28 Weeks!!

Well I have made it to 28 weeks! The risk of miscarriage has significantly reduced now! I had a doctor's appointment this morning and it went great. My weight gain is really good, so I was very happy about that news! Heartbeat was strong and Chloe seems to be growing well. I did measure a little small, but the doctor's didn't seem to be concerned with it all. We have set the amnio for July 25th at 8:00 a.m. and then the c-section will be done on the 26th as long as the lungs are fully developed! I am very excited and it's cool to see how much I have learned through this process. I appreciate all your prayers and ask you to please continue praying that Chloe would develop accordingly, that I would not be anxious and focus on only what is true, and that the pregnancy would continue to go well through the 37th week! I will keep you posted as I continue to have more doctor's appointments. We will be getting an ultrasound on June 9th just to make sure everything is ok with the baby and placenta! Love to everyone!

Mom's Retiring!!

This past Saturday we threw mom a retirement party to honor her and all her years of hard work! It was great success and I know she felt so encouraged in the end! It was great having so many of her friends and family to share the special day together! Way to go Mom!

Growing up!

These two are growing up so quickly! This is cute picture of Sadie and Dakota actually matching with their outfits! I love them so much and I love it that they love each other so much. Dakota just follows Sadie around everywhere she goes. He really wants to be just like her! I am sure the fighting days are coming soon, but the cuteness is cool for now! Love it!

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day! We spent the day at mom and dads and it was great! Daddy's family came over for lunch, so that was a lot of fun. I felt very appreciated and loved as I always do. Sadie and Dakota gave me an adorable pandora charm that says "MOM", so I was excited to add that to my bracelot. My mom also gave me a really cool summer flag to put up in a few weeks! I am so blessed with such a great family and to have learned so much from my wonderful mom!


Sadie's 4th Birthday!!

Sadie had a great day celebrating her birthday! She got to spend it with all her friends and of course Nana, Papa, Nannie, Aunt Manda, and Uncle Thomas would never miss her special day! We had her party at the park and the weather was PERFECT! We couldn't have asked for a better day! She loved her Belle Cake that Nannie made for her and of course she loved all her cool gifts. At the end Daddy put together a fun game for everyone to play, "HUMAN CANDYLAND". This was a big hit and the kids loved playing this game. When you got to the end, you could get your goodie bag from Sadie! We look forward to many more memorable birthday with Sweet Sadie! Thanks so much to all who came out to be a part of the special day!

Happy Fourth Birthday, Sadie!!


I can't believe that Sadie will be four years old in a few hours! She is the light of our life and we love her so very much! The years have gone by so fast and she is so special to us and always will be. She is a great BIG SISTER and we look forward to seeing her grow up with the other little ones! Happy Birthday, Sadie!!!
