And baby makes FOUR!!!!

Yes, it is true! Lord willing in April we will have a new little angel to add to our family! We are very excited and thrilled to meet this new member to our family! I can't wait to see what it is like being a mom of two! I am 13+ weeks now so so thankfully we have made it through the first trimester. I have been a lot more sick with this little squirt than I was with Will so Nick thinks it is a little girl. We will have to wait and see what the Lord blesses us with!!!

I would like to ask you to be praying for the health and safety of this baby. Two weeks ago I had some major bleeding and cramping. It started when I was at Wal-Mart and I was completely convinced I had lost the baby! In my hysterics I called the doctors office and they let me come right in for an ultrasound. Turns out it was a sub chorionic hemorrhage. I had never heard of that at the time but I was just so thankful to hear the heartbeat. I have to go every week for an ultrasound to make sure the blood clot heals and the baby is fine. Over the past two weeks I have cried many tears, felt very anxious and had lots of mixed emotions but I was very relieved when I went for the second time today since it happened and the baby had a strong healthy heartbeat! This has been a good daily reminder that God is in control and He has his arms wrapped around this sweet baby. I am constantly having to remind myself to trust the Lord and not have a divided or anxious heart. But it was such a relief to hear that little heart beating away today!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

He is Good ALL the TIME :) I have to remind myself of that...even when His plan seems thwarted..it is never. we are already in love with baby brannen II and we are praying every time we think of her..which is often!

Congratulations! I wanted to let you know that a friend of mine at school had a hemorrhage also and she has a perfectly healthy, sweet baby boy now :) I know the phrase "Don't worry" is much easier said than done, but remember to "take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ" 2 Cor. 10:5 I will be praying for you and the precious baby!
