cat's out of the bag...

Well, it's  been a slow trickle of information, but I decided it was time to make it official.  Sawyer's first birthday is Sunday and I can hardly believe it!  His party is Saturday evening and I CAN NOT wait to share all the details:)  I should have plenty more time to update with pics from the party and a few other things next week.  I've been swamped with getting things together for his party and quite honestly have been too tired to blog much in the last couple weeks.


So, needless to say, Sawyer's party is not the secret I was letting out today;)  It's official.  We are 10 weeks PREGNANT.  OH MY GOSH!  Am I really writing those words???  I will have to do another post in the next few days to tell you all the details, because yes, they are crazy and I can not even believe it myself!  I will shamelessly ask for prayer:)


Here's a little snap shot of our peanut.  Which by the way, I'm already calling it "he" because what else could it be but a boy??  Jerrod's still holding out hope that it's a girl, but I think I might fall off the operating table if they pull that sucker out and say, "It's a girl!"  No, we are not finding out.  Yes, it's really annoying for a lot of people.  But hey, after all we've been through, I think it's time for a surprise this go around.  Afterall, let's be honest, I have no where to put this child for a while anyways, so no need to paint a room or get a nursery ready.  He or she will sleep snuggly in our room for the first little bit:)


Cooper informed me that it's probably a boy because "he" already has a mohawk.  Lovely;)

  3. Great news! Congratulations!

    12 years ago when I was pregnant, my husband and I decided NOT to find out either which drove a lot of people nuts. Everyone thought we were having a boy but all were pleasantly surprised when I delivered a GIRL! I applaud you for not finding out. My daughter has been, hands down, the best surprise ever.

    I have 2 sons and found out with the first, but kept the second a surprise. And I loved not knowing! Having that 'moment' is so special!!! If we were to have another, I wouldn't find out. It's so exciting! :)

  17. Congrats on you new little one on the way! What a precious, exciting time. =)

    I'm enjoying reading your blog. I feel like you help give me hope, even though I don't know you. Your words are a blessing and so are your (4) little ones.

    I'm just a couple of months ahead of you. And I know what you mean with the boys... =) I am now on my third little boy. lol. But you never know, God did give me Madeline, maybe he will give you a little girl too. I hope that for you.But, if not, you make the cutest little boys ever!

    Congrats!

    Much Love,
