Baby Kicks and More!

18 weeks! While we were in Greenville, we felt the baby kick! For the past couple of weeks, I have been feeling a funny "popcorn" feeling. Well, Saturday afternoon while I was relaxing, I felt a pretty big pop! I put my hand on my stomach and felt the baby kick about 4 times! Steven has only gotten to feel him/her 2 times so far (It seems that as soon as I call him over to feel, he/she stops)! It has been the most amazing feeling. I thank God for all of these punches and kicks!

Ava's first birthday! She is precious!!!!

Anna (my cousin), Chris, and Ava are so special to us!

17 Weeks!

We are sorry that it has taken us so long to update! Life has been busy with Steven's new job, and school starting back. Everything is going well, and we are just so thankful for our little one!

I am 17 weeks...almost half way there! We are so excited and continuously thank God for this amazing blessing! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers during this time!

Peanut's Heartbeat

Today I heard Peanut's heartbeat for the first time...
It was AWESOME... It was so neat to hear my baby
inside me and know that God has His hand in the making...
I feel completely blessed going into my 12th week and appreciate all of your prayers...
The first trimester has flown by and we thank God everyday for this wonderful blessing!
