27 Weeks along
















It looks like we have about 9-10 weeks until we are induced. I can't believe how big I am already. I can't imagine that my belly can get any bigger!  We just received our first early baby shower gift from Grandma Julie, Aunt Sue, and Jules--our Eddie Bauer stroller and infant car seat, so adorable! We love it and can't wait to put Brody in!

Brody James Brown's room--A work in progress


The nursery is coming along! Thanks to my wonderful mom, we have a new crib and dresser for our precious Brody!  We have a blue, white, and yellow jungle-themed room that will be ready for his homecoming! He is getting so strong that you can actually see him moving inside me by watching the bouncing and movement.  His heartbeat is still strong at high 150's to mid 160's because he's constantly moving around!  Enjoy the pics!  About 10-11 more weeks to go!!!!

It's been, to say the least, a very difficult last 6 weeks due to my asthma and hole in my heart, preventing some oxygenated air into my lungs. However, Brody and I have survived and are thankfully home from the hospital. A couple of times, we were close to not being here anymore, but the Lord has saved me yet again!  Thank you to so many of you who came to visit Cody, Brody, and I, calling us, and sending cards and gifts, and of course, for your prayers While it can still be quite difficult to breathe, bed rest at home can be a little bit more fun than in the hospital.  Cody has been more than WONDERFUL through everything, helping me from cleaning and cooking to comforting and encouraging me.  My mom has already been a huge help here at home because Cody is often at work. 

Brody is doing great! He's kicking and rolling and growing so fast! When I have enough air, I sing to him lightly and I think I found out his favorite song to be, "My Favorite Things," because he really reacts to that song, as well, as Cody's made-up songs.

We are anxiously waiting for the next 3 months to be over so hopefully I can breathe a little easier we can meet BRODY JAMES! Cody and I can't stop thinking about being with him, what he looks like, what he'll be like, and everything about being parents to Brody.  

Please keep praying for us as I still have quite a difficult time breathing even on oxygen and frequent breathing treatments.
