I guess I should have never...

Told God, really just encouraged Him, that I did not want girls because now we will have 3!! The good thing is that she is healthy and moving around like crazy. Kaylee will be devastated. She told her teacher the other day, "that even the dog wants a boy. Reese is the only one that wants a girl". So, I guess I will not throwing away any of our pretty little dresses and it will be cheaper this way. Oh, well. I always have said that God knows how to complete families and I guess that means no little boys allowed.

It's a ...

healthy baby!! They doctor said it is a boy...or a girl. No matter the baby looks healthy and is right on size. However, because of the blood pressure medication I am on, I will have to have monthly ultrasounds so more than likely it won't stay a surprise. The girls are really excited and it is so amazing how much you can see. We thank God for the blessings of another healthy baby.

Brant Lee

Brant Lee was born at 1801 after lots of drama for the mama. He was sunny side up and didn't like to be turned and had to be removed with forceps. He weighed 5# and was 18 1/4 inches long. One of his great aunts called him a 5# sack of flour. Thought that was very observant. He struggled for a little bit with his breathing and he may have to be taught to eat but he's slowly figuring it out. Tomorrow we have our sonogram and I am worried that Reese is expecting us to actually have the baby tomorrow. Oh, on a side note... Christy and Randy's anniversary is today also. I will try to post pics tomorrow but I forgot my camera today.

Prayer Request

I am asking that you pray for my sister. She is 36 weeks pregnant with her first baby and the baby's heartrate is dropping some. They are planning on delivering the baby tomorrow by c-section or at least induce and see how the baby handles it. My sister is not wanting visitors and it is very hard for me. She used to not be like that so instead I am asking people to pray for the two of them. It is so hard for me to stand back, stay home and know that she is hurting. I am her big sister and I should be able to hold herr and tell her that God is in control even when things seem to be out of control.

Getting Focused

Update: Nothing is wrong with my heart, thankfully. My body is just not appreciating being pregnant. Anyways, they have put me on a blood pressure medicine and it has made a world of difference. Next week we have our sonogram. I am excited. It is always fun to "meet" the little thing that keeps kicking you bladder. And no, we do not plan on finding out what it is. We are taking the girls. Kaylee will think it is pretty cool. Not so sure about Reese (who actually has the stomach bug today).

I have had a revelation. It shouldn't be a revelation but a way of life but as I so easily do...I have lost focus. I am so extremely frustrated with my job. Some strong thoughts actually come to mind. I really think it is with nursing in general and a sue happy society but give me a break. So, in saying all of that I have let it drive me nuts. When in actuality I should be focused on the millions of things to be thankful for. I have an amazing husband. I know all of you think you husband is amazing but my husband is out of this world. My children are beautiful and I commonly joke that I wish they weren't so pretty but I am so proud of them in all that they do and they are good kids. I am thankful for a wonderful church and church family. It has been truly amazing and we have so many blessed friends. My parents are great and they take good care of my babies. My in-laws are more than in-laws. They are an extension of my family. And whether or not I like my job, I have one and I have an income. Those are just a few, but I am going to choose to be thankful for what God has blessed me with instead of focused on the one negative in my life. Especially when I actually love what I do.
