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.

IT'S A BOY!







Hey! Hope everyone is having a good week. We have had an exciting week here. On Monday we went to the doctor for a doctor's appointment and an ultrasound. We had the ultrasound first on found out that we will be having a BOY. We are really excited. I think he knew that he was being watched because he was putting on a performance. He "waved" at us a few times, put his hand on his chin like he was thinking, and he was moving his legs all around. He has a really sweet profile. Now when I look at his profile I think he looks like a boy. We have been thinking about names for a boy and we are almost positive that his name will be Gavin Isaac Spencer. It seems more real now that we know he is a boy and he is not an "it" anymore. It is so amazing how we both can be in love with him already and we haven't even met him yet. The doctor said that he is measuring perfect for his due date and that everything with him looks good. I think that I have posted before that we are watching my cervix really close to make sure that it doesn't shorten and that I don't have to have a cerclage and go on bedrest. In the last two weeks my cervix has shortened by 0.5cm. Right now it is 3.5cm long and as long as it stays greater than 3cm we won't have to do anything. The doctor wasn't too concerned. She said that we will continue to monitor it every 2 weeks and that it could be because I had two different ultrasound techs and they could of measured a little different. It does make me a little nervous, but I know that God will take care of both of us. Other than that I have been looking and thinking about how we want to decorate his room. It is exciting to know he is a boy so that we can start planning for him. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
Have a good week-end.
