It's a GIRL!!!

We found out yesterday that we will be welcoming a beautiful baby girl into our family! Cameron, myself, and all of our family thought it would be a girl...but it was nice to hear it, and see her! :0)

She was very wiggly and even waved at us right when the sonogram started! Like, "Hi, mom and dad!" It was precious. Everything measured normal, and she's VERY healthy! Praise the Lord!!!

I'm learning that as a "mom," you realize just how much of a miracle pregnancy is! I mean, I have NOTHING to do with her little fingers, toes, 4-chambered heart, or anything else. God just does it! Wow! It makes me realize even more just how amazing God is:

"For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You." Psalm 139:13-18

Whoo-nu?

Who knew Dallas could be so fun?

We decided to get out of town for a few days over Spring Break and head to the BIG D. Well, let me just say, it was the funnest week of my life! :0)

We spent time with friends...

We went to a Dallas Maverick's game...and had a lady yelling her head off the whole game right in our ears!!! Then, she'd clear her throat each time after she did it... "Go Mavs!!! Ah-HEMMM!" (What's a good basketball game without an obnoxious fan yelling in your ears, right?)

And then we met Jerry Stackhouse, a Dallas Maverick (sometimes a starter) at the Galleria! What more could you ask for?

We had a great time, and it was much needed. Now, we can start preparing our lives for a new little baby!!! :0)

Being pregnant= eating too much or not eating enough!

Seems like since this pregnancy thing has begun, I'm either always hungry or too full. I haven't figured out the right amount of food to eat, where I feel "just right." Hmmm...no one ever tells you it will be this way. They always say, "Oh, you'll have a little morning sickness." However, no one ever said, "You might puke up your guts and feel disgusting and tired for a good amount of time!" I will be spreading that part of the news.

I wish people would be more honest with you. I mean, I wouldn't trade this BABY for the world...and the end result is going to be TOTALLY worth all of the junk that the 1st trimester offers...but really...

Why don't people tell you the truth? Like when you get married, "You're not always happy all the time." Marriage is a tremendous blessing and it's even better than what people say...but it's better in a TOUGH kind of way. I think I'll write a book after I get a little more life experience. My title will be, "Honesty Unplugged." LOL Would you buy it?
