80%

We were told yesterday at an ultrasound that it's 80% that this baby is a GIRL! how FUN! I also saw the 3 lines indicating girl parts and no boy parts...but the baby BARELY showed us the goods...so we'll have to get confirmation in about a week.

In other news. Huddy Buddy turned 2 on October 3rd. I have a few pics and some videos, but since we are moving this week, I'm having trouble finding the time and organization to get them edited, and uploaded :)

Where we are :)

Hi everyone. So, we have a lot going on right now, but it is all GOOD stuff. We are so thankful for all of the blessings the Lord has laid on us. We have sold our house, and have bought a new house. The closings are set for October 16th. We are very excited about this, and are praying against being anxious about things going well. So far, we have all of our ducks in a row and are even ahead of the game for packing! (Thanks to some sweet sweet friends who helped up empty our CRAZY large attic last night)

The baby seems to be doing well. I will be 15 weeks on Sunday. My next appointment is in 2 weeks with my regular OBGYN. After that appointment we start our specialist visits on Oct 22nd. On the 22nd, we find out whether the baby is a boy or a girl, and if this protein group that Scott has and I don't is affecting the baby. I am nervous off and on about finding that out, and we ask that you pray first and foremost that the baby does NOT have the protein group. If it does, we ask that you also pray that my antibodies are not aggressively attacking the baby's red blood cells.

A dear sweet friend has allowed me to borrow her medical grade fetal doppler, so that I can listen to the baby's heartbeat as much as I need/want to. I listen to it at least 3 times a day. I know that seems excessive, but it really keeps me calm. The heartbeat started out at 160-170 from weeks 10-13, and has now moved more towards the 150s, sometimes high 140s. This drop is normal in the 2nd trimester.

That's the update for now :) Please pray. We know that God uses your prayers to keep us calm and they are such a blessing to us.

PREGNANT :)

Hey all, we are 13 weeks and 2 days pregnant today! The baby's heartbeat is around 150. Our official due date is on March 21, 2010, but if all goes well, we will have a C-section scheduled for March 14, 2010. We've had 3 sonograms, and the baby looks great!

Vacation Videos!

We LOVE our FLIP VIDEO:
http://www.theflip.com

It's so small and SO easy to work with. The software is so easy to use and makes it so much easier to post videos than iMovie. WOOHOO.

Now that I'm done with my little commercial, enjoy a few vacation videos of Hudson!

We're BACK :)

Whew, so I feel SO behind in my family blog. I have TONS AND TONS of cute videos of Hudson that I need to get up. He's talking up a storm, walking, running, destroying things....all boy, all the time. Anyway. This past week, Scott's parents rented a house on Fripp Island for our 2nd annual Villemain family vacation there. It was WONDERFUL. We had so much fun relaxing on the beach and at the pool, playing cards, reading books, going for rides on the golf cart, going fishing, riding bikes on the island....ahhh I miss it already! Here are a few shots from our vacation!

Prayer Needs

Hi everybody,

So, we are asking for family and friends to pray for us as we move forward with trying to grow our family. We have been medically cleared to start trying for another baby. In the meantime, we are going to be looking into adoption agencies, and hopefully find one that we feel comfortable with. When we do, we will begin adoption classes. This way, if we can't get pregnant, or something happens when we do, we will still be on the road to getting a baby through adoption. We are giving this to the Lord every day, and we are trusting him with our fears, our future, our joy and our faith through this whole part of our life.

Here are a few specific prayer requests that we have:
1. That we could remain calm and trust in the Lord through all of this.
2. For us to get pregnant and for that baby to NOT have the antigen (this would mean there it would be a normal pregnancy)
3. If the baby DOES have the antigen, pray for no major complications with the pregnancy.
4. We would find an adoption agency that we feel comfortable with, and The Lord would help us financially through that process.

Thanks so much for your prayers and thoughts. We are thankful for all of you, and know that God has used your prayers to bless us!

Mother's Day Gift....SHE NEEDS A NAME!

SO, check out what Hudson and Scott got me for Mother's Day!! It's a way COOL funky plant. It's a ponytail palm tree! Right now it can stay inside for a long time. Eventually, in a year or so, it will get too big for the pot it is in, and will need a bigger pot. It's SOO awesome....and it NEEDS a name! Feel free to add a "slogan" to the name if you feel like it...but a name is good too. We want to have a long list to consider from. So far here are what we have come up with:
"Bathsheeba: The sinful temptation of the King" and "Shakira: Her hair don't lie." Feel free to voice your opinion and/or leave MORE suggestions for names and/or slogans.


Isn't she glamorous?


























Also check out the super sweetness that Hudson and Scott drew for me. Scott had to help Huddy Buddy just a little bit...but he did his part too!
