A little bit of everything

I was reading an article the other day about how babies (while in the womb) are often more sluggish in the morning and get more active as the day goes one, with their most activity being in the evening and at night. With my first two I would have agreed completely. I used to lay in bed at night and watch them dance and wiggle. But with Caedon, he's totally opposite. Most mornings when I wake up, my second thought (you know, the first being "Ugh. Do I have to be awake yet?") is, "Good morning, Caedon!" because I usually feel the sensation of his movement as soon as I'm conscious. :) I love it. I love being pregnant.

My baby girl is FOUR years old! I can't believe it! She had an awesome birthday party, with lots of friends and presents and playtime at the park. But I think her favorite part of being four is that she now gets two vitamins at bedtime just like Kyler. :) A few pictures:

So excited for her party - and to open all those fun presents!

Ready for cake!

Party fun! She was so glad to have so many friends join her for her party!

I love this picture even though Melissa was being grouchy and wouldn't smile :)

"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

I think of this verse often when I'm pregnant. Because it's in the quiet, still moments that I really feel my baby moving and really focus on the miracle that is the child growing inside. I mean, there's a PERSON inside of me. A teeny, tiny naked person, as I tell Brian. :) A little person who has his own personality. It's really amazing. It's hard to notice when I'm busy and moving around but when I get still and really focus, that's when I feel and see all of the little kicks and turns and movements. He's just waiting for me to pay attention!

God is the same way. I get so distracted and busy with all of the stuff of life but it's when I really take the time to sit and rest in Him that I can see His hand moving and hear His voice in my life.

It's a boy! We went for my sonogram this morning at 9 and I just loved seeing my sweet baby on that screen. I can already tell he's one of the 3 cutest kids ever. :) The kids were a little bit disappointed at first that it was a boy. They both wanted a girl. But Kyler did say that when the baby is grown up "he can be my new best buddy" so I think he'll adjust pretty well.

I got a DVD of the sonogram and it's just so beautiful to see that tiny heart beating. And he was sucking his thumb! We could even see his sweet little mouth moving to suck on it. It was the most amazing thing! I loved it. The sonographer said that she sees them play with their feet and kick alot but that it's been a long time since she's seen one sucking its thumb. :) I told Caedon to enjoy it while he's in there because I'll be pushing the paci on him when he gets out here. They're much easier to take away than the thumb habit!

Look at that cute little foot :)

And again - I love how well you can see the spine in this one:
And there's...well...you know. It's a boy. :)
We're so excited! Already went to Wal-Mart and bought some clearance stuff for him. Now time to do some registering.... :)
