About Me

Texas, United States
I am happily married to Ellis. We were married on May 9th of 2009 (the best day of my life). I am a nurse in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). Ellis is currently in school full time finishing up his basics and is also working as a care partner at the hospital. He plans to attend nursing school. On December 19th of 2010 we were blessed with our son, Gavin. Gavin was with us for 11 short days (that we are extremely grateful for) before he passed away. He is now with our Father in Heaven, where we look forward to seeing him again someday. We are currently expecting our second baby, a little girl. She is due in May of 2012. We have a chocolate lab named Sadie and a yellow lab named Lucky. They are both a little over two years old and a lot of fun. I enjoy learning more about God, traveling, shopping, and spending time with my husband,friends,and family. We love God and know we are blessed beyond measure.

13 Weeks!





Hope everyone's week is getting off to a good start. We had a great week-end and a great beginning to our week. My parents were in town through the week-end and left this morning. It was so great to see and spend time with them. We didn't do a whole lot other than play lots of Phase 10, but it was nice and relaxing. We are so blessed to have all of Ellis' family close, but I would love to have my family closer. I tried to convince my parents to move here while they were visiting, but I don't think I was very successful. Maybe when the new addition arrives in March the convincing will become easier :).

On Monday we had another doctor's appointment and an ultrasound. The ultrasound was great. It is so amazing how much he or she has changed in the last few weeks. Today you could actually see the legs, arms, hand, nose, and the facial profile. It was so awesome. I am getting the frequent ultrasounds to make sure that my cervix isn't shortening. If that happens it can cause preterm labor. So far my cervix is measuring longer than normal which is great. We also heard the heartbeat again today. I think I will always love hearing that sound. Hopefully at our next appointment which is in two weeks we will find out if we are having a boy or a girl. God is so good. I don't know how anyone can have this experience and not believe in God.
I hope everyone has a great week. Enjoy the pictures!
Love,
Melissa
