Happy Easter and a new baby on the way!

I wish my sonogram pics were of better quality to scan, but they aren't, so I am going without any pics on this post.  Yes, you read the headline correctly, we are expecting  baby #3 in late October.  Most people know, but I still haven't announced it on facebook.  I am sure I eventually will...


I went for my 12 week visit yesterday and everything looks great, which is why I felt good enough to post it on here today.  After my miscarriage last fall, it's been a scary ride to say the least.  I have gotten to see the baby at all 3 visits and hear the heartbeat.  I think my doc knows what a nervous wreck I am when I go in there, so she soothes my fears by showing us that sweet miracle on the screen.


Ironic that I miscarried last October, and now am due with an October baby.  I am not sure what to do with a fall baby...I have 2 spring babies, so this will definitely be a change.  I am also 35 which scares me a little bit.  My doctor is so great and eases my fears...after 35, a woman is considered to be of "Advanced Maternal Age."  Whatever...


Zadie is super excited and of course wants a sister.  Garrison took a little more convincing and thinks he wants a brother.  Alex thinks it's a boy, and I am on the fence about it.  I always wanted a sister and Alex always wanted a brother...if it is a boy, it would be closer in age to Garrison, and they would probably play and fight well with one another.  If it's a girl, then Garrison will always be my sweet baby boy.  Oh well, I will be fine with whatever....a healthy baby is all I am asking for.


Speaking of asking.  How lucky are we to have Jesus as our Saviour?  I am so thankful God made the ultimate sacrifice for us sinners to be washed clean of them with his only son.  We are so blessed beyond words.  Have a joyous Easter, and may you get to spend time with family.


Next post will be a catch up of pics of my kiddos!!!  They are growing leaps and bounds...
