Introducing. . .

We are proud to introduce to you. . .

Our baby is doing great so far (although I don’t advise getting a kidney stone while pregnant.)  My due date is exactly what it was 5 years ago with Olivia and Logan and I even found out on the exact day as well.  Only God could provide that kind of timing.  Because I had a classical (vertical) c-section with Logan, I will have another c-section and they won’t allow me to go full term for fear of uterine rupture.  So, we’re hoping to at least make it to Thanksgiving.  I have a long road ahead of me starting with a cerclage (stitching the cervix shut) next month.  We also have my diabetes to contend with which may need to be controlled by insulin.  Please please keep me, this baby and my family in your prayers.  I’m hopeful, but cautious. . .and a tad bit terrified.  Olivia is looking so forward to being a big sister and has already told me all of the things that she is going to teach the baby.  She insists it is a sister, but has come up with names for both.  If it’s a boy, for instance, she would like his name to be Curtain.  LOL!  We are praying for a very smooth, uneventful pregnancy and I can’t wait for you all to take this journey with me.
