Third Time's a Charm?

Hopefully! I spent Sunday night in the hospital again. We may have found some medicine that works this time. Please keep praying that I can recover quickly, I have lost a lot of weight and I am under the body fat percentage for a child-bearing woman, or any woman for that matter. My goal is to gain some weight and hopefully that will make me feel even better. The baby, hopefully is doing just fine but i can't help but think it is also starving. We are praying that God's will, will be done with this pregnancy.

I can't wait to get out and about again to hang with everybody. thank you for your prayers.

Feeling Better Yet?

Well, Jess stayed the night with me Saturday in the Hospital. Yep, another hospital visit. Getting re-hydrated really makes a difference. I have an appointment with a naturopathic doctor tomorrow, I hope he can be helpful. I have nothing to lose. I feel like I am loosing the battle right now anyway. I am currently taking some medicine, that seems to be working but I am curious about this new doctor. If he works out, Jess just might get his wish for 10 kids!! Ha! I like to take them one at a time.

Thank you for all of your prayers.

Due February 17th

I had my first doctor visit on Monday. The official due date for the baby is February 17th, 2008. So that means I am 8 1/2 weeks along so far. I have been having some trouble with morning sickness and ended up spending the day in the hospital getting re-hydrated and trying to gain some ground on the hyper emesis (that means a lot of throw up). I have tried a few medications and I think I have found one that is working. I have been feeling better and able to eat for the last two days. Pleas keep praying for the baby. I know the Lord will protect us but we covet your prayers for a healthy baby and a healthy momma.
Jess has been such a great husband through all of this. Keep him in your prayers as well, he has had a big job the last few weeks. I also stopped nursing Annella. I think it was harder for me than it was for her. She has been doing great and eating like a champ.
Overall, we are excited about the new baby and having so much fun watching Annella grow and learn new things. She loves her time with Dada and is walking and dancing everywhere!

Fourth of July *

We spent the 4th at Refugio Beach with friends. It was a beautiful day.




Annella enjoyed her first sucker, sand and all.

She loves the beach.

By the end of the day I think the heat was getting to her because she kept putting her head in the sand and wildly laughing!











A picture of Jess and I. We realized we don't have a picture of us together on our blog-so here we are.



My pregnancy is going well. I have been enjoying it so far, at least up until today. I am guessing I am about 7 or 8 weeks now. I have my first doctor's appointment on Monday. Please keep praying for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy mommy. Love you all.

My Favorite Pose

HI YA!! This is how Annella gets ready to take her first step. It cracks me up every time she does it.

Lots of concentration!!

























This walking stuff gives me a headache!

She's Walking!!

Annella is walking all by herself now! I was chasing her around church this morning. I think she really likes her new independence. It's so cute to see her little arms in the air and her little tongue sticking out of her mouth to keep her concentration. I am proud of my girl, she sure is getting big fast!
