Angels

It's a BOY!!!

We are so excited for this little guy! Baby Jack Jack!!

This is how I told Nate...
(this is a song from one of Nate's favorite Jack Johnson songs, "Angel")

This is how we told the family...

At Haven's birthday party, the Big Sister shirt was the last present she opened :)

We could not be more excited! We've been pretty quiet because I had a lot of issues after I had Haven. I didn't know if I was 'broken'. We just didn't know if I had healed. My Dr does such a good job at reassuring me every appointment that everything is ok. I get an ultrasound every appointment and he does a thorough check just to make sure we're good. He saved my life after Haven. I think I'll keep him :) The due date is February 5th, but my Dr is already planning at least a week early. All my babies have to be c-sections. But I like having it planned. I'm juggling work, school, and clinical hours so I'm sure we'll have a better idea of when baby Jack Jack will come depending on my schedules. With all of that, I need it planned :)

I feel so blessed. With my scare after I had Haven, my Dr was taking me back into surgery and told me that if I didn't stop bleeding, he'd have to take my uterus. There was that moment that Nate and I had to be ok with having only one child. Then not knowing if I was even healed enough... I just feel so blessed. I'm still pretty nervous. I feel like I keep waiting for something to happen, but we're happy and healthy! I feel so blessed that the Lord trusts me enough to keep these little Angels and raise them.

Wisdom

"I believe that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. People CHANGE so that you can learn to LET GO. Things go wrong so that you APPRECIATE them when they're right. You BELIEVE lies so you eventually learn to TRUST no one but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so better things can FALL TOGETHER."-Marilyn Monroe

Change

There been times that I thought I wouldn't last for long
Now think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming but I know
A change gonna come, oh yes it will
-Sam Cooke
