Mother's Day

Wow, what a time since our last post.  Rach is now 16 weeks pregnant, 16 weeks!  Time is flying by and GC (game changer) will be here before we know it. Of course being the preparedness freaks that we are, we have almost none of the things needed.  Fortunately we did find a crib at an amazing price so we can check that of the list.  Only 999 to go!  It was already put together, but unfortunately would not fit through the bedroom door.  It only sat in the living room for a couple days until we got it in the room.

Our neice Madyson Lynn Cooley was born on April 28th!  What a wonderful bundle of joy she has been not only to Corey and Mallory, but the whole Cooley family.  We pray that she continues to be healthy and grows into the girl and woman of God she was created to be.  I got to hold her yesterday.  I figured I needed to practice- and why not try it with a kid that's not mine.

Here is our first ultrasound picture for those who haven't seen it.  This was at 6 weeks, so baby has grown a lot since then (they are now the size of an avocado).  We go back to the doctor on the 23rd for another ultrasound to check the organs, etc.  This would be when we find out the sex, but we're not going to.  

Here are some belly pics:

On Mother's Day we thank God for our wonderful mothers and realize what a blessing they are.  I know Rach is thankful for the opportunity to be a mother soon.
