journey in our lives has begun. Stephen starts first grade in less than a month, and Christian has just one more year until K5. Above are a few recent photos of the boys.
