Sorry...lol

Well, well, well...here I am...almost 2 months later. I am just going to have to keep apologizing for my negligence. Sorry....lol

A lot has happened since the last time I blogged. I started (and finished) summer school. I didn't do as well as I wanted (A,B,B), but according to people who have taken those classes regular term, that is good for summer term. I am registered for 14 hours for the fall so far. I may be adding some more classes to that for 18 hours. The original plan was 17, so that is not bad. I hope it goes well.

Something really great and important happened the day before my last blog that I don't think I wrote about. Chad was baptized as a follower of Jesus Christ. He has made such a spiritual turn around in his life in just the 5 years that I have known him. His heart is truly calling out for God to come into his life and do those great things that only He can do. I have faith that there are so many great things ahead of us and that God has great plans for us.

On July 16th, which was Chad's birthday, we had an ultrasound to see if we could find out the sex of the baby.....and we found out we are having a little GIRL!!! We are so excited. I have already gotten gifts from family and friends for the little princess and I am in the process of getting her nursery ready which she will be sharing with her big sister, Bailey. I will post pictures when it's all done. I am so excited to be having a little girl. I wanted a little girl so badly (I would have been just as happy with a little boy, but I wanted my little princess!! lol). I can't wait to meet her. I am now just over 19 weeks and we will have another ultrasound on Aug. 11th. I can't wait to see her again! She is so active! During the last 2 ultrasounds it was a little difficult to get any good pictures of her because she would not sit still! It's great that she is so active, I just wish that I could actually feel all of that movement. She only weighs 9oz right now, so all I can really feel is little flutters when she is swimming around. I can't wait to be able to feel her kick and also for daddy to feel her as well.

Another exciting thing going on is that we are taking another little vacation in a few days. Chad and I are taking the kids to New Orleans for a night and then going to Destin, FL for some BEACH TIME! I have never been, so I am excited. We also decided last night to take my mother in law with us since she was in TN the last week we had the kids and she has not seen them in 3 weeks. It is going to be great! I can't wait.

There is something else pretty major going on right now, but I don't want to go into detail about it. Those of you close to me know what it is, and those who don't, I am sending out a little unspoken prayer request. I believe in the power of prayer and that God can do amazing things, so I am asking that you keep Chad, the kids and I in your prayers that everything will happen the way it should and the way that God wants it to. Although there are other people involved, God has total control and it is all in His hands. I am at peace knowing that...

Well, I think that may be all...or at least all I can think of for now. I hope that everyone is having a great week and continue to have a great weekend as well!!

Love,

Monica
