Another Baby Girl!

That's right!  We are having another precious baby girl!  We are so excited!  Yesterday we went to have a 15 week 3D/4D ultrasound to determine the sex of our baby.  I felt in my heart that it would be another girl, based on the heart rate at our last two appointments, Ava was for sure that it would be a girl, and Kyle didn't really have any predictions.  We spent a good chunk of our Saturday morning watching our precious new baby inside my womb.  It was truly amazing!    She stayed in the same position the entire time we watched her...lounging away comfortably.  She is already a thumb sucker...she kept putting her thumb in her mouth throughout the entire ultrasound.  She also loves hanging on to the placenta that's floating around in there with her.  She held on to it with one arm and her hand was either by her mouth or in her mouth for the rest of the time.  This is totally unlike Ava when she was in the womb.  Ava was a crazy girl, flipping and flopping all around!




We had our baby's beautiful name already picked out.  Anniston Leigh Brooks.  We are so glad that we can talk about her and pray for her by name now.

Our afternoon consisted of telling the family what we were having and what the name would be.  My sister came up with a fun idea for a gender reveal party, so we had to tell her before that began.  We filled up a black balloon with pink confetti and let her pop it.  She was ecstatic!  We let Ava do the same thing with a balloon and she was happy, but it was no big surprise to her that she would be having a baby sister, she's basically known since day one.  The family came over and we divided them into four teams.  Each team had to put together a white puzzle that would reveal the name of the baby.  The team that finished first got to shout out the name for the rest of the family.  This was such a fun way to tell everyone!  After we shared the big news, we all came in and watched the DVD of the ultrasound and had some refreshments.  It was such a fun day!  Everyone is SO excited to welcome sweet Anniston to our family in November!

God Hears Our Prayers

Hey everyone! I've been anxiously waiting the day that I could let everyone know that I found a job! I'm going to be a third grade teacher at an awesome school! I'm so very excited and I have lots to learn in the next three weeks! I feel like the last three months have been such a roller coaster for Kyle and I. Yes, I say Kyle and I because a job loss does not just affect the person who loses their job, it affects the whole family. We have learned so much during the past three months. We've learned how to be strong when the other is weak, we've learned that we have a lot of prayer warriors/friends, we've learned so much about patience and prayer, but MOST importantly we have learned how the Lord can take a not so fun situation like job loss, and make that a blessing. Kyle and I have grown so close to the Lord throughout this time, and closer to one another as well. The Lord has richly blessed our marriage in the last few months and has provided in every way. We...

Now Introducing Ava Layne Brooks

Kind of fuzzy, but a great memory! It's a Girl!!! One of the only pictures of the cards I made! Yesterday was a pretty big day for Kyle and I. We had our first ultrasound and found out that we are having a precious baby girl! We were so shocked when the ultrasound tech. said it was a girl because everyone had convinced us it was going to be a boy. We were shocked but so very excited. This day was extremely emotional for me. As soon as I left school I was sobbing with joy. I just could not believe that in a few short minutes I was going to see our baby! I have honestly never been so overjoyed in all my life. The ultrasound was so fun. I laughed and cried the whole way through it. She was bouncing all over the place. We were really hoping we would get a good view of whether or not the baby was a boy or a girl an...
