Week 22

Now that we know we are going to have a Trinity, stress and panic have officially set in! With Carey and I on different work schedules, we don't have much time to shop for furniture and bedding together so we have come up with a solution. We each look seperately and then email the other with pics of what we like! We are planning on going shopping over Spring Break and hopefully will have purchased the the above items!

We bought this Bible to start teaching Trinity the love of her Savior early! Carey reads to her almost every night! She gets to hear a different Bible story each time! We envision reading this to her before she goes to sleep at night and then eventually her reading to us! We love to think about her future and what plans God already has laid for her!

Trinity is growing!

Our Daughter's Name...

Carey and I had decided on the name Trinity before we even got pregnant! Trinity honors our Heavenly Father who is the only one who could create this precious miracle growing inside of me...
Kaylynn...Kay is my momma's middle name and Lynn is Carey and my dad's middle name and Carey's mom's name is LINda (and yes there are MANY other Lynn's in my family and also another Kay!) We wanted to truly honor our earthly moms and dad and also our Savior!

What an amazing day! Thank you Lord for blessing us with a daughter! A huge thank you goes out to momma, daddy and maw for helping us get ready for this party! And thank you to all who came to our special day! We love you! Trinity is so blessed to have you all in her life!

Weeks 19 and 20

Week 19 -

We had our 2nd trimester prenatal Quad Screening and praise the Lord, all tests came back normal! We were able to hear the baby's heartbeat again and it was 145...it sounded so strong! It's so amazing to continue to fall in love with a baby that you have only heard the heartbeat! Dr. J says we are doing great!

Week 20 - HALF BAKED!!!!! WHOO HOO!!!!!

This week we were able to see Baby L in about a 30 minute sonogram! It was Carey, his maw, my mom, my dad and me! What a special moment to see God's miracle in my tummy! Baby L was moving around like crazy! Everything looked perfect with no abnormalities and we feel so blessed to have received that news! We were able to see the blood flowing, the chambers of the heart, the bones, the spine, the toes, the feet (which were about an inch), etc! Baby measured at 11 inches and 14 ounces which is right in the normal range. The sonographer was so nice and was really excited to hear about our Gender Reveal Party! When it was time to look at those baby parts, she turned the screen away so we couldn't see anything and then she wrote down the gender and put it in a sealed envelope! It was so surreal knowing we held the gender in our hands but didn't know! We took the envelope to Beth Sanchez who owns Beth Cakes and she was ready to make our cake for the Big Reveal!!!

Baby looking straight at us!
