Baby #2!!

I wrapped up this little bundle of surprise a couple of days before Christmas for Logan to unwrap. He was half-asleep so I didn't get quite the response I was going for, but he was excited nonetheless.


We decided to keep it quiet for a few weeks and then sent the family an email with this picture. Again, they weren't quite sure why I was sending this picture, but Maddy's shirt (which was Lauren's shirt) says, "Worlds' Best Big Sister!"


And then we went for our first ultrasound this week. We weren't scheduled for a few more weeks to have a sonogram, but we rushed to the midwife's office early Thursday after some concerns. The baby was moving and is very healthy, but I found out I have a blood clot in my placenta This is just something we will have to watch and see how it moves or if it gets any larger. I go back in April for another ultrasound to see if there is any change in the clot. For now, our prayers are for it to get smaller or stay where it is in order to not take away anything from the baby.

We have two names picked out (Hudson Walker or Elsa Jane) for this little one. Please pray for our sweet nugget as we continue to grow and rely on the Lord for His perfect and beautiful plan to enfold for this precious life. As with any pregnancy, we trust in His plans completely, but now knowing there is an issue, we will continue to give over all of our fears and worries to our Heavenly Father, the creator of life!

Oh, and we are due September 2nd!
