Well, today has been just another long day. Sometimes it feels like the harder I try to do everything right, the more little mistakes I make. That gets me down, but then I remember that I walk with Jesus holding my hands and everything is ok. I mean, no matter what else is going on right now, Bill and I are going to be Mommy and Daddy! What could be better? We are 13 weeks and 3 days. I can't wait to go back to the Dr. and get new pictures of our little one. In the mean time, God is giving me a good dose of faith and patience and I am trying to learn these lessons. I have a feeling they will come in handy when baby Blackburn arrives!
We are still praying for Bill's schedule to change at work. I have learned that he may go to dayshift everyday, but his off days will be Thursday and Friday. We have lived that before and I truly think it will make a world of difference in his health, so I am still praying for straight shifts.
We see Dr. Sharp a week from today. It is funny. I never thought I would look forward to seeing my OB/GYN this much!

Nannie
This week will be three years since we lost my mom. We miss her incredibly every single day. Some days it seems like a lifetime ago since we saw her, but today it feels new that she is gone. I can't believe that I am having a baby without my Momma by my side. I think it is really starting to sink in that she is not going to be here when our little blessing arrives. I know that she is celebrating in Heaven over our angel and if it is possible, she had a hand in all of this because she wanted us to have children as badly as we do. We miss you Mom! Thank you so much for loving us so much! I know you will be with Bill and I has we go through this exciting adventure. Thank you for the lessons that you taught us and most of all, for encouraging Amy and I to always be close. I couldn't do this without her and with her, I feel like I have some of you too. I will always miss you. It doesn't get any easier as time goes by, but I am so thankful to know that you are with Jesus looking down on us and that we will all see you again soon!
Bill's Birthday and No More High Risk
What a week. On Monday, Bill's 33rd birtday, we went back to see Dr. Sharp. Our little one is still measuring ahead of schedule, but looks completely healthy so we are no longer on the high-risk rotation! Our new due date is September 25, but Bill is still planning on September 30th or later. I know it sounds weird, but we had a great time at the Dr. I swear, I think Bill and I could laugh and act like kids in any inappropriate situation. I love it!
We both had a long week after Monday. We hardly saw each other until Friday night, but I did get to do a couple of fun things. I went to see Cirque Dreams at the Civic Center with Robin and that rocked. On Thursday night, I went to paint with a friend from work and that was fun too, but I really miss Bill when he is on evening shift. I hate evening shift. We are praying that Bill's department will vote to go to straight shifts soon and there will be no more evening shifts or weeks without seeing each other.
This has been a completely emotional week with lots of questions, but we are thrilled with the news from Monday, and resting in God's plan for us! As of Friday, we are at 12 weeks.
For the record, I now am convinced that we are having a little boy. Bill hasn't staked a claim just yet. Angela says its a boy, but she just wants Cole to have a play buddy. Aunt Linda says its a girl and she is only buying pink. Stay tuned and we will capture everyone's opinion, because it won't be too long before Bill is twisting my arm and having them tell us! ;)

March 2 visit to Dr. Sharp
Today was fabulous. We went to see Dr. Sharp for the first time and had a wonderful visit. We are almost ten weeks along. Our ultra-sound was so fun. We heard our little one's precious little heartbeat. We got to see our little ones legs and arms. He was doing flip-flops. The ultrasound technician said that she has never called the sex of a baby so early, but she was pretty sure from what she saw that we are having a baby boy. We won't be painting the nursery just yet, but I think that is really fun and exciting. We will find out for sure in about six more weeks. In the meantime, we are patiently praising God for such a great day and an amazing miracle.
