Houston.....WE'VE GOT KICKING!!!

This little Pea Pod has been making mommy nervous for a bit now. It has finally started it's rolling and kicking! It is so neat, I never get enough. Hopefully it won't be too long before Mark and the boys can join in on the fun! I just can't wait to see Vince's reaction the first time it kicks him! He knows there's a baby in my tummy and tells EVERYONE! He lifts up my shirt and says "hi baby" and blows on my belly! He is so cute! I just hope he still likes baby when it comes home!!

Prayer request

Well, I am hesitant to post on this but our family needs your prayers.

We got a call from the Dr. regarding blood work. It seems that we are in an at risk category for the baby to have Down Syndrome. IT DOES NOT MEAN the baby has it, it means we are going to a specialist at The Fetal Care Center on January 4th to have a level 2 sonogram. It is THEN that if they see cause to warrant an amniocentesis we will know and have more information. I can say that I am glad we did the blood work even tho I have been crying a lot, because I have spent more time with God in 1 day then in a while. I can also say that I am pretty sure even if the sonogram comes back leaning to this..........I do not think we would want to do the amnio. The risk of miscarriage is low but I don't want to chance it. We love this little miracle already and no matter what God is in control and He knows what He's doing! Please only pray for His will in this and we are too!
Love to you all and Please don't worry- just PRAY!

I will let you know more as I know!

WHAT????? 4 MONTHS ALREADY????

yUP, WE ARE 4 MONTHS ALONG TODAY! I guess it's time for some belly shots! I was telling Mark last night that we needed to do it! He's MORE than willing to take a shot of my belly!
I will warn you that it looks weird! All sunk in at top and round at bottom! I will try to get the pic's up tonight.
I am really starting to feel that little pea pod squirming around now, too bad it will be a bit before others can feel it. I just want to fast forward December and get to Christmas then the sonogram! I still can't believe I'm stuck waiting an extra week or so...... Really, who gets a 2 week vacation at Christmas??? Oh well.... at least we will be really sure of the sex. I see a lot of you are voting boy and that's ok! I am kinda thinking that's the case too! Mark is still thinking girl. Vince says he wants a sister. Dusty says "whatever".

Anyway, I better get off here.

Check back for pic's!!!
