Double Blessed

Is it possible to be double blessed? Yes, I think so!! Yesterday I got a picture from my Sis:
It didn't take me long at all to figure out that there were TWO BABIES inside of her!!! Although some people are still in shock that she continues to have children, I'm just thankful that she's able to. Some women don't have the opportunity to ever become a mother! These babies are a double blessing from our Lord above and we shouldn't be "shocked" that they're now adding #7 & #8 to their squeezable family! God goes above and beyond to prove that he is the Almighty One and we doubt him, why?!

I was telling a friend yesterday that I'm officially convinced (not that I wasn't convinced before, but this just proves that it's a perfect name with a perfect meaning) that we chose Jayden's name for a reason, because it means "God has heard" & he sure has!! I was also telling her that we can't and NEVER will replace Jaron Truth, but it's extremely exciting to know that she will get her 7th & 8th huggable, squeezable child at the same time!

I'm beyond excited for her, my Brother-in-Love and my nieces and nephews!! No matter the genders, I just ask for prayers that they will be healthy babies!!


God Bless

37 Weeks!!

THE COUNTDOWN OFFICIALLY BEGINS!!

We are officially 37 weeks today!!! God has blessed us so very much on this journey of this little life inside me! I've been having inconsistent contractions since last Tuesday and my doctor has told me that she feels Jayden will more than likely be here in the next couple of weeks!! He's dropping more and more each day and even though it's become uncomfortable for me to walk or sleep or actually even sit, I know it's all going to be worth it when he gets here!!

I had to have blood work done last week to test for preecalmpsia, because my blood pressure was higher than normal and my feet have become more swollen, I should have those results back today, please say a prayer that if I do have it, they just put me on bed rest until Jayden decides to come, not that they (the doctors) choose when he comes!

I also ask for prayers for my Hubbers, he's been so patient through this whole process, and he's had to endure a lot from me with my mood swings and what not. This is both so very new to us, and even though we say we're ready....I'm not completely sure that we are! (lol) He's my gift from God (without a doubt) and I know that every time I tell him "um I'm having contractions" he freaks just a little bit, but through it all, he stays as calm as he can be and for that I am thankful.

Also, here's a little show of pics we had done by our FAVORITE photographer!! ;)

Mommy & Baby

I received this from a friend yesterday on Facebook. She had tagged me in it. I loved it so much I have shared it with everyone I know on Instagram, here, with my husband too!

I do pray often that the Lord keeps both Jayden & I safe on this journey, and I pray that you continue to support our decisions, whether it be me not doing any pain meds, or our parenting.

I have about 6-7 weeks left and I know that Brady and I are thrilled! Never would we have imagined being in this alone, God has been with us this whole time. Guiding us through the happy and sad times.

But through it all, he's taught us to be thankful for what we do have.

For you created my inmost being;

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you

when I was made in the secret place.

When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me

were written in your book

before one of them came to be.

Psalm 139: 13-16

God Bless You.

Laughing & Learning

Last night Brady & I sat down and enjoyed a little laughing a learning about labor and what not. It was so very interested and we laughed the whole time!! We got these DVDs from http://www.laughandlearn.com/. Best investment EVER! We decided to get these DVDs because the package of 3 was cheaper than one 5 week course at the hospital! We have only completed 2 classes and will continue with 2 more tonight. We learned all about the preliminary signs of labor, the 3 actual signs of labor and 1 breathing technique (which was really easy and Brady counted how many times I did it, just like he was supposed to :). I also took notes just in case I forget ;) Seriously, we both enjoyed the first 2 classes on the DVD :)

The following pics are what each DVD looks like!

31 weeks!

I am currently 31 weeks, 4 days :) I'm so excited that in just a few short 9-10 weeks our little boy will be here!! Just from this pic above, the lady doing my sono yesterday said that she thinks he'll have my cheeks! Granted this is that great of a pic, but while he was moving around yesterday on the screen, I could tell that she may be right!
When I was little, I had some cheeks on me, so if he has my cheeks and everything thing else is daddy, I'm totally ok with that ;)

Don't worry, this is my last time to wear that shirt! lol

Tomorrow we will be having my first baby shower here and I CAN NOT WAIT!! But we have to decorate tonight, so my 2 favorite moms are coming to help (my mom & my mom-in-love ;)

The feeling inside...

I absolutely love the feeling inside. Jayden is moving more and more these days...and if you could see my tummy, you'd see a my tummy almost vibrate in a way. It's hard to explain, but if you're a mom, then you know EXACTLY what I mean! One day soon I'm going to get a video of this little person moving inside and you'll see how active he is!! And I love every bit of it! Oh I so can't wait!

Happy 4th of July!

In celebration of today being July 4th, I decided to do a little something with my finger nails!

Today we give thanks to those who have fought to give us freedom. They have sacrificed time with their time and sometimes their lives so that we can enjoy the freedom to celebrate our God freely, to celebrate spending time with family and friends & to simply enjoy being free to do our own thing!

Take a moment, thank God for blessing us with men & women who are willing to serve our country diligently, pray for the ones still fighting and thank the ones who are still here.

"Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better." -unknown
