Easter and a new Baker

Wow have they grown, look at these two georgious little ones Antonio (5yrs) and Mia (3yrs) and the love they have for eachother both brother and sister.  Easter was low key where  my husband took the kids over to his mom's while I enjoyed an afternoon kid free having brunch with my dad, sister, and his girlfriend Judith. 

Well, days before Easter I started feeling queezy and of course with the kids just getting over the stomach bug I thought nothing of it.  James and I had been trying for a third bundle of joy for about two years now so I decided to purchase a home pregnancy test to be sure.   To my surprise it was positive, I immediatly cried and fell to my knees praising God for this wonderful new gift.  

I was so eager to tell the children as they have been praying with us for a new addition to the family.  The kids of course were elated to find out they have a new brother or sister on the way.   My first ultrasound was on 3/24/2012 and all we saw was a gestational sack but no baby.  I had to wait 10 grooling days waiting for the ultrasound repeat to see if this preganancy was viable.

On 4/18/2012 I was able to finally catch a glimpse of my tiny growing baby with a flickering heartbeat. The ultrasound tech said the baby was 7weeks and 4 days old and should arrive somewhere around 11/29/2012. It amazes me how soon you can see this tiny little heartbeat. 

Needless to say James and I are extremly excited about this new bundle of joy.  Although I've been sick, exhausted, and utterly drained I'm smiling on the inside at the honor of carrying life once again.
