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.

Hope everyone's week is going well. Things are going great here. Sunday we went to church and then went to a wedding. Today I went out to lunch with a good friend and tomorrow our life group from church starts up again. We are doing a series called "The God Questions". I am really looking forward to it. We didn't meet over the summer, so it will be nice to get together again.
I'm 14 weeks this week, which is really exciting for me because that means that we are now in the 2nd trimester. I feel like I can take a deep breath and a sigh of relief since the 1st trimester is over. The 1st trimester is when most miscarriages and such happen. I know that things can happen at anytime, but I also have faith and know God is in control. This week our sweet little baby's reproductive system is the site of action. The baby will also start to produce hormones by the end of the week as the thyroid gland begins to function. The palate or roof of the mouth will also be developed by the end of the week. We go back to the doctor on Monday for another ultrasound and visit. This will be an exciting visit because we will be able to find out whether we are having a boy or a girl as long as the baby cooperates. I am so excited to find out what it is so that I can call him or her by a name and begin picking things out.
Hope everyone has a good week. If I don't post before I will definately post on Monday after our doctor's appointment and hopefully I will have some exciting news to share.
