Thank you all for the well wishes. We are so shocked and excited. We pray for a healthy full term baby. If love is enough it will happen. I will go for my first official appointment next week to do more blood work, fill out insurance forms, and go over medical history. The following week I will have my first ultrasound and appointment with the doctor. I will have a regular doctor and a high risk specialist on board too. I believe the plan is to see the high risk specialist once a month. I will have another scheduled C section. The plan is the deliver at St. Luke's in The Woodlands. I've already had sets of blood work and the results have came back great. All my levels are rising "beautifully" per the doctor.
I will probably update here so I'm not asked the same questions over and over again - you know who you are ;) And right now we don't know anymore than what I've stated above.
Boy Name : Truett Allen
Girl Name : Ricky refuses to have one but I LOVE Sophie Hope (he doesn't love it)
I also do not want to find out if it's a boy or girl until we have him or her but Ricky wants to.
We've tried to explain to the kids but they don't really understand. Actually I think they do but when Madi states she wants another baby sissy, Ricky is sure she mean to say bubby :) Last night she did tell me that I have a baby in my tummy and it's her bubba. Without missing a beat she told me it was a baby bubby and his name was Jesus. How sweet is that?
--------------------------------------------------
The kids are doing really well in school. Madi is blowing us away with the school work she is bringing home. Yesterday I asked her if they were learning the letter C and she said yes and it was like camel. She also comes home singing new songs all the time. When I ask her what her friends names are, she tells me their names are "friends". She loves her teachers Ms. Paula and Ms. Christy and it's really cute to hear her say.
Gracie Ann is talking so well. I couldn't be more proud of her. She seems to say her S a little weird but I don't correct her right now because I want her to be confident in speaking and not have her worry. She is still my little worrier but she is really maturing and blossoming right now. There is a confidence about her that I can only hope continues to get stronger.
Brody's vocabulary is wonderful! It has always been stronger but he is asking more questions in full sentences and you can understand what he says about 98% of the time. We are still struggling in some areas but I'm interested to see where we will be at the end of the year.
Ricky is doing well. School and work consume most of his life. One of his classes ends in about 2 weeks so it will free up some time. He has a lot of vacation left that he has planned to take during the holidays so that will be nice.
I've been busy with school too and next month will start my 6 days a week classes until November and then 5 days a week until December. I really love my Psychology class. It's the most interesting class I've taken to date. I have a huge test on Saturday in the class. I have to know the parts of the brain and what they do along with some other things.
We STILL have the puppies. It rained all last weekend so we didn't have a chance to get them homes. This weekend is the weekend though. They are currently going through a bag of food every 3 days! Yikes it's expensive!
I'll update soon!
