9 weeks!!!

our baby is now the size of a grape :)

a little prayer request...

I have found (in the most amazing ways) that having a blog means having my own personal team prayer warriors!! Thank you to all my God-fearing readers out there, that have been so prayerful and supportive....well i have another prayer request...My parents were divorced this year after 26 years of marriage...and this will be our first holiday season not "together"... I just worry about my mom and dad, and just pray that they can focus on the fact that we are celebrating the birth of our savior and to continue to love him as much as he loves us and know that he has the ultimate plans for our lives! Love you mommy and daddy...

"I know what i am doing. I have it all planned out- plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for"
Jeremiah 29:11 (the message)

just something i came across...

beautiful homebirth slideshow...by the new york times!!! I feel very at peace about the dicistion we have made to use the midwives at OU this time...but so looking forward to a birth at home someday!

Baby and i have made it to 8 weeks!!!... AND COUNTING!!!

WE SAW THE HEART BEAT!!!!! Our little bean is HUGE compaired to the ultrasound we had just 10 days ago!! Can you tell that baby is waving at us!!(at least thats what im telling myself it is doing;) we were praying to see a healthy flicker of a heart beat...we didn't see a flicker we saw a full blown heart beat!!! It was so awesome!! My midwife said that the baby and the bag of waters looks completely healthy...with NO sign of miscarriage!!! Praise Jesus!!! Thank you everyone for your prayers!!!!

the start of my cloth diaper obsession....

My first cloth diapers!!! the two newborn ones were giving to me from my dear friend Amy, and i got the large one on craigs list...these particular ones are called gDiapers which are great, because they can be used as a 100% cloth diaper, by putting a traditional pre-fold inside the gDiaper OR....for more convenience (which we will use for babysitters, church nursery, and trips) you can buy biodegradable liners to go inside the gDiaper to just throw away once soiled! AWESOME HUH?!!

baby and i have made it to 7 weeks!!!...
