Introducing....Poppy!!!


This is the first picture of our newest baby!! We call the baby Poppy because when we first told the kids we were expecting, the internet said it was about the size of a poppy seed (it's grown now, all the way to the size of a lentil bean!!).

I had my first ultrasound yesterday. I'm about 6 1/2 weeks along now. We were able to see the heart beating, so that was very exciting!! I know the picture is blurry, I had trouble scanning it, so I had to take a picture of the picture and they all turned out pretty blurry. This was the best one. The baby is what the white arrow is pointing to.

Our baby is due October 5th. That's the exact week we had our Disney trip planned for, so we had to cancel that one! We are actually going in a couple weeks and then we're planning to go again in December so we can take the new baby as well. Our first ever Disney trip was when Abby was 2 months old and Noah was almost 3. This time Noah will be almost 10, Abby will be 7 and the baby will be 2 months old!!

I'm a little nervous about "starting over". I mean Abby will be 7 before the baby is born, so it's been awhile since I've done this, but I'm also very excited for this third blessing that's been given to me. God is so good.

Well I'd better go start lessons now!! Have a great week!!!

Oh Jamie, Congratulations!!! That is wonderful news. I am so excited for you and your family. What a wonderful blessing! Please keep us updated during the pregnancy. Are you finding the sex? Oct. 5th seems s long ways off, but it will be here before you know it! I picture Abby being a little momma for poppy. Are the kids excited? Wow...what great news!

I think the starting over thing will be way more exciting since your children will be such helpers. They are not nearly as needy at those ages so you will not feel as guilty about caring for the baby so much. With Sammy being 3 1/2 when Sawyer was born, it was even easier than them being so close together as far has sammy being more independant. I think it will be such a beautiful sharing experience with the 2 older children. And Abby will get great experience and Noah on working, handling and loving children. What a blessing!
