ISABELLA

Happy 2nd Birthday to our precious, sweet Isabella! I can't believe that it has already been two years! I will catch up on posts soon, and post some pics from her family birthday party!

Thank you Lord for the privilege of being her parent, and taking care of her! I am standing in awe of Him and His creations today!!

It's a baby ...

You may know that ever since we told Isabella that we are going to be having another baby she has said that it is a "baby sister!" Absolutely every time, that was her answer, without exception!

One night we were laying on the floor talking and playing (Jason was at church), and I asked her how she knew that it is a baby sister, and without skipping a beat she looked at me and said "Jesus." I said, "are you telling Mommy that Jesus told you that it is a baby sister?" "Yes Mommy," she said!

I think that I was so much more eager to find out this time because she was absolutely so set on a baby sister. We snuck and had an ultrasound at work one day during week 14, and we were not quite able to tell yet, although it was really great to see the baby at that point. We could see everything--the valves of its heart, ventricles in its brain--absolutely everything except a good shot at the area in question!!

So at 16 weeks we snuck and had another peek at work, and this time she was totally able to tell without any question that.... Isabella was right and it is a baby sister!! We totally and honestly did not care wether it was a boy or girl, but now that we know for sure, I am so excited for Isabella to have a sister. As much as I love my brother, I always wanted a sister too! All of these years of hearing stories about my Mom and all of her sisters, we are are so excited! And I really was not looking forward to trying to explain to Isabella if she had possibly heard Jesus wrong--how exactly I would have done that I am glad that I did not have to find out!!

I have an adorable video of Isabella saying that she thinks that it is a sister, I will download it as soon as I figure out how too!

The last month or so...

Whew! The last month around here has been really busy, that sounds so cliche'! September was full of tons of fun times; I got the stomach bug twice, had to spend 2 weekends in bed, and my Mom was sick and had to be hospitalized!! Thank you Lord, we all made it through it, and my Mom is on the mend from her pneumonia!
