Dr. Visit

I had my 19 week 5 day appointment this morning at 8:00. It first began with the ultrasound & then a visit with my Dr. The ultrasound took about 20 minutes. I really enjoyed getting to see all our little one's limbs and organs and making sure everything looked healthy. It took a few minutes to determine the sex, but the verdict is out and we are having a GIRL! Yep, that is right. Trey & I both thought boy for sure. We are still thrilled and a little shocked. We are excited about Ella Joy having a play mate and even praying for them to be best friends. I go back in 5 weeks and will have to repeat the ultrasound. The technician spotted a fluid cyst on her brain. My Dr. is not worried and says this is common. We will just re-check in a few weeks and see if it has closed up. Please pray with us that over the next few weeks this cyst will go away and close up. We trust our Father's hand & plan.

Back from the Beach

My precious family! Love, Love this picture!
She loved some cookies -n-cream ice cream! She usually doesn't eat sweets!

Here I come.

We just returned from the beach. We had a wonderful time. Here are some pictures from our trip. The weather was so very hot! We were grateful to head in for a couple of hours each day. There were record highs at the beach last week. Maybe it was just really hot to me, the pregnant mom.

Summer Fun

Here are some pictures from our summer thus far. We have had a busy start with Vacation Bible School, Volleyball Team Camp, Volleyball Kids' Camp, Trips to the pool and the Zoo. We have enjoyed every minute of the day. Some days have been harder than others, but overall Ella Joy has been a trooper going everywhere with me. She is growing and learning so much each day.

Still Here

We are in the middle of VBS at Briarwood and I am also finishing up volleyball camp with my high school girls. It has been a very busy week. We are enjoying summer and have spent lots of time at Mimi's & Papa's pool. I will post pictures soon of Ella Joy swimming in the pool. I went for a check up the other day. I am 16 weeks and 2 days. We get to find out what we are having on June 29th. I can't believe that I am almost half way there. I feel like time has flown by with this one. We look forward to seeing him or her and checking to make sure they are growing healthy and just to check up on him / her. We are trusting God for a healthy baby and can't wait to hold this new one in our arms. We hope everyone is having a great summer thus far and hope to see some of you!
