Baseball Gender Reveal

There have been so many emotions since we found out we were expecting our third child. It's so hard to even explain to someone who hasn't experienced pregnancy after losing a child at full term with an uncomplicated pregnancy . There have been feelings of sheer panic, fear, doubt and worry. Every doctor's appointment brings back memories, and each time we have to wait to hear baby's heartbeat stops ours for those moments.  Mostly, though we've been filled with joy and the peace that surpasses all understanding.  Our peace is in knowing that God is in control. We also have felt the prayers that many of you have told us you're praying!  We feel blessed to know that God has given us another child and we will lovingly accept for however long He chooses. Though we are fervently praying for a healthy child, born screaming and that we'll be able to bring this baby home!

 Our 20 week ultrasound was no exception to the nerves, only this time we brought Jonah along which actually helped tons! When we saw sweet baby's face for the first time, one of the baby's hands was curled around baby's face and the focus was on baby's lips! Jonah was so excited, especially after we told him the baby was blowing him kisses. He eagerly sent kisses back to the screen for baby with a full faced smile.  For us, the most important part of the ultrasound was seeing our baby, and learning that baby was growing healthy. Finding out the gender was a bonus!  Surprisingly the most frequently asked question we get, aside from "How are you feeling" is "Are you finding out what you're having?"  To us, "what we're having" isn't really important, we just want to bring a healthy baby home.

That being said, we know all too well just how very delicate pregnancy is and I'm trying my best to savor it, and not spend it worrying.  We decided it would be fun to answer the burning question of baby's gender in our family's most favorite way.... a baseball game! We hit the field with some "exploding baseballs" filled with either blue or pink chalk. We made one for each child. Daddy was the pitcher, Jonah was the batter, and mommy was the catcher. It was so much fun... despite the look on my face in the photos! "Chalk" that up to me being anxious about catching a potentially dropped/broken ball.  ;-) 




Enjoy the BIG Reveal!


Here's Jonah up to hit, Baby #3's special ball!!









We couldn't be more excited to be adding another little BOY to our "team"! 
Some of you know, that I've known we were having another boy, even before we were pregnant, I couldn't be more excited to share the story of how this little boy got his name... but that surprise is waiting until he's born! 




Thank you all for your continued love, prayers and support!
