Jump, Jump

The boys finally saved up enough of their money to purchase a trampoline with a little help from us! They love it and are constantly asking if friends can come over and jump. We are excited to get to be able to use it more as the weather gets nicer. We are hoping for a nice warm Spring Break! Sorry I had some pictures but for some reason they are not uploading, I will try again later.

Thankful and blessed

I had my specialized sonogram yesterday and received the best news ever!! No cysts on the brain and a normal bowel for our little boy! I can't even begin to thank all of you for your prayers and help, but most of all give praise to our awesome God! He's probably tired of hearing me thanking him, I don't think I have stopped since finding out the news.

I feel so relieved and happy and blessed and free to buy cute little outfits I see or save up on diapers! It is really hard to explain the feelings you go through when you think you are going to lose a baby. I was so afraid to let myself become attached to the baby, because I didn't know how I was going to let him go if I had to, afraid to buy anything because I would be stuck with it and no baby, afraid that I would have to explain to my boys where our baby brother went. It is truly one of the worst times I have been through and I can't imagine being in others shoes who do have to face these situations, but do not know the Lord, my heart breaks. I am so thankful for the healthy children that I have and will not take them for granted, I am so very lucky. I am also grateful to have great friends who faced similar situations and could relate to the way I felt and always listened to me and reassuring me that God was in control.
Psalm 139 was a great comfort to me.

So thanks to all of you who have been praying, helping, and cooking meals it has meant so much! Sorry this was long and kind of random, but I had a lot to let go!
Here are some pictures of the little guy....
