Jett is here!!!

I'm not going to have all the details tonight because I'm on pain meds and I'm really tired. We came home from the hospital around noon today. I was ready to get home with our precious boy. He was born at 11:47 am on April 21st. He was 9lbs 6oz. and 20 and 3/4 inches long. It was the best feeling in the world to hear that sweet, soft cry. His sister is ecstatic and she is such a great helper and loves on him so well. There are so many things about him that we just watch in amazement.  We will never take things for granted like we did before. We are missing our sweet Jace, and yet feeling a joy that we never thought was possible to feel again. I will write some more later but here are some pictures of our beautiful boy!! Thank you all for praying and continuing to pray for us! 

Today is the Day!!!

We are leaving in a few minutes for the hospital. I will post as soon as I can with the details and some pictures!!!

1 more week!!

One week from Tuesday, which is tomorrow, and I am going to the hospital to have my little Jett man!! We are so very excited!! I have been counting down the days for awhile now and for a variety of reasons. First, its because he is getting so big in there that I barely have room for anything else. Secondly, I think that I am just so anxious.  I've been nervous about everything this time and just ready to get him out here where I can look at him to see if he's okay. I feel like I've switched from feeling like nothing bad could ever happen to us to feeling like it will its just a matter of time. I'm definitely still having issues with trusting my heavenly Papa! I know now more than ever that He is on my side and I love Him so very much. Yesterday was Easter and it was the most meaningful Easter I have ever experienced. It was kind of sad because last Easter is one of my favorite memories of my sweet Jace. He fell asleep in the corner of the couch and was out cold for a long time. I just kept looking at him and wanting to pick him up and squeeze him because he just looked so sweet. I couldn't help but marvel at what God had done in his short recovery time! It was a hopeful day for me. This year was very different, yet there was still a lot of hope, just a different kind. I just sat there at church and I couldn't keep from crying. I was just so blown away by the Love of God that was revealed in Jesus and the work of the cross! I just couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that because of Jesus, I will be reunited with my precious son someday and that I will be with my Jesus forever!! I am overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation. Thank you Jesus, for the hope I have in you!! I still believe that everything you promised us is true!! 

2 Weeks and 5 Days!!

Ok!! I went and saw Dr. Hall today. I'm going every week now. I have two weeks left and only two more appointments! They rescheduled his birthday for April 21st so my brother can be there for sure. It's pretty hard to believe but we are almost there! My awesome friends are having a baby shower for me on Sunday and then my mother-in-law had one at her house for me last sunday!! It was really fun. I think that makes it go so much faster to have the showers and all the stuff to finish up before he comes. I wonder sometimes if it doesn't make it a little harder when you schedule the birth because you are counting down and I never really have that anticipation that it could happen anytime. I guess it could, it just doesn't seem possible with my track record. Anyway, I had an ultrasound a week ago and they predicted his weight at 6lbs 7oz. already!! I am only 36 weeks friday!! She measured me today, too and she laughed a little and said I was measuring 38 to 39 weeks. Like I said, I'm only 36 this week!! Thank God for c-sections!! I'm certainly glad I don't have to push these gigantic babies out! We are getting somewhat anxious just because we aren't quite sure how all of this is going to feel. It was just summer before last that I gave birth to my precious Jace and now I am having another boy and bringing him home to only his sister and Daddy and Me. Its really weird that he is not here and I'm not sure how all of the emotions are going to play out! I believe that it's going to be a beautiful time and a time of intense healing and peace, but I also know there will be a lot of memories brought to the surface and I am thankful for that! I feel like I have been in survival mode this whole pregnancy and it will be pretty crazy to see what kind of things come out once we actually get to hold our Jett and kiss him and look at him!! We are so very excited and can't wait to see what God is going to do! Love you all!
