April 24, 2009

Okay, I know it's been a while since I've updated our blog but for those who know me, I like to do things in order and I was really having a hard time bringing myself to update without posting all the past events that have taken place since June. But, I've decided to let it go, recap a little and start fresh.

So, as most of you know we found out in October that we are expecting again. This is truly a miracle as we had really decided to leave it in God's hands and enjoy life abundantly as he gives it. We will be welcoming our little girl Olivia Faith in just a few more weeks. This pregnancy has been a true test of not only my physical strength but a test of our faith as we have patiently and anxiously taken one week at a time. We are so thankful that having Annie and Thomas has allowed us to take in and appreciate each new day with our baby even more. Above is a 3-D picture of Olivia taken two weeks ago. She's all smashed up against mommies tummy but I think we can already see she looks a little bit like her daddy:)
Tracy was laid off his job at SKT in December and has been able to stay at home and take care of me while on bed rest. He will graduate from Friends in a couple weeks and will be starting to look for a job soon. So please join us in praying that God will provide something that will not only support us financially but will allow him time at home with the family.

SOOO great to hear from you! I was getting ready to call cause I hadn't heard anything new in a while! We are continuing to pray for Tracy's job and little Olivia's safe arrival! Are you keeping busy?

Hey, sweetcakes!... I'm so happy that you let go of your "orderliness" to just get something posted. And what a sweet thing to have this nearly perfect picture of her little face.

Hang in there just another month or 2 (I'm going for 38 weeks!) ('course I don't have to just lie there!)

You've done a great job already of being Olivia's caretaking parents. Good thing she has been compliant and has stayed right there in that womb and let God get her ready to come out, come out to play!

Love ya!
