Off to the races!!!

Was planning a big update before I got to this particular bit of news, but I took Christi in to the doctor today because the baby was breech last time and even though the doc sent her to the hospital and manually turned him, the boy has apparently decided to practice somersaults this last week and is again feet down.  Totally breech.  Christi's doc is sending us into the hospital again to try and turn this sucker, but this time, when that's done, we'll fire up the pitosin and begin inducing.  So it looks like today, (or sometime early tomorrow) will be BABY DAY!!  I will be tweeting live as we go with as many pics as she'll let me take.  I can't video until afterwards (hospital policy) but when I can, that will go up as well.  Pray for us, wish us luck, and we'll see you on the other side!

The time has come for #17!

Well folks, we have finally passed a hurdle that we have been working hard to jump and we have decided to make an official announcement:

We are pregnant with our 17th, wonderful baby!!

As many of you may know, we have been trying to conceive and have had 2 losses.  We are at the 11 week mark with no issues, a perfect ultrasound and we have passed the 10 week mark where we lost our other 2.  Christi and I had told a few people, some via Facebook and a few in person, but we finally feel comfortable sharing it here in a blog post.  In Christi's words:

"11 weeks today 11 weeks today, wooohoooo finally past my last 2 losses at near 10 weeks, first milestone, getting to 6 weeks with no issues, then 8 weeks with a great ultrasound, now past 10 weeks, wooohoooo hope to hear a heartbeat on Thursday 4-11. Woohooooo our 17th child so far is really really on the way God willing."

She has a way with the woooohoooo, that's for sure!  This is her 24th pregnancy in total, and at 11 weeks, it looks like this:

Needless to say we are extremely happy to finally be able to share this news!  To those of you who already knew and offered congratulations, and those who have offered up prayers when you knew we were trying, we say thanks!  We look forward to more good news and updates until the ultimate update, which should be around October 26th.

God Bless!
