Superhero Status

“Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero!”- Marc Brown

 

That's right! Shaw is going to be a brother...a BIG brother! That is him holding the picture of his little brother or sister when he/she was about 8 weeks along! We found out back in June that we were expecting again. Shaw was only about 10 months at the time when we found out so it was obviously a huge surprise, but we are super excited to say the least! We can't wait for this new blessing to arrive and for our kids to grow up so close in age. I am now 14.5 weeks (15 weeks on Sunday) and the expected arrival date is March 3rd. Yesterday the Dr. confirmed there was a strong heart beat with a heart rate of 160 (very close to Shaw's at the same time....another boy?!) so I figured it was time to announce the big news. We have already been praying that this pregnancy will end dramatically different than Shaw's and we will experience everything that comes along with having a full term baby. To say we are scared is an understatement but this was obviously God's plan for our little family, and we know that he will provide our every need. If you wouldn't mind joining us in prayer over the next 6 months that we would have a healthy, full term baby we would greatly appreciate it. So, for the last three months I have been one sick, exhausted momma. Throwing up, all day nausea, headaches, and extreme fatigue have pretty much been my life since the middle of July. With Shaw I threw up all day everyday until about 19 weeks. So far, this pregnancy has been a tad different in that I USUALLY just throw up in the mornings. We are excited, and blessed beyond belief to be on this journey and for our little family to be growing. Like my dad said, "at this pace, y'all will have a whole herd!". Haha...oh dad, not a herd, we are just going for a baseball team (just kidding mom!). Here are some more pictures of our sweet boy aka the new superhero in town during our little photo shoot earlier today.
