Let's go WVU!

Week 17

Week 16

Week 15

It's a........

At 12 weeks I had genetic testing done, which is something all high-risk pregnancies need to go through. I had the same testing with the boys however, they have since perfected the test and they can tell the sex of the baby from the bloodwork. I received the call from the nurse the next week. Everything was negative, thank goodness! She told me she had the sex but wasn't able to tell me, that she'd have to fax the results to my Dr. office. I was ok with it and being patient but Brian and my Dad on the other hand were soo impatient. They were cracking me up with all the text messages about how I needed to go to the Dr. office and demand the results. The nurse did finally call about an hour later and said she received the fax. I asked her to write it down and I'd be right there to pick it up. I was good! I didn't open it, although I was tempted. I picked up the boys and drove home to Brian. I was too nervous to open it so I told him to. We counted to 3 and he ripped it open. As soon as I saw it I gasped and screamed at the same time. Brian had the cutest little boy smile on his face. We hugged and were super excited the rest of the night. We can't believe we are having a little girl! We knew we were done after 3 kids, no matter what the sex was, but now we feel complete. It's an amazing feeling! We can't wait for her to get here and meet her big brothers.

Our miracle

Officially announcing our miracle. We are so excited and feel extremely blessed. God has given us our miracle, without the use of any infertility drugs nor assistance of the Dr. We had been trying for 8 months but were very surprised when I woke up on 7/23 and had a positive pregnancy test. We were shocked that after all the trouble we had the first time that we were able to get pregnant on our own. We scheduled our first Dr. apt for 8/13. We knew that it would be a good day because it was Brian's Mom's birthday and we knew she'd be looking down on us. We went to the apt, thinking we were 7 weeks along but to our complete surprise we found out we were actually 11 weeks. What?!? How could that be? How could we have been a month further than we thought? They did another ultrasound and did confirm it. After being in disbelief we soaked it all in. We are due 3/3. We couldn't wait to get home to tell the boys. Of course they don't understand but they loved saying "baby" with us. I think we laughed the rest of the night.

First time fishing

Last weekend we took the boys on their first fishing trip. They watched intently as G pop put the lines together and as Daddy put the bait on the hooks. They weren't quite sure how to hold the fishing pole but once they got the hang of it they were loving it. We let them put their line out and bring it back in. It was adorable because they thought there were catching "fishys" but it was actually their minnows each time. They were very proud of themselves. They now like to go fishing in the bathtub.

Are you ok?

A couple weeks ago we were eating dinner at Mom & Dad's house and Evan started to cough on his food a little bit. Gavin stopped eating and starting patting Evan's back while saying "ok? ok?" We were all amazed! We had never seen them do that. It was beautiful actually.
