Hannah Joy has something she'd like to tell you...

Our ultrasound today through Florida Perinatal Associates was UNBELIEVABLE! I HIGHLY recommend them~ the technician was very thorough and explained everything to this very nervous mommy. She even took a few 3 D shots for us even though it was a little too early (the baby has no fat layer so you're seeing transparent skin over the blood vessel and organs). She weighs 9 oz. and is about the size of an adult hand. HOW someone could doubt the existence of a God when they see how AMAZING and detailed the human body is even in a little peanut like this is beyond me.

I want to thank GOD and all of you who have prayed for us and our family throughout the pregnancy. It's been hard for me due to a prior miscarriage...I keep wondering if she's okay, if she's really there, if she's growing properly.... I know that God is in control and I give her to Him and trust that He has a plan and a purpose for her life. Please continue to lift us up and come into agreement with us that this baby girl will be safe, healthy and all God has created her to be!

Oh, and by the way.... her name is Sophia Grace and Hannah Joy is thrilled she's "getting a baby sis instead of a baby bro" as she so eloquently put it earlier. :0)



Until then...

Hannah's going to be a....

BIG SISTER. I am 18 weeks pregnant and am due on April 21st. We go on Wednesday for an ultrasound and hopefully will find out if she will have a baby brother or a baby sister. She's hoping for a sister but we are praying for a HEALTHY baby either way. Please keep us in your prayers. :0)

Until then...

WE PICTURE {this}: Reflections

This is my first time submitting photos to one of my very favorite photo blogs. I am so excited for this opportunity! Both of the pictures are of my daughter, Hannah Joy. The first one was taken at a golf course and the other one shows her standing in front of her daddy's fire truck. I would LOVE some feedback as I am just starting out with this life-long {new-found} passion of mine! :0)

Wild Olive Tees...

Check out this AWESOME site and...

"GET YOUR VERSE ON!"

Wild Olive Tees is very excited to announce the launch of their Wild Olive Kids line! They will be offering tees for both boys and girls in sizes ranging from 2-12. You can expect to find them in their stores around August 12th. To see the designs click here.

They have also announced another Charity tee, CHOSEN. Through August 31st, 25% of the profits (instead of the standard 10%) from the sale of “CHOSEN” will go to benefit a charity near and dear to their hearts, Love without Boundaries.

Love Without Boundaries began in 2003, after a group of adoptive parents realized that people united by a pure love for impoverished children truly can make a difference. Love without boundaries strives “To provide the most loving and compassionate help possible to orphaned and impoverished children in China, and to show the world that every child, regardless of their needs, deserves to experience love and be treated with dignity and care.” In just five short years, the foundation has grown from providing a handful of surgeries to touching the lives of thousands of children today through foster care, medical, education, and nutrition programs. To find out more about Love Without Boundaries, you can visit their website here.
