Update

I am a bit late on posting our Christmas pictures. Here is a little info on the pictures!

Christmas with the Moore's on the 23rd!

Christmas Eve- Campbell enjoyed Christmas very much! I think her favorite thing was making cookies for Santa. She loved putting on all the sprinkles!

A few of Christmas morning

The girls picture is of my sweet friends in Birmingham that gave me a diapers and wipes shower. We had a wonderful time at lunch. It was nice to not have any little ones with us for once.

the slide- The weather has been rainy here for days so I decided to bring in the slide for playgroup. Campbell loves having it indoors to play on. She also thinks it is a great place to sit and read!

Update on Cooper-
We went to the doctor today and she said that I am 1 1/2 centimeters dilated and if I keep going this way then we could looking at inducing around the 22nd! I cannot wait to hold Cooper. It will not be to much longer!!

Zoolight Safari and Cooper's room

On Friday night, we took Campbell to the Zoo light Safari. She had a great time watching the light show and riding the train!! I loved the warm weather. She has enjoyed showing us all the the snowmen and Santa's. She is not quite sure about the live Santa but that is fine. Campbell also has enjoyed playing with the nativity scene and learning about baby Jesus.

Here are a few pictures from Cooper's room and our guest room. I love the bedding we got for him. It is so soft and sweet. We are painting the lamp beside the chair this weekend!! We are getting some pillows made for the bed and new fabric for the side tables. It is coming together quite nicely. Yes, I know that we do not have all the letters for his name yet. We still need a p and e then we are going to hang his name above the crib!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas this year. We have so much to be thankful for! I just love this time of the year!

It has been way to long!

Sorry, I have not blogged in awhile. We have been super busy like the rest of you! Here are a few pictures from the past week. I had to put Campbell's tea party with her babies! Friday, Campbell had fun playing with Ellison (11 months) and Thomas (8 months) at our house. This is as good as it gets to put three moving children together!! Next, we headed to Dothan for a few wedding parties. Stephanie had a bridal shower at one of Scott's friends parents house. She recieved many lovely items. My favorite and I think hers was the Navitity scene she got from the hostesses. It was beatiful. We had a family dinner to celebrate Scott and Stephanie on Saturday night. Lots of fun for one weekend. Next time we head to Dothan, it will be with two children instead of just one! Crazy!!!

Pictures from October

Here are some of our pictures from this week. Ryan, Anna and I took Ellison and Campbell to the pumpkin patch at the Gardens on Saturday. I got some great pictures of Ellison but Campbell was not in the mood for a photo shoot. On Tuesday, we had playgroup at Adrienne's. What a difference a year makes! Last year we were able to get all the kids in a picture together but not this year. Campbell did not want to take part in sitting on the sofa with the rest of the kids. The last few pictures are from the parade today at our church. It was lots of fun to see all the children in their outfits. Happy Halloween!

Fall

Fall Pictures!!!

Here are a few new pictures of Campbell. Campbell had a great time at Aldridge Gardens with her cousins.


Boo at the Zoo!

We had a great time at the zoo Friday night. Our ducklings (Tate and Campbell) had a great time at the zoo. Campbell was not so sure about wearing the hat part.


Cooper Update
We went to the high risk doctor last week for our heart target ultrasound. Everything looks good. We have been released back to our doctor and pregnancy will be back to a normal one. Cooper is kicking up a storm especially at night! I love to feel him move around.

Happy Fall!!!

Update

Thank you for all of you sweet prayers and thoughts during this time. Mo and I can truly feel your prayers. I will go back to the high risk doctor one more time to do a target ultrasound on his heart. It is just to follow up and make sure everything is going well. I feel that it will be fine since we have seen his four chambers and the blood flowing correctly. After that, I will be back to a regular pregnancy. Mo and I have truly been blessed by our circumstances. We have grown much stronger in our walk with God. It is sad to think things like this help us grow closer to God but I would not change our experience for anything.

Oh- We have a name!!!!!! Cooper William!!!

We cannot wait to meet him in the January!

Answer to pray

Hey Everyone,

We just got the call from doctor with the results of the fish test. The fish test test of chromosomes of 13, 18, and 21. These were the ones that the doctors were most concerned with due to the evidence that we were finding in the ultrasound. We got the results and there was no evidence of any of these three. The power of pray is amazing! Here is some of our quite time that I would like to share with you from this morning.

Thank you for all of your prayers during this time. We have truly felt them around us. Thank you for the calls, emals, and cards.
In Gods Hands We Trust,
Ana

We received that book 'Calm My Anixous Heart' from one of my second moms yesturday. Mo and I have enjoyed reading from it over that last few days.

' When What Ifs come into our lives, we must ask ourselves if we're going to judge God by the circumstances we don't understand or judge the circumstances in light of the character of God.

How to handle our problems without worrying
1. Ask yourself what is the worst that can possibly happen.
2. Prepare to accept it if you have to.
3. Then calmyly proceed to impriove on the worst.

each helps the other and says to his brother, 'Be Strong!' - Isaiah 41:6

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strenghten you and help you; I wil uphold you with my righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:10

He will have no feat of bad news; his hearts is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. Psalm 112:7


O Lord, be gracious to us, give us stength in the morning and our salvation in time of distress. - Isaiah 33:2
