Babies...

Today I went to a baby shower for a friend of mine. She's having a little boy on September 9. I'm so excited for her. What's so funny is that her other son is 11 years old. They weren't expecting to have any other kids, so they of course got rid of absolutely everything that remotely had to do with a baby. It was so awesome to see all her friends there to support her. I'm so pumped for her to see once again, after 11 years, what a total miracle it is when God sends a family the beautiful gift of a child! And really, on the inside, I'm thrilled to have someone else who is getting up in the middle of the night right along with me!!!

Never mind, I figured it out!!!

Ok, so my computer is doing something wierd and it will only let me add one picture per post...

Pictures

Sisters...

Jamie and I took the girls to Cape last week and had their pictures made together. They turned out so sweet! I had some made of each of them separately, of course, but I love the ones of the two together. When Jason and I found out we were going to have another baby, we really wanted it to be a boy. However, now that Miley is here, I can't imagine things being any different. I'm so excited for my two girls to grow up having each other. I love my brother with all my heart, but I have a feeling there's a certain bond between two sisters that's different than one between a brother and a sister. I'm so glad my girls will have each other to talk to when they're not sure if they want to talk to me or not. I know this could get them in trouble... I'm thinking of the teenage years when they're not going to want to tell me anything! Still yet, I hope and pray all the time that they always rely on each other and have an everlasting connection that will keep themselves grounded. Here's to my two beautiful girls...

I'M BACK!!!!

Holy smokes, it's been a long time!!! A lot of you know, but some of you may not, that I've had major technical difficulties at school since Christmas. All blog sites were blocked from access on school property...not a happy subject with me. I had of course then forgotten my password and wasn't able to get on my blog for awhile. I finally have access again, although I have to go to my brother's house and thief his wireless connection. That said, I hope to be a little more consistent with my posts.

Of course, the biggest thing that's happened to us since Christmas is the birth of our second little girl. Miley Sophia was born on June 23, at 12:06 pm. She weighed 7 lbs, 5 oz, and was 19 1/2 inches long. My labor was very easy and was over very quickly, however, THANK GOD for modern medicine and spinal blocks!!! She's absolutely beautiful and is such a blessing in our lives. There was some concern about her health in the middle of my pregnancy because her umbilical cord only had 2 arteries instead of 3. The concern was mostly in regard to kidney problems, but thankfully, she was born with no complications. The doctors say that everything looks great and all her organs are functioning appropriately. I know her kidneys are great, because this kid pees more than any human I've ever seen! I've thanked God a million times over for keeping His hands on her during her creation and forming her perfectly, according to His perfect plans. She beautiful and amazing. I'll add a couple pictures when I get a chance. Right now Miley is screaming bloody murder, so it'll have to wait! Until next time!!!
