It happens so quickly

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of post here lately. We have had a tragedy in the family...Trent's brother and niece were killed on Tuesday by a drunk driver. The family is taking it very hard. The news came so quick and so unexpectedly that they are basically still in shock from hearing the news. He was only 26 years old and his daughter was 7---they were on their way to the movies when it happened. Trent is doing pretty bad along with the rest of his family. He doesn't want anything to do with anyone right now but he will get through it over time. Thats just what it takes...time and prayers. The funeral is tomorrow, it will be so hard to see Trent (and his family) but I know with the guidance of God we will all pull through...

* I was asked if the drunk driver was killed...the answer is no but he is in critical condition and they still aren't sure so he and his family do need prayers as well.

I couldn't pass it up

Well, Trent has been wondering how much longer it would be before I went out and did this..and today it happened. I bought baby clothes! HAHA
I know it still isn't 100% that its a girl but I just couldn't turn around.

I saw these 2 outfits today at Target and I knew that I had to have them both. I bought size 6 months hoping that they will fit baby next summer because she will be about 6 months old. Aren't they adorable???

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Praise God, they are home

Rilee May is now home from Guatemala!!!

more updates later.

counting down...

13 weeks pregnant today!

Puppy is ready for baby!

We're thinking baby girl...

Today was my 3 month appointment and it went great! I did have an ultrasound and I was very surprised when I found out that it would be a "vaginal" ultrasound. They need to be able to get a very good look at my uterus because of the tumors. Everything looked amazing and the little heart was just pumping away! The doctor asked us if we were interested in finding out the sex of the baby and we said yes (of course) She then told us that it might be a little to soon with a regular ultrasound but since this one was 4D and vaginal, we might be able to tell now. Well here is the thing...she said that by 13 weeks, you can tell if it is a boy because of their obvious parts and we saw NOTHING, and it was a very clear shot. So we are thinking that we have a little Brylee Rose in here. Whatever God gives us will be such a blessing, a little miracle...a girl would be nice though :)

I do not have the US picture with me but I do have a very special picture to share with you all...

Baby Rilee,
Coming Home from Guatemala in 2 days!

Finally, FRIDAY!

This week has went by so slow if you ask me. Trent and I are anxiously awaiting the homecoming of our friends. They will be arriving home from Guatemala with their new daughter Rilee next week!

We have a busy weekend planned so I most likely will not be posting. Trent is looking forward to Father's Day, as am I.

My doctors appt. is Monday!! I can't wait to hear that little heartbeat!! I have had a few of you ask about finding out the sex of the baby...that is a yes! We hope to be able to do that soon!

Have a great weekend & Happy Father's Day to all the daddy's out there!

Getting Back on Track

I am now back at home and we are getting settled back down and ready for the new week. Today is such an enjoyable day, it is very quiet and calm around here. Trent's parents are on their way back home and now it is back to the two (or should I say 3) of us! We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our neighbors getting home from Guatemala with their little Rilee. They are now holding that sweet baby in their arms and cannot wait to get her home. We have seen so many pictures of her and it is so amazing how wonderfully she fits with her mommy and daddy. They were meant to be, thats for sure. I am hoping to get to talk to them tonight if they have time to call. Trent and I cannot wait to babysit little Rilee and help out with her all that we can. This will be so much fun. We have arranged to have a big sign in their front yard whenever they return home. The day before they left, they were saying how they would love a big "WELCOME" baby sign.

Well, we are both very tired and need to catch up on some sleep before this new week begins! Have a great rest of the day!

OH...

Congratulations to all you new Mommy's and Daddy's who received referrals!

I'm still alive

Hey everyone, I am still here! We have just been so busy, in fact, I don't have much time right now. Trent's parents are in town and we have been spending a lot of time with them. Also, my good friend just delivered her baby and I went down to visit her and her family earlier this week.
Me and baby are doing good! Have a great one everyone!

* I have a my June baby appt. on the 18th (I think) We are looking forward to that!

Our Weekend Getaway

First of all hello to everyone! I am thinking that I am becoming a blogger addict. This weekend was great, I loved every minute of it but...everything I saw reminded me of blogs. Haha, I am not even joking. There was a couple there that had a 3 year old daughter from China. She was so beautiful and such a sweetie! While we were talking to her and her family, her dog was jumping up on me and Trent and I could see her out of the corner of my eye patting her legs and making kissy noises saying "No no puppy, c'mon" She was so cute! What a blessing she was to her family! They had tried for 5 years to get pregnant when they decided to turn to adoption. They first went to domestic adoption, they were matched with a family and when the baby was born, the birthmother wanted to keep him. We exchanged telephone numbers and hope to get together sometime! And another thing that reminded me of bloggin...haha its a funny one. As we were sitting around the lake, a van came up the road and it reminded me of Stef's "Momma Machine" and I though I wonder if she has posted anything new. haha-not even joking. Our neighbors who are adopting from Guatemala went along on the trip with us. They were having their last free weekend to get away and relax. They leave on Wednesday and me and Trent just cannot wait to get a hold of their precious baby girl. We have seen a few pictures and she is so beautiful. They are going to name her Rilee so if Trent and I have a little girl, she will most likely be Brylee...so we will have Brylee and Rilee :)

Tara (Rilee's mommy) and I went shopping last night after we got back. We bought some adorable outfits for Miss Rilee and quite a few hairbows as well! She will be dressed so cute! I love it!

Trent and I went fishing this weekend and I caught a fish. My first time ever! Haha, and I was so excited. Our weekend was so great...we met new people, got closer to our friends, and just had amazing time to relax!! I hope everyone has a great week!

A quick and early post

I am just dropping by to let everyone know that Trent and I are taking off this weekend. We are headed out to a campground that is about 2 hours away. It will be such a nice getaway and we really need that after our tough week last week. I should be back in bloggerland on Sunday evening. If not then I will be back Monday!

Believe me, I will be looking forward to getting back...I am already hooked!
