First Haircut

So we took Ava to get her first haircut today. She was so good. She looked so big sitting in that chair with the cap on. The lady gave us a certificate with some of her hair in a little bag. We did not cut very much off, just evened it up a bit. Justin would not let her get it cut short. Ava is starting to say more sentences. Her new thing is she runs around the house and screams "I'm running." Yes, she is for sure my daughter. She is pretty fast too.We got her a TV and DVD player for her room and her Mimi got her a cute table and chairs. She has really enjoyed playing in there. Justin and I are doing well. We have planned a much needed vacation to Jamacia. We are just thanking God that he has blessed us with eachother and our precious Ava. We are praying God lets us know what path to take as far as extending our family. We want to embrace the plans he has for our family. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Thank God for Ava

Well yesterday was the start to a long 24 hours. I started bleeding yesterday morning and went in for a sonogram. There was still a heartbeat yesterday morning. After that however the bleeding began to get worse along with pain. This morning we repeated the sonogram and there was no longer a sac or heartbeat. There are not words to describe how I feel right now. I am going to deal with this the best I can and just put my faith in God that he knows what he is doing. I would have loved to have another baby but am beginning to think I should just enjoy the one I have. I am emotionally spent with the past 8 years of trying to have babies. Don't think I can handle anymore losses. Thank you all so much for the support you have shown us. We are planing on soaking up all the time with the miracle we already have. God reminds me how lucky I am to have such a special little girl.

Great News

So I have been kinda holding off on telling people but I had a sonogram and saw our baby and the little heartbeat today. I had the transfer done on May 12th and found out I was pregnant a few weeks ago. I have been very nervous since the last time we ended up losing the baby. I was so relieved to see that little tadpole and flicker of a heart today. It is truely overwhelming to see your baby growing inside you. I feel so lucky that things have gone so well. I have been feeling great and not been sick at all. I had a very easy pregnancy with Ava and things are starting the same way. I feel so good I have a hard time believing I am pregnant. I thank God for this absolute miracle. He has really given me some peace this time. Praise God he has chosen me to be the earthly mother to another one of his children. Thanks everyone for their prayers and support. Justin and I love all our family and friends and feel so fortunate to have such a support system. Hope to show you pictures of a growing belly over the next nine months.
