Heartbeat 138

We heard the heartbeat again!!! What an amazing moment. I finally stopped bleeding on Monday and on Tuesday I began to feel normal again. I told Marty that I was actually nervous about today's appointment because I felt so good and did not feel pregnant. I was relieved when I saw the heartbeating. We got new pictures too. The baby is growing and all looks good. If the pregnancy continues like this I will be extremely grateful.

Kaegan has been an angel this week. Making sure I drink only water, putting my feet under a pillow when I rest and telling me to sit down. He is going to be a great big brother.

We are so blessed. Kaegan was and will always be our first miracle. This little angel within me is Kaegan's little miracle. He has prayed for over a year and a half for his baby brother or sister. When he first began praying for them we questioned if he had a sibling in the orphanage or foster home he was in. Of course we will never know. When we ask him he says he doesn't remember. I know that Kaegan prayed for this child and that God has answered his prayer. I am honored that God has chosen me to carry this miracle and for the incredible faith lesson this has taught and will continue to teach our little 5 year old. Our God is amazing and our Kaegan knows it.

The day we learned of the pregnancy Kaegan road home in the truck with Marty. Kaegan was sitting in the back seat and told Marty, "Daddy, I prayed for my Brother and Sister and God gave me one. God is so AWESOME!!" Marty said he will never forget Kaegans facial expressions and true excitement for the baby. What a great moment for the two of them.

GOD IS SO GOOD!

Heart Beat

Ok, so we had a bit of a scare yesterday. Ever since Thursday I have continued to spot which has concerned me and on Sunday I began to have heavy cramps. Well, yesterday I called the doctor concerned and waited around all day for her to call back. Finally, I called back around 3:00 and explained everything and made an appointment for today. After I hung up the phone I began to bleed alot and it scared me. Thankfully, I had just pulled into a friend of mine's(Kalilah) driveway so that Kaegan and her daughter(Laila) could play. I ran inside, went straight to restroom and frieked out. Her husband, Jason, was home so we left him with all of the kids and rushed to the doctor. When I got there the bleeding had decreased thankfully but there was still a lot of concern. Finally, they called my name and we rushed back to do an ultrasound. There was a heartbeat!!!!!!! Baby is fine!!! What a relief! It appears that I had a small blood clot on my cervix that burst which explains all the bleeding. The Doctor said that it should stop in the next 3 days or so.

Now, thru all of this Marty was out of town. I wish he was here to hear the heartbeat but it was a must needed thing to check so I had to hear it without him. He will hear the heart beat on the 8th of September. I can't wait for this moment. It wil be so amazing. I did get more pictures of the baby too. Yay!! I will scan them and post them tomorrow.

Kaegan is a Big Brother!!!

We found out yesterday afternoon that we are having a baby!!!! We are beyond words and still in shock. I had not started my cycle so I decided to take a pregnancy test at home. It came out negative so I called my Dr.'s nurse and asked her call in the medication to speed up my cycle so I will start and get this blotted feeling over with. She made me go it to be checked and thank God she did!!! I was pregnant!!!! 5 weeks and 4 days!! This is such a huge miracle!!

Marty had no idea that I even called the Dr. After I heard the news Kaegan and I rushed to Evangel where Marty was coaching football. Kaegan ran to the field holding the sonogram and this is how it went:

K: "Daddy, were are having a baby!
M: "Whose having a baby?"

K: "Mommy is having a baby!"

M: "Honey, Mommy's not having a baby."
K: "Yes she is!"

Marty looks at me and I said "We are having a baby! It is true!"

We are still in shock but loving every minute of it.

1st Day of Pre K 4 as an Evangel Eagle

Kaegan loves his new school!!! We are so excited for him to be apart of Evangel Christian Academy. Marty is now on staff of the football team as the kicking coach so it is very convenient for us to send Kaegan there. Monday, August 8 was Kaegan's first day. When he got home he mentioned that he did not want to stay all day on Tuesday because he missed Momma sooooo much. He really loves his Momma. On Tuesday I dropped him off and told the teacher I would be picking him up early and before I finished talking to her Kaegan had already asked me not to pick him up early because he wanted to stay. That afternoon I picked him up and asked what his favorite part of school was. His response, "NAP TIME." He said he wakes up feeling refreshed and ready to play the rest of the day. Hilarious!

August 3rd. His real Birthday!!

So we try to make Kaegans true Birthday date a fun day. We offered to go to Six Flags, the Tyler Zoo, the water park or Lego Land. He didn't not want to do any of these things. He just wanted to go to Kiddie Mia's down the road from the house. So, we loaded up and headed down the road. Spent $20.00 and several hours of fun. He loved it.

Kaegan is 5!! The Monster Truck Bash!

Kaegan has turned 5! We celebrated on July 31 but his actual birthday is on August 3rd. He wanted a Monster Truck party. It was soo much fun. We decorated our back yard with racing flags, served pizza on Frisbees and served chocolate covered donuts to the guests. I had not planned on a cake but Kaegan wanted to blow out his candles on a cake and not donuts so I quickly baked and came up with this quick cutie. Kaegan loved it and that was all that mattered to me. He did say, "Mom, don't forget to put 5 candles on the cake, NOT four like you did last time!" So cute. All I could do was laugh. Anyway, Kaegan had a blast. That evening he gave Marty and me a big hug and said, "That was the best birthday party ever!" It was a success!

We decided to drive up to South Carolina to visit some friends of ours who also own a DirectBuy. We enjoyed spending a few days with them. On our long journey home we decided to stop in Atlanta to visit the Aquarium. We also called Erin Falbaum (daughter to our friends) to join us. We had fun!
