Jake The Snake

We have been reading/speaking a lot to Jake about animals here lately. The other night he was partial to the snake. He took James belt and squiggled all around saying'''ssssshhhhssss'' like a snake!!! It was sooo cute. And this is him laughing at himself when we started to laugh. What a clown:)

And we are having a .............

BOY!!!!!!


Can you tell? The ultrasound tech. was for certain that it's a boy!!! And, the best part, everything checked out GREAT!!!!!
We are very excited!!! I get really excited to think about what this is going to mean for Jake. He will always have a playmate, a hide and seek partner and a little buddy to get into mischief with as well! They will be almost 2 years apart to the day.
We ''plan''to have 1-2 more and I would be lying if I said I didn't care if I ever had a girl, I do, but God has CHOSEN US to have 2 sweet little boys to shape into men that, we pray, would one day know there Savior and bring Him glory with their lives. It is a little daunting, but we are up for this HUGE calling of raising two young men, because we know through are wonderful Heavenly Father's promise.......He will supply all the grace we need!!!!!

Ultrasound Thursday

Just wanted to ask for prayer for thursday's ultrasound. Please pray with us that this baby looks healthy on the ultrasound. I have had horrible dreams about seeing 3 arms and/or intestines outside of the body.....yeah, I know.....that's what we call NOT trusting God....or His plan for our lives. These fears just show me how much I think I can do a better job ruling my life. I am learning so much about my sinful self-sufficiency these days!!!!!
We are soooo excited to hopefully see if we will be having a girlie or a boy!!! I will post as soon as I get back from the appt. It's in the morning sooooo.....stay tuned!
