Jan Baby Update
On Sun (2/1) we will 15 WEEKS away from the birth of our precious blessing Sarah Beth! We are beyond excited. Sean and I are in the process of signing up for birthing classes through Baptist right now. We are also in the process of house hunting (which we could use some major prayers for this whole process at this point)! Please continue to pray that our precious daughter will continue to grow and develop like she should.

Gatlinburg Nov 08
I am almost 15 weeks! It seems crazy to me at times that I have made it this far. Sean and I feel so blessed to know that in six months our little jellybean will be here. My next doctor's appointment is Dec 2. We are hoping that my doctor will allow us to schedule the big ultrasound the week of Christmas. (I will be 19 weeks Christmas Eve). We dont really care if it is a boy or girl as long as the baby is healthy.
Sean and I spent 3 nights in Gatlinburg! We realized this may be our last vacation before little Jellybean makes and appearance and we had a great time. We went to several places we visited back in March and then some new places we had not been before.
Sean built a fire in the fireplace all 3 nights we were in Gatlinburg.
Another view of our room. This is our second trip to Gatlinburg and we have stayed at the Rocky Water Motor Inn both times. We love it. Its not a fancy hotel but it works for us. Not to mention that all of the rooms in this hotel overlook a stream.

10 weeks and counting!
Praise the Lord I am 10 WEEKS today!!!!!
I am so very excited to be at this point. After all of the miscarriages I never thought I would be sitting here praising God for 10 weeks of pregnancy. Sean kept saying it would happen and I didnt believe him. Nor, did I believe that the Lord would grant me (us) this miracle.
So far things are going pretty good. I have some moments of spotting. But nothing has come of it. I am still on strict restrictions until I hit the 12 week mark. I think even after that there will be some restrictions, but I am fine with that as long as there is a healthy baby come May.
People keep telling Sean to take good care of me. All I can say is that he has been GREAT about everything. Sean has been doing pretty much ALL of the housework with the exception of a couple loads of laundry here and there. He is doing a large majority of the grocery shopping and the errand running. He has even made me several meals in bed, just so that I can relax and not be on my feet. I dont think there is really anything else he can do to take care of me. He should win the award for Husband of the Year! He is doing all of this in addition to his regular work. For those of you close to us, know that he has had some very long weeks and weekends here lately. If you see Sean, please give him a word of encouragement. Bless his heart there are still 30 weeks left of this pregnancy and there will probably be many, many, many more things that he will have to do for me and the house. I love Sean so much and there is no way I could do this without him!
Have a blessed week!

Our MIRACLE!!!!!!!!
If you notice the baby is holding a balloon. Proof that it is Sean's child!
Well folks, it looks like God is still a God of miracles. Sean and I are expecting a little blessing on May 20, 2009! It has been quite a journey this far.
I was a little late and decided to just wait a couple of days and see what happens. I took my first HPT on 9/8 and it was positive. At that point based on my history I told Sean give it a couple of days and it will be over. I didnt believe that the Lord would bless us with a healthy pregnancy. On Thurs 9/11 I took another HPT and it was positive, so I called my Dr and they had me come in for round of beta's pn 9/12. They called back and sure enough I was pregnant my level was 780. Now I had to endure the weekend to wait to take round 2 of beta's. I did throw Sean a surprise b-day party that Fri night. Mon morning I went back in and they called that afternoon to say that my numbers were 3060. My numbers had more than tripled and all we needed was for the numbers to have doubled. On 9/23 I had an ultrasound done and the baby was measuring 3/4 of a centimeter and 5 weeks and 6 days. I went back for my 8 week ultrasound on 10/7 (the day before my birthday) and the baby was measuring right at 8 weeks!
We are so excited to have this little blessing and very appreciative of the friends and family who have prayed for us and with us so far on this journey. We are not out of the woods just yet. Once I reach about 13 weeks, we should be good for the rest of the pregnancy. At this point I have some restrictions as far as what I can eat or drink. I am not allowed to exercise. I am hoping that once I reach the 2nd trimester that some of the restrictions will be lifted. Please pray for Sean and I as we take this journey.
As we get farther into this I will be posting more pictures and updates. Thank you for all of your prayers. We love ya'll very much and feel very blessed to have all of you as friends!

The start of fall
I didnt realize how long it has been since I have posted on our blog. Life has been crazy and busy to say the least.
I started back to work on Aug 1st. The first week of so was busy trying to get things ready for the kids to come back to school. My first full week with students was crazy and full of drama to say the least. I am very grateful that things have calmed down and everyone is back in the swing of things. Choir is back in full swing and I am loving every minute of it.
Sean has started a new position within our church (and I couldnt be more proud of him!!!). He is the creative director of children's worship. Aug was a slow month for him, but this month has been absolutely busy for him which is great.
I have to say in our house right now the Lord is teaching us to trust in Him and to have hope. I am not at a point where I can elaborate on this yet, but it has been hard. We have prayed harder and longer than we have in a very long. We are very grateful for close friends and family who are walking through all of this with us. We continue to ask you to pray for us as we make decisions about what the Lord would have us to do. We are still hoping to adopt sometime in the near future. At this point we are saving as much as we can and waiting on the Lord to show us what direction we need to take.
I know this is a short update, but I will try and post more later!
