Here's a couple little hints too:
Emmie was 7 lbs 13 oz
Baby was approximately 4 lbs 11 oz at 32 weeks

Waiting....
It was about this time in my pregnancy with Emmie that I started this blog so I thought it only fitting that I try and start things up again this time around. I'm a week and a half out from my due date and ready for our baby boy to come. The Christmas tree is up, the Christmas shopping is done (at least almost). I haven't packed my bag for the hospital yet though. I guess I don't want to get overly eager. But now that I think about it, it probably would be a wise thing to do in the next couple of days. Emmie is ready for her baby brother to come and she's looking forward to helping with him as much as she can. That's really all that is going on right now. Just waiting and trying to get things ready for Christmas. Oh, and for the record I'm guessing 8 lbs 5 oz and 21 inches....anyone else want to take a guess?

Chad joked he's showing us his "golden arm"
Playing with the umbilical cord
Cheese!
Everything looks good and normal. These were done at 20 weeks (that was two weeks ago). Only 18 weeks to go (give or take). =o)

Spring-Summer Update
Ok, so I'm horrible at keeping this blog updated. =o) But maybe I'll try and do more of a weekly thing now that I'm over my morning sickness. That's right, for those of you who don't know (which I'm assuming is not very many), I'm almost 21 weeks pregnant. We found out last monday we're having a little boy. We're all excited to meet him around December 15th. Emmie's looking forward to having a younger sibling. I know she's looking forward to the day when she has a little friend to play with all the time.
The beginning of this pregnancy was harder than my pregnancy with Emmie. Morning (All Day) sickness kicked in at the beginning of week 6 and I threw up more during week 8 than I did my entire pregnancy with Emmie. I would wake up at 2 am having to eat something so that I wouldn't get sick. I am so thankful God allowed Zofran to be invented because after getting a prescription at my 9 week checkup the next 5 weeks were quite tolerable. I was able to lead a somewhat normal life and as Chad put it, "I got my wife back." By the end of June I was able to go off the medication and I only feel sick once and awhile now.
This spring also saw two trips to the ER. Chad earned 3 stitches in the tip of his nose after what was supposed to be an amazing over-the-shoulder catch in softball turned into a softball ricocheting off his nose. Thankfully it hit right on the tip so there were no missing teeth, no concussion, and his nose wasn't even broken. We were so thankful God protected Chad as it could have been so much worse.
The second trip was for me and was less eventful than the last time I had to go to the ER though
both trips were for the same reason. I wound up getting a migraine headache that just wouldn't go away. So we had to make a trip into the ER for an IV and medication. The same thing happened when I was pregnant with Emmie. Only that time we were driving through about 6 inches of snow to get to the hospital.
In more fun news, we purchased a swing set for Emmie in June and she has enjoyed being able to play on her "yellow swing" and in the little clubhouse this summer. Chad and I spend about 12 hours putting it together and making sure it was level (Chad did most of the work). A word to the wise, if you're looking at buying a swing set, most places put their swing sets on sale from about Easter until mid-may and then they won't run too many sales during the summer.
That's about all the news for now, Emmie's waiting for me to finish so we can go and play outside.

Free Rita's on Friday the 20th
For those of you who love Rita's Italian Ice (or even those of you who haven't even tried it before), just a friendly reminder that tomorrow (March 20th) is the first day of spring. You know what that means! Free regular italian ices tomorrow! Yummy!
Thoughtful Little Girl
As I was watching Emmie playing in the tub last night during bathtime, I started hiccuping. Emmie laughed at first and then she dutifully poured a couple of small cups of her bath water into a bigger cup and held it up to me saying, "Here Mommy, drink dis water, makes hiccups go away!" I have such a thoughtful little girl. =o)

The inquisitiveness starts...
This morning at breakfast I was listening to a voicemail from my mom on speakerphone at the table. Emmie was sitting there listening to it at the same time and when it was done very excitedly told me that "Grandma said hi to me and daddy and mommy." Then after looking at the phone for a few minutes and computing the fact that I wasn't actually talking to my mom on the phone at the moment proceeded to ask, "How did she do that?" I think that's the first of many "how's?" Emmie will be asking. =o)

After a long break....
Hello Adoring Public....or those of you who are still persistent enough to check our blog despite my long disappearance.
December and January were busy months with their fair share of ups and downs. We found out in November that we were expecting again and that was very exciting. However, by the time the middle of December rolled around morning/noon/night sickness (and I do mean night, I was eating granola bars at 2 am to keep from getting sick) had set in and I was pretty much out of commission over Christmas and New Years'. Sadly, the first week in January was not a joyful time for us a we found out we would be unable to hold our child on this side of heaven. We trust God that He is in control and though we do not understand, His grace is sufficient and His love and will for our lives is perfect.
That being said, it took another couple of months to recuperate and get back into the swing of things. But all is going well now. We're thankful that Chad has had a lot of work this year already and we're praying that things continue despite the economy. I think there is a great peace in knowing that God will supply our every need. Now that doesn't mean every want, but He does have our best interest at heart and when we trust Him we are able to be content in every circumstance. Much like Paul talks about in Phillipians: "For I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
In church on Sunday the sermon was on Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. When they were confronted by Nebuchadnezzar after they refused to worship the idol, their faith in God's plan for their lives is incredible. Not only did they have the faith and confidence to say that God would deliver them out of the King's hand, but they said, "Even if He does not..." They knew that God's plan was perfect and He would use them for His glory be it alive or dead. There is such peace to be had when we align ourselves with God's plan for our lives. We might not like it, there will be times when we downright hate it, but "all thing do work for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes." What a joy and relief!!
Well, I think that's about all I have in me for tonight. I'll get some pictures posted up here so you can see Emmie. She's growing up so quickly! She's very shy but if you give her time to warm up, she's a great conversationalist. =o)
