Happy Thanksgiving.

This holiday reminds me how much i have to be thankful for, from the smallest of things to the largest.

1) The love and relationship i have with my saviour! What could you be more thankful for?

2) My wonderful husband, Andrew. It is our first Thanksgiving as a married couple. Yay:)

3) Our little unborn baby, soon to be here in about 22 weeks!

4) Our awesome family. I am thankful for my family, and the wonderful family i have gained through andrew:) they are amazing.

5) Wonderful friends

6) a heated home, a warm meal, a hot shower, clothes, shoes, sight, speech, hearing, mobility and everything else God has blessed me with in this life (the list could go on forever)

Enjoy the day. Do not get caught up in the festivities without thanking God for everything you encounter today, and everyday. We all find the things to be thankful for on THANKSgiving day, but every day is full of things to be thankful for. Lets have thanksgiving every day (minus the large meal and family gathering!).......God Bless you today, and every day.

Happy Turkey Day.......live.in.love

Pregnancy Woe's

So, as of thursday, November 19, I have been prego for 17 weeks. wow. how time flies. I think the first trimester has been the most difficult part of our journey so far. The sickness was not fun, but it is well worth it in the end. Now we are onto the second trimester and going strong. At our last doctors visit this was what went down:

1) Urine test (dehydration and sugar): everything was perfect:)

2) Weigh in: since Sept 18 gained 14 lbs. 

3) fetal heartbeat: 152 beats/minute (very good)

4) BP:96/62....good

5)Schedule next app: Dec. 4th, Ultra sound to determine sex of baby!

Things are moving right along and everything has been amazing so far. We will find out what our little tater tot (what we are calling he or she) will be in 1 week and 5 days! ah. We cannot wait. We have 100% decided on names:

girl: Adley Grace Taylor

boy: Steven Gage Taylor

God is so good. It is amazing to think there is a little life growing inside of me. How miraculous. 

Cravings i have been having include:

1) pickles

2) banana peppers

3) milk duds

4) orange juice

5) brown sugar and cinnamon pop tarts

how crazy is that mixture? haha

please pray for a safe and healthy remainder of pregnancy, and an even safer child birth! i am so thankful for all of our great family's support and love. what would we do without you?

-----We love you tater tot:).......
