We're moving! No, not back to CA!

Well what can I say, it's almost the end of March, today's the first day of Spring, and surprise surprise, we got more SNOW! Just when we thought it was finally going to start to warm up, this is what we woke up to this morning.

 

It's great to hear people up here say, "Washington's great!  You'll love the 4 seasons!"  REALLY?!?!?!  We've been here almost 6 months and all I've seen is WINTER!  So do I love living in Washington? No comment! Ask me again in July, maybe by then the snow will be gone and I'll get to see the sun.  I think Noah's getting the worst end of this weather too.  In the few months we've been up here, he's been sick more times than his whole first year of life.

Plus, we really need to get some sun on that white skin of his! (Yes that is one healthy belly!)

Well on the up side of things, we are moving.  Most of you have heard the problems we're having with mold in our apartment. Which we pray is not the cause of all of Noah's colds.  We found a house about 2 miles away to rent. It's in a great neighborhood and gives us more room for when the new baby comes.  So if anyone wants to fly up to beautiful Washington at the end of April to help us move, I'm sure you'll get to see some snow!  I will mail out our new address and phone number when we finally do make the move.  As for the baby, no news yet.  I go for the follow-up ultrasound sometime in May.  We just keep praying the cysts will be gone by then.  Everything we've researched tells us 90% of them do go away.  The other reassuring part is they didn't find any other abnormalities with the baby's measurements.  I guess doctors typically worry when there is more than one thing that comes up off in their readings.  Thank you to those we know have been praying for our little guy.  We truly appreciate it!  Take care and I hope to send some pictures of the sun soon!

It's a BOY!!!!!

Hi Everyone!

We just thought we'd share our wonderful news with you.  We, of course, are having another boy!  Yes, we are very excited.  Since both boys will be so close in age, it will be nice to have them hopefully enjoy the same things.  Although from the amount of destruction our 14 month old causes on our house now, it's scary to think what two will bring.  We're still at a lose for names.  Jason's pretty convinced we should name him Tank Bubba Milton!  I'll take any suggestions.  My due date is still August 8th. We do have a prayer request though (not to put a damper on things.)  During the ultrasound today, they did find two small cysts on the baby's brain.  My OB said it's nothing to be concerned over.  They want to do a repeat ultrasound 10 weeks from now to check the cysts.  According to my doctor, 99% of them go away.  We have no idea what happens with the other 1% (and didn't really have the guts to ask.)  Jason and I are trying to stay pretty positive this time around.  (Most of you remember Noah's false positive test for Spina Bifida.) I will update you all again once we get the results back from that ultrasound.  I do have ultrasound pictures from today but didn't get a chance to upload them.  For now, we're going to pray hard and enjoy the last half of this pregnancy!  We hope everyone is doing well and hope to talk to you soon!
