Pregnancy Update

I am now 15 weeks and going strong...or as strong as I can with 2 little ones, hot summer weather and a siatic nerve that is shooting pains through my left butt cheek (sorry if that was TMI!) This pregnancy is really different from the girls so it will be interesting to see what we are having in 4 weeks! Of course Brent and I would love to add a little man to our family but we will be blessed with a happy healthy little girl too if that is the case.
I still want Mexican food as always but Italian (one of my favorites) is out of the picture for a while and wings are off the menu until I have this baby. I do not want sweets and Sweet tea is gross this time around. I really have no cravings this time - not really interested in any one type of food.

(Editted to Add: see poll to the left and guess the sex and a girl's name if needed!!!)

Prayers for Family

Many of you know that my mom has been very ill recently and had two surgeries with in a week's period. She is recovering at home and will have to undergo another surgery again in two years hopefully. My dad is really being a great man taking care of his girl but he is exhausted. Please pray for healing and a regaining of strength for my mom and stamina and good sleep for my dad.

Also the girls were both diagnosed with pneumonia last week. MM stayed over night at the hospital one evening to be monitored and keep on O2. She bounced back quickly and is going strong.

A Bear had a persistent cough for weeks and when MM was diagnosed we had her checked too. She has pneumonia in her left lung again (the same one from the fall). She is on a strong round of antibiotics and we will see the Pediatric Pulmonologist on July 8th! They checked her for TB but it was negative (yippee!) and think she may have a bend in her airway that makes it possible for her to get this over and over. We are hoping that the PP doc can give us some answers.

Prayers sent this way are greatly appreciated!

Afternoon fun with extended family...mommy sat this

out bc of the color of the water and being preggo!

Addie is after my heart with reading in the boat!

After playing at the beach for a few days, we headed to Lake Mathis to have some fun fishing and boating. Grandpa and Daddy put out five jug lines and had a lot of fun battling the wind checking the lines and rebaiting the lines. MM continued to fish with Daddy and A Bear caught her first fish with the help of Grandpa. Grandma cooked some wonderful meals and we also got to catch up with B's Aunt and Uncle as well as his cousin Doug, wife DeAnne and great cousins Cody and Kaitlyn.

I know it has been awhile...

Hey all - it has been a while since I have updated. It is not for a lack of things to blog about...it has just been too busy and hectic around here! Molly finished her first grade year at her new school and loved every moment of it. She turned into a great reader by the end of the year and is reading to me everyday on her own without any reminders. We left immediately from her last day of school and headed to Port Aransas for a few days at the beach.

Molly and Addie were thrilled to the be at the beach to play in the sand, surf in the water and of course play in the pools! It was especially nice to enjoy Daddy without the interruptions of phone calls from L****. He actually left his phone at the room several times! We had a great time, good food and family fun!
