It's a Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well... We found out today we are having a boy!!! We are SUPER excited and Donovan is over the moon. The sucky thing is that we where supposed to have a 3D ultrasound today. Well silly me hasn't been drinking enough water... they say you should drink at least a gallon of water a day when you are pregnant. I am lucky if I drink half that.

In order to get a GOOD image on the 3D your baby has to be in a super full sac of amniotic fluid. Well since I have not been drinking water like I should, my baby is cramped inside my body with not a whole lot of amniotic fluid. So we made another appointment on Nov 21st. I was instructed to drink at least 4 liters of water a day until then so that they can get better 3D images!!!! So when that happens I will most those images! For the regular ultrasound you do not need all the amniotic fluid to get good results.

So my husband keeps telling me "DRINK MORE WATER"... he makes sure I get enough!

I am happy to say that my good friend Brianna started a blog today. I am so excited for her. If you want to read her blog just let me know and I can have her send you an invitation to read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is super cute!Her and I have a great past, great present, and a God blessed future as friends/family. You may be wondering why I call her family/cousin. She is Donovan's cousin, however Donovan and I are VERY close to her and her husband Cory!... Here is a silly picture of Brianna and I one day at a party!!!!


One more thing- I just want to say THANK YOU to all our Veterans who have served for the U.S. military. Even if you are a soldier THANK YOU for all you do. It is because of you that I can even write this blog. May the love of God bless you all!

Thank You, Lord, for the men and women of our armed forces. Protect them as they protect us. Defend them as they defend us. Encourage and strengthen their spirit, soul, and body in the execution of their duties and responsibilities. May they be mentally and physically strong when required to face the challenges of combat. Under gird them with Your Holy Spirit and might when they are called upon to endure the hardships of battle.
I pray that nothing would take them by surprise, but that they would be aware of all potential aggression. Enable them to curtail hostile actions before they start. Reveal to military leaders the strategies and plots that enemies would wage. Give leaders wisdom and insight in all decisions. May response to any aggression by enemies of this nation be swift, accurate, and effective.
Father, give our military favor with the governmental agencies of this country. I pray that our Congress would appropriate sufficient funds to keep our nation's military preeminent and strong in the world.
Thank You, Lord, for providing America with the best trained, equipped, and lead military force in the world today. Fill them with Your saving grace and the gospel of peace that they may be shining witnesses of Your heavenly love.
Enrich them spiritually that they may cope with life and death situations on the field of battle. When their military brothers and sisters fall in action, give them the strength to continue the good fight. Relieve any feelings of guilt that they may experience if they have to kill another of Your children, in every situation. Help them to realize that they are called to perform at capacity, and unfortunately killing others may sometimes be required of them. Instill in them Your love, showing them mercy and forgiveness when they must break the fifth commandment out of necessity. Whenever possible, guide them to find more humane ways to achieve their goals, keeping the number of casualties at a minimum.
In Jesus' Holy Name, I humbly pray. Amen.
