2 Year Anniversary

How cute is this face???

Jaska and I have officially been parents for 2 years as of Friday the 16th! I can't believe it was 2 years ago that we went to pick up our baby boy. What a special day that was and now we're looking forward to another type of special day with the birth of our second baby boy. We've learned so much and know that we only have more to learn!! What a blessed life we have. We thank the Lord each day for David's birth mother and can only hope that more young women come to understanding that they can change so many lives with the truly unselfish decision to make an adoption plan!

If you've ever thought about adoption, we had a truly wonderful experience through the Gladney Center for Adoption and highly recommend them! You can visit their website at www.gladney.org.

Movin' and Groovin'

Ok, I FINALLY felt baby move and I KNEW it was him! What a sensational feeling! Scared me a bit at first and now it just freaks me out when he's flipping around in there. What a blessing to experience such an event! Felt him a few times on Sunday and Monday. Yesterday he was pretty quiet, which made me a little nervous. It doesn't help much when I watch Discovery Health channel about all these "high risk" baby situations!! I've got to quit doing that! Next appointment with the OB is on 20 February. Appointments are at the "uneventful" stage at this point. Go in, get weighed, blood pressure, try and pee in a cup without seeing what I'm doing (most of the time it just ends up all over me...), hear the heartbeat (which is always cool), and ask questions. Wait around for an hour or so for a 10 minute appointment. Fun, fun, fun!! On a more somber note...

The time has come. Jaska is leaving for the big sandbox tomorrow. Mom arrives today. Thought I was starting to get used to this deployment thing, but this one seems harder than all the rest!! We've got lots of projects planned and social events to go to while he is away, so hopefully the time will fly. The ladies in the squadron are awesome at getting together for something or other a few times a week while the guys (and gals) are gone.

Keep us all in your prayers!

P.S. Congrats Colts fans! So sorry Bears fans... :( I'm neither. I just watch for the commercials!!!
