Its A.....

Oh my gosh! Its been forever in a day since I've updated! Sorry! Life gets a little crazy when you got kids home for the summer!

So first things first, Im currently 25 weeks and 5 days along now. August 4th we went in for our anatomy ultrasound. Baby looked great! Totally a wiggle worm! Made it hard to get anything done because of the way SHE was laying and squirming. Yup, that's right, I said SHE! Baby #4 is a GIRL! All of Jades prayers paid off! LOL Baby is due Dec 6th(even though I think she will be a week early) and we have a name picked out but will not be telling anyone until she is born. I want to also share with you a note I wrote on Facebook that day we found out... since some of you family members are out of the FB loop.

"Today has been a very exciting and emotional day. Not just for me. Seeing our sweet baby girl alive and well on that black and white screen today touched us all... After we got home today, I took the dog outside to do her thing. Robbie followed and said he was going to sit down over in butterfly garden. I said okay and to come in when he was ready. After about 5 minutes he came back in and I asked him what he was up to. He said nothing. That he was just talking to God and thanking him for sending us our baby girl that we have been waiting for. I truly believe that you should never 'dumb down' what your children understand about the 'adult world'. They were sent here to guide us in some of life's trials and have a better understanding of the world then we give them credit for when it comes to certain issues. The loss of our baby in September impacted each one of us differently, including my children. To hear my son speak such kind and humble words brings me to tears.

I love my children. Thank you God for giving me such amazing gifts. I honestly do not know where I would be with out them guiding me with their knowledge of compassion, honesty and love everyday."

So there is the note. Kids are utterly amazing!

So, we just got back from vacation in Virginia Beach tonight. It was fun. I needed the sunshine something bad! My pale self got nice and red with a hint on tan lol the kids all tanned beautifully, thanks to my awesome genetics lol Baby L was loving it. I didn't wear a one piece this year so she was getting plenty of baby bump sun time in.

That's pretty much it for now. Summers almost over and school starts again in 2 weeks. Im excited! Kids are too. This summer flew by though. We just can't wait till the holiday season gets rolling!
