We went for our 20wk ultrasound today. The baby looks great and he let us know that he was a boy!! I will post pics of the ultrasound as soon as I scan the photos on a disc. Brad, Gracie and I with the grandparents went to the ultrasound today. We are all very excited and thank God for this healthy baby! God is great!! I think I was in shock at first when she said boy because I really thought it was a girl. We are not 100% on a name yet, but we have one in mind. I will post as soon as we decide! Thank you to all of our family and friends for your prayers!!!!!
Love,
Brad, Joni and Gracie
I had my 17wk check-up today and everything went great!!! The heartbeat was good and strong!! That sound is such a miracle and I thank our Lord everytime that I hear it because he is the giver of life!!! Being pregnant has it's ups and downs, but it is such a miracle that God uses our bodies to carry these beautiful babies!!! Gracie did great today at the appointment!! She was very patient while we waited and wanted to know where the babies were at. Every woman that walked through just had to have a baby inside her belly. She was very cute!!! We will go back on August 25th to find out the sex of the baby and for the big 20 week ultrasound. Please continue to pray that this baby will be healthy and all of it's little organs will be growing as they should as they do the ultrasound. We thank everyone for all of the prayers!!! Brad, Gracie, Mimi and Gramma will all be going to this next appointment. What an exciting time!!!!
August is a very busy month for us, but a very blessed one!!! We will celebrate Gracie's 3rd birthday this month with a Dora the explorer theme. I have never done cartoon characters as her theme, so this is a new one. I let her pick this year and she loves Dora. Brad and I will celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary on August the 28th. We should also find out sometime in August what the sex of the baby will be!!!! I am now 17wks pregnant and everything is going great! I am still getting sick here and there, but that is ok!! I have a doctor's appt in the morning and Gracie is going with me. She has never been to any of the appointments yet, so we will see how this goes for a very bust 3yr old! Gracie loves her new swingset and she plays on it very often. We go out in the evening to play, since the weather has been so hot!!! I will post some new pics soon and just wanted to let everyone know how we are doing. Please continue to pray for this pregnancy and please pray for Gracie as she will start preschool this Fall. She will be going two days a week from 8:30-11:30 instead of the one day where she got to play all day. This will be a more structured classroom for her. I know that she will learn alot from this, but it will be an adjustment with new teachers and different friends! I can't believe she will be turning three and in just two years it will be time for kindergarden!! Time goes by really fast when you have kids!! We thank God for every minute of it!!!!
