Getting Closer....

So! I have a sono this Wednesday night! The sonographer will be taking pictures to see if we should all be thinking blue or pink! The complicated part is I am not going to let her share the info with me. The plan is to have a pre-addressed envelope ready to send to Morgan. Once the sonographer has the picture printed that says "Its a ______" she will place it and seal it in the envelope and then I will mail it off to Afghanistan.

I wanted Morgan to have the pleasure and joy of being the first to know. Then he will either call me or skype me (depending on connection) and tell me what we are having! I can't wait! I hope the letter reaches him soon. So far most of our packages that have been sent to him have reached him in about a week.

People keep asking what I "feel" like I am having. My response has been "a baby". I just really don't have a gut feeling on what this baby could be. My prayer all along has been for it to be healthy!

My next doctor appointment is on Oct. 5th. I can't believe I am already 18 weeks along (will be this Tues.)

For an update on Maverick! He is back to his old self. Has little scars on his nose where the snake bit him but I am so thankful that is all he has!

Thanks to everyone for the prayers for my family.
Blessings!

Our Pup Maverick!

So yesterday was a pretty scary day for me! I opened the back door to find my dog Maverick with a very swollen face and neck. He had a spot of dry blood on the top of his nose and I just knew it had to be a rattlesnake bite!!

I wasn't too sure what to do we have had animals bit before but Mav is a little smaller then our usual farm animals. After calling the Vet they said bring him straight in. My mom, dad and twin sister came straight to work to the animal hospital to be with me and Mav. Families are AWESOME!

The Vet suggested I leave him over night and they would start him on IV therapy along with steroids and antibiotics. I was pretty nervous about leaving him but knew he was in good hands. Last night I had a hard time sleeping. With Maverick and Morgan both gone the room was too quiet and still.

I took his blanket it to him this morning and they said the swelling was still pretty bad and that they would be monitoring him another 24 hours. Gosh another night without both of my BOYS!

I just hope he continues to do better and maybe tomorrow will be a better day!

Watching our lil Blessing Grow!

Had a Doctor's visit today. Looks and sounds like everything is going good. Our lil baby's heart beat was right at 155bpm this visit. I can't wait for another sono appointment so I can watch the baby move around! Our next sono will be towards the end of October and we will hopefully find out what we are expecting that day. For some reason lately I have felt like we are having a boy...not sure why! Guess I will have to wait and see.

This week/end is going to be pretty busy. My dad's parents are moving from their town of 62 years (in Higgins) to Canyon. We are all so excited to have them closer.

Also this weekend my parents, sisters and I will be going to the Boys Ranch Rodeo. Its always bitter sweet going out there. I am sure I will visit Stuart's grave site which is always and emotional time (stuartwells.blogspot.com). But I am looking forward to the time with my family.

Blessings!
