Well . . . .

Baylee's wish came true. We are having another little GIRL!!!!!! We are so excited and can't wait to meet our new little princess.

Gender Ultrasound & Drag Racing

Well, I go tomorrow to have the big ultrasound. Sooooo excited. Keep your fingers crossed for Baylee that it is a girl. They will also be doing bloodwork for genetic testing and routine bloodwork as well. We have been very, very busy. Between baseball and dance I'm not sure which day of the week it is.

Me and the kids packed up last Saturday and drove to Diboll to watch my Dad race his car. Here is a video. His car is a maroon 1971 Buick Regal.

Baylee's Secret

The other day Bay, Brad and myself were in BRU (Babies R Us). I was shopping for something very specific (to be mentioned later). As we passed a very cute pink outfit Bay stated "this sure would have been cute on our baby girl that died." My heart absolutely fell to the floor. She sooo wants a sister. That's when I decided to tell her a secret. This is how the conversation went:

J: I have something to tell you but you can't tell anyone it is a BIG SECRET.
B: What is it?
J: Mommy is going to have a baby. I have a baby in my tummy right now.
B: Oh my GOSH!!!!! Can we tell Daddy??????

You just got to love her.

So, the news is out. Ryan and I are expecting our 4th child. My due date is 2/2/2010 but I will have a scheduled c-section in January 2010. I have been terribly sick. This is new for me. I haven't experienced morning sickness (or all day sickness) before. I have seen the Dr. twice for medicine. The above item we were getting at BRU was "preggy pops." They are candies that supposedly help with the naseau. Hopefully when I hit the 12th week mark it will subside.

I miscarried at 10 weeks back in Feb. I am currently 10 weeks and 3 days today. Please say a prayer for our new little peanut!!!!

Sorry it has been so long . . .

I know, I know. It has been awhile since I posted. We have been extremely busy with baseball this year. Preslee's team the Buckeyes had a great year. Preslee is in PW Majors. A division above where he should be according to his age. Ryan wanted to coach with Chip, the same guy he coached with in the Fall. His son moved up a division so Ryan decided to move Pres up as well. Pres had fun.

Bay is on the Sun Devils and has coach Brandon as her coach (the same coach she had in the fall). The SD are actually playing for the Championship next week against the Gators. Baylee has done extremely well this season and has made some great plays. She has moved up to play pitcher and absolutely loves it.

I'm so proud of both of my baseball players.

School is almost out and summer is here. My Mom will be keeping all three kids this summer. Lord bless her.

I will post pictures soon.

Sad News

Just wanted to let everyone know that I lost the baby on Monday. I started bleeding and they did an ultrasound and found that he/she stopped growing at 8 weeks (I was 10 weeks). My D & C is scheduled for today.

I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Ryan and I have been thru so much together. This is just another step. I believe we will try to get pg again in the future after all wounds (physically and mentally) have healed. The kids (especially Ba) do not understand. It is hard to explain something to a 5 yr old when I don't even understand why it happened.

Please say a prayer for us. I will update in a day or two.

Joy

My Legs Are Bored

The other day my Mom asked Ba to pick up all her toys that were laying in the floor. Ba said, as she was sitting on the edge of the bed, "Memaw, my legs are just too bored, I can't do it."

Today, my legs are bored as well as my entire body. Can I go home and crawl back into bed?????

Just for Fun

We have decided if the baby is a girl then we will name her Mallee Amanda after both mine and Ryan's Grandma's.

If it is a boy we like Conlee. But, we have yet to agree on a middle name. Does anyone have any suggestions for us?
