DO WHAT?!?

... My exact words after seeing this....

Ha.. that is how many I had to "go" on before I believed it!

All of you should know by now... I AM PREGNANT, but I thought I would share the story...I am going to be brutally honest, there were tears, tears and more tears. I was pretty shocked, to say the least. It wasn't a part of "our" timing. But what is? We have been through some things in the last 3 years that weren't "our" timing. We are constantly reminded that it is not about us, it's what God wants and has in store for our life. And to be honest, it has all worked out perfectly. I am amazed day by day how much God has blessed us and I really wouldn't change a thing about my life. We are definitely getting use to the idea now (being pregnant)... I have a feeling it will go by very fast, so much going on between now and then. My due date is November 7th, baby will probably be here by the end of October (c-section). So it looks like Big brother will share his birthday month with a sibling!

Gavin is so sweet. He says a prayer for the baby in "his" tummy every night. In fact, that is how my parents found out. At dinner Gavin said the prayer and thanked God for the baby. My parents looked confused and we started laughing and crying. My parents were shocked too! At our first ultrasound Gavin told Dr. N (my OBGYN) that mommy "ate the baby". I wonder where he heard that?? We had our second ultrasound on Monday. Baby looks great! Gavin didn't make it to that appointment because he was still recovering from his cath. So we didn't get any pictures. I do have ultrasound pictures, however, our scanner is not working right now. We ask that you pray for this baby and "his/her" health. We found out about Gavin's condition when I was 20 weeks. So the anxiety every time I have an appointment builds up more and more!

Gavin is on the mend, much better and more playful! We should hear from Dr. P in the coming weeks about a surgery date. It is definitely bittersweet. I wonder what life is going to be like with out another surgery "looming" over us. Pre-surgery is difficult for us... I think especially this time. Gavin is very aware of his surroundings, pain, discomfort. He knows when something isn't right and it scares me to watch him in pain. He is extremely verbal now and I just know that will be hard to deal with. We appreciate your love and support during this time!

Sorry for lack of posts lately, I haven't felt the best!
