The newest member of the family: BOY or GIRL?

Everyone is different, but for myself, pregnancies #1 and #2 have been fairly consistent. Therefore, I have thrown out trimesters and simply divided pregnancy into two halves. The first half is miserable. The second half is awesome.
 
During the first half, I am exhausted, sick and feel as large as a house that no one knows is carrying a child yet, but is clearly growing out of her pants. If your first 18 weeks of pregnancy only increased your boob size and radiant glow- good for you, now excuse me while I throw-up some more. 

The glorious second half however, is where Jesus calms the sea and I can once again eat spaghetti! By this point I have a decipherable 'baby bump' and the real fun begins. For example, with the 20th week comes the anatomy ultrasound. We finally get to find out: boy or girl?! Which is what I present you today!

But first, a picture collage from our small reveal party!

   
   
















And now, what you have all been waiting for!

Or at least what I had been waiting for.





We are having a:




....and we are thrilled! 

Welcome to the family my newest son. 
We love you to infinity and beyond!

No Children at Church?

Cody and I have been volunteering at Falls City Christian Church  for a couple months now, where we take turns each month, teaching a lesson to the kiddos. Not to brag, but we have discovered the keys to a successful lesson: games and candy. This month, I chose to stray from the typical 'bible story' theme and go over how to pray in general. Praying is such a beautiful, powerful and important aspect of our relationship with God. I mean come on, we stinkin' get free 24 hr access to talk to the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. This trumps having Theo James's personal number on my speed dial, which I do; in my dreams. Come Sunday, I was giddy with excitement to teach my lesson! My growing anticipation was stunted however when alas, no children attended church that morning. Bummer eh? Not anymore! because luckily, I have this nifty little blog. So here it is; a 'would-have-been-epic' lesson on prayer! Open your hand and take a look, there should be fiv...

Don't worry it's totally normal...I think.

Parenthood is something else. The odd things I have begun to do are probably typical, at least I tell myself that! Here are some new things that I find happening every-so-often. If you can relate, wonderful, that means we can pretend this stuff is normal together!

A Belated Update

February 23, 2018 Dear friends and family,  Hello to you! We write this from the Salem NICU. Here we sit and watch the sky lighten and darken in a morphed cycle of hours that have all blended together. Cody and I have received your text messages and read your Facebook comments. Please accept our  apologies for the lack of information or response. Here is an update for all of you who have been wondering about our current situation. Where to start? We found out we were expecting, approximately three days after Cody cancelled his vasectomy and relented to go for “one more baby”. At 15 weeks I measured what would be a normal 20 week size. Two heart beats would clear up that confusion. Surprise! Cody replaced his hesitations about having three children with extreme excitement to have four. I however, was slightly terrified. They say if you can manage three kids that you can manage any number....I guess we’ll find out!  Loe and behold, our twin gir...
