The Story of our Big (Little) Blessing


Most don't know this, well not until recently that is,
one year ago, Mike and I went in for our ultrasound to see how our surprise baby was 
developing and how big it was. We would have typically found out the sex at this 
visit but had decided not to since this baby was already such a funny little whoops for us! 

We went in saw our beautiful baby, were excited, then Mike left to go to work while I finished up the appointment.


I went in to see my ob and got the most heart breaking news I could ever hear.(Second to when we found out we had a miscarriage the first time we ever got pregnant.)



 "There is a possibility that your baby could have a birth defect or down syndrome. We need you to go see a specialist."



I was broken in that moment. 

My insides ached.

I called Mike as soon as I had composed myself and made it out of the office. 

I told my mother in law, my sister, my best friend and our church prayer warriors were 

privately praying for us...but no one else knew about it.



I prayed so hard and then God washed my soul over with complete peace and I let it go.

I knew that He was in control of my life and that He works all things together 
for good, no matter what the outcome may be.



 2 weeks later we went in for our appointment, on Mike's 26th birthday, and they did a Level 2 ultrasound.  

It was actually quite amazing!!  

We saw every part of our baby in detail excluding the bottom because we really wanted to keep that a surprise (although we saw it accidentally for all of 2 seconds!)

And every trace of cysts that had been on our baby's brain had completely vanished!!! There was no sign of where they had even been!! 



Hallelujah to the Lamb of God! 
I can still feel His presence as I did that day when we got the news!!!

7 months later here we are with the biggest blessing God has ever given us, 
a perfect, happy, wonderful baby boy!!!

Lil' K has been my heart every since they said the words, "It's a boy!!" 

My heart overflows with the love and joy I have for this child because he is a daily reminder of God's love and faithfulness towards me. 

Happy 7 months my Baby Love!!!

October's Last Hoorah 2012!!!

Here is a re-cap of our last week and a half!!!
I don't know how much more fun we could have tried to 
squeeze in here!!

Of course, we had to decorate our mini pumpkins
we got from the pumpkin patch!!!







Our Princess, Sheriff, and Scarecrow!!!!

Then we got to go to the Moody Air Force Base Air Show
with just Booey and Big K!!
It was a blast and this was Big K's first time....
needless to say, this was one excited little boy!!!



I love how much she adores her Daddy!!!






My big guys!!!








This is the Lowndes County Dive and Rescue Team's 
new van and rescue boat!!
Daddy is an avid scuba diver and just got
invited to be a member of the Rescue Team!!
We are so proud of him!!!!
They had a setup out at the Air Show this year!!
Go Boys!!!


Then me and my beautiful Princess went to Movie in the Park!!
They were showing Hook!!
We only made it about half way through the movie
because it was a little much for her,
but we both enjoyed the quality time and eating junk food on a 
blanket in the dark in the park!! Ha!!




And of course, last but not least, Halloween!!!




October was a pretty grand month!!!
We went through so many changes and the boys both
matured so much!!
Lil' K started sitting up, eating baby food, getting on his knees 
trying to crawl....man, it goes by too quickly.
And Big K really started talking SOOOOOO much more!!
It has been a blast October but now on to the month
that reminds us to be ever thankful for the many blessings
in our lives!!!!!
NOVEMBER!!!
