Well it has been long enough. It is time to update our blog, pretty extensively actually. But for now just an update. We are all three doing very well. Brock is working hard for the Lord at FCC, I am home with Lincoln watching other children during the week, and Lincoln is growing so fast--taking so much info in every day and loving life :)
We found out some really amazing news back in October. We are excited to announce that we are expecting another bundle of joy this next May. Lincoln will be such an awesome big brother. I have had three appointments so far, and everything looks good. Our first appointment we went expecting to have an ultrasound, took Lincoln with us, and found out we weren't far enough along to have the US yet. So we left a little discouraged but were excited to go back knowing we would get to hear the baby's heartbeat and hopefully see a glimpse of him/her. And soon enough we did, Lincoln loved it. He sat with Daddy and just watched as the doctor checked the baby. Lincoln got a chance later to show the picture to friends and family telling them all about the baby :) I had another appointment a month later, which I was in and out of fast--just to check the heartbeat and my measurements.
Our next appointment would be to have an US and find out the sex of our new little one. It was scheduled for December 28th, which we were shocked at, because I would only be 18 weeks and with Lincoln I was around 20 weeks. We took Lincoln with us again and he has been saying all along that he thought it was a sister. And when we were sitting in the room waiting for the doctor he said it was a brother. He cracks me up--not sure that when he was saying sister the whole time he knew that meant a girl :) We tried to explain that to him, but he just went with it anyway. The doctor came in and said something along these lines, "you are 18 weeks, why are we doing an ultrasound?" I told him I wondered the same thing. The other doctor in the office scheduled it, so who knows ;)
He proceeded to say we would go ahead with it and if he was able to he would tell us the sex. He started the US and Lincoln sat with Daddy again just discussing all the things the doctor was showing us. We got to see the baby's face, belly, arms, legs, arms move a little, spine, and ........ one tiny little picture the doctor snapped at the beginning lead the doctor to believe we are going to be having a little girl :) He said we would do an US in a month to confirm. So I will update this blog when that time arrives. We are so very excited about having a baby girl and just an bit nervous at the same time.
I am feeling well, starting to show, and so ready to get things ready at the house so we can welcome her. We want to be sure to give Lincoln the room he wants and make sure he knows how much he is loved. So please pray for us during this process--he knows how much he is loved,most definitely--but moving things and painting, and all that goes with getting things ready will take us some time and energy.
So with all that said we are well!!!!!! More updates to come soon.
