I am so thankful for . . .

This week reminds me of how many great things we need to be thankful for. God has blessed us each so much. This week I am so thankful for my family. Thanksful that my parents have been married over 30 years, and thankful Chad's parents have been married over 30 years. We have such a great history to set forth for our children on how important it is to put God first in your lives, and HE will give you what you need from there!

This week I am thankful for my home, the cloths on my back, and the love in my life. There are so many people that don't have these things that are deserving of them and it breaks my heart to know there are people out there without, when I have SO MUCH!- TOO MUCH ACTUALLY! Im so thankful to have loving parents, (2 sets of them), my husbandm, and my loyal friends.

Im also thankful that I am 3 months pregnant the week of Thanksgiving!!! What a BIG BLESSING!

I challenge you all this week to thank God for all the great joys he has given you and don't let ONE second go by that you don't thank HIM because without his grace we wouldn't be here...

11 weeks and counting

So I am 11 weeks and had another ultra sound today. Everything looked fabulous and the babies heartbeat was 150bpm. When the doctor was doing the ultra sound, we saw the baby jump and move it's arms. It was such a special moment and a tear just streamed down my face. I was so happy... it's so amazing how God can create such a little thing and it's actually jumping and moving it's arms after days of them being formed! I was in aw. . . I go back to the doctor in 4 weeks for some tests, and then we find out what it is in 7 weeks!

Right now Chad is cooking for me and I am resting! I am exhausted after getting all that fun Christmas stuff up! I was a little emotional today so I am taking it easy, haha! PART OF IT!

Stay tuned for more wonderful news, so far so good.... ;)

Christmas Decorating . . .

Okay, so I already have all of my Christmas Decor up! I spent all Sunday evening putting up the tree, decorating the mantle, and putting all of my tables together. It was so much fun! Chad helped me although I think he was getting frustrated because I am so picky about my tree! I love it!

Baby is doing well, I am 11 weeks and I have another ultra sound tomorrow at 3:45 so please keep us in your prayers!

Here is a pic of some decor!

10 Weeks and feeling good . . . .

Friends and Family -

I am now 10 weeks and feeling SO much better. The past few weeks have been so tough on me, but I am doing really good. I am actually going to purchase my first new pair of maternity pants tonight. Sad but I had to role my dress pants today to get them to stay on! It's COMPLETELY worth it.

Chad and I are doing really good. What a great husband I have! He has done all the cooking and cleaning! You name it, he has been by my side. He deserves a special treat!

Stay tuned, I am going to work hard to keep this updated so you can follow our progress. My next doctor appointment is next week for my 2nd ultra sound!

Baby Linam: 7 Weeks Ultrasound

We're Having a Baby!!

So we are expecting!!!! I am 9 weeks this week and feeling terrible, but blessed at the joy that has finally entered out life again. Chad and I are just tickled pink that we are finally pregnant again.

I had my first ultra sound on 10/24 and the baby is completely fine and the heartbeat was strong and 130 bpm. I am feeling great!

I hope to keep the blog updated more frequently, I haven't been so good at it!

XOXO,
Chad and Ashley
