I started a few days back when Emily asked “Am I your babycakes?”. We looked at each other and neither of us had called her that but we went with it. Now it has been common for her to say “I am you babycakes” and then ensure to also inform us that she is not a baby but a toddler. So as we were going through this this morning I said “that is right you are my toddler babycakes”. Mommy added that even after the new baby (little b) arrives that Emily will still be our babycakes.

We love you little toddler babycakes. We are so very excited for you to be a big sister.

God’s Blessings,
Daddy & Mommy

little b, it is nothing but time now in our waiting for you to arrive. I am so very excited for our growing family and to hold you for the first time, I just hope that I can remember how to hold little ones instead of an energetic toddler. I am looking forward to getting back into our nighttime routine with mommy, you and me to keep us all moving along. There will be a change that we will need to get work out, daddy will get to feed you more often than I did with Emily.

I am praying for you little b on your continued development as the Lord stitches you together in the womb. You are a great little kicker, moving around a lot and it is great to feel you through mommies belly. We know that the Lord has wonderful plans for you and pray that you will grow up to be a great man or woman of God. Stay safe little one.

God’s Blessings,
Daddy

We are now into the double digit count down time for little b… this last Saturday was the 99 day mark. Emily and the rest of us are getting very excited and are waiting for November when the baby comes. Emily now knows that in the month of November the baby come… well in at least she knows the word November and that is the name of the month when the baby comes. We are all getting excited and look forward to what the Lord has planned for us.

God Bless

Emily, you just touched my heart this morning.  Daddy and I headed upstairs to wish you good morning as you were saying “up please”.  You gave Daddy a hug and kiss, then me, then you leaned down and wrapped your arms around my big belly and gave the baby a huge bear hug, followed by a gentle kiss.  You are such an affectionate big sister.  I know we are all excited to meet this little one in only a few months.

 I love you!  Mommy

This morning, just after Emily woke up, she came into our room and she and I sat in the chair.  She was leaning in to me, and she opened my robe to put her hand on “the baby” (she thinks the baby is right where my belly button is - I guess she is not totally wrong).  I could feel the baby moving slightly, and Emily was cuddled in to me, and I was just totally overwhelmed with love for both of my children.  I could have stayed like that all day.  I am very thankful that we are entering a weekend.  I am ready for some rest, relaxation, and family time.

Hi everyone! You have probably noticed Dan has recently updated the blog portion of our website. it has a great new look and it also is now easy enough for me to use! I am currently just shy of 21 weeks pregnant - yep, we’re halfway there! At our last Dr. appointment, the baby was moving so much they almost couldn’t get a heartbeat reading, but finally clocked in around 145 beats per minute. They have decided to leave my due date as November 25 but we all know the baby will come whenever he/she feels like it. We also have finalized names, but we’re not telling…

We were at church for a little while after breakfast this morning and I took Emily to the bathroom. We were in the stall with the baby changing station. Emily commented, “The new baby can use that, but not yet. She (today Emily thinks it’s a girl) has to crawl out of mommy’s belly first.” Oh, the minds of children!

Last night daddy was able to feel “little b” move for the first time. Mommy was rather happy since with Emily she felt the baby move the day before the ultrasound and this time I was able to feel “little b” move for the first time the day before the ultrasound.

We were able to see all the little fingers and toes. It took the technician a while to get a good profile shot of the face… are you just playing shy little b? It is so exciting and we are very much looking forward to November when we get to meet you.

Love,
Mommy & Daddy

Today we had another doctors appointment for little b. So only the second time that they have been searching for the heart beat but this child is all over the place and it takes them a few moments to get it found and still enough to count. This time was not so bad but the first time was a little tense.

For those that have not heard the wonderful news we are expecting our second child in late Novemeber. Praise God for the awesome blessing. I shall work on changing this over from the “little b” blog to one just more from daddy to both children now. More news to come later as we look forward to our growing family.
