Happy 2nd Birthday Andrew Joshua!!

2 years ago I was laying in a hospital bed with many questions... and most of them didn't get answered for a long time. I remember being very thankful for Josh cause he was strong for me when I didn't know if i could go on, and for a loving and caring God who knows exactly how much we can carry and will never leave us.
When I look back at the past 2 years I am still amazed at where God has brought us from. We are so blessed to have a healthy 2 year old in our family, we love him so much!!

To celebrate Andrew's birthday we got both of our families together for supper on Wednesday for supper, it was a lot of fun!

Rita made a very cute cake...

Raechelle made Andrew's favorite meal, meatloaf and potatoes, it was yummy!

After supper and cake Andrew opened his gifts.

And now he is kept busy with all the new toys, it's really nice for me. :)

We love you Andrew, you are a very special blessing to us!

Week 39

ONE MORE WEEK!!!!!
That's about all that I have to say. :) I am beyond excited to meet this little miracle and now I only have days left to count... it seems unreal that Lord willing I'm going to be a mommy again!
We had a midwife appt. yesterday, all went well, the baby has dropped and I am having a lot of braxton hicks so everyone is getting ready!

I have sore ribs from this little one trying to stretch, but I still enjoy every movement even though I can't wait to watch this baby move instead of just feeling it. :)

7 days left!

Week 38

Well I don't have much to say, the baby is ready to be born, now all we have to do is wait!
We had a midwife appointment yesterday and the baby is doing good.
He/she weighs between 6 and 61/2 pounds and measures 19 to 20 inches long.

I am ready and waiting. Everything is washed, packed and ready to go. :)

2 weeks or 14 days left!

(: Monday Mornings :)

When I was sorting through the baby stuff Andy found this hat and he really enjoys wearing it, it makes me laugh every time I see him. :)

I think it's the Pauls side coming through. :)

Week 37

Praise the Lord, we made it!! Our baby is officially full term now and can been born any day that he/she pleases! What a blessing!
This week the baby is beginning to slow down a bit in it's growth, he/she now weighs around 6 pounds and measures just over 19 inches long, twice as heavy and 4 inches longer than what Andy was when he was born.
And since the baby is full term there are not really any other changes, other than that it is growing hair ( I hope) :)

I am still doing great! I had the fun of getting ready for a baby this week, I missed out on that with Andrew. On Tuesday we had a midwife appt. and she read us the results of the ultrasound, and the doctor says that this baby gets an 8 out of 8 for it's health, another wonderful answer to prayer!!
