Madison's 12th Birthday!

Well, my "little' girl turned 12 last week(2/11)!! Almost a teenager, scary!!!!! I can't believe she is getting so old! This year she had an ice-skating party and invited 15 friends! This was one of her biggest parties yet! They had a lot of fun and Isabella was able to ice-skate for the first time. She loved it! Since I'm pregnant, I didn't skate but I really wanted too! Matt did instead and it was only his second time to skate in his life so he basically never let go of the wall! Here are some pics from her special day.

Well, yesterday was the day........

The day of my 20 week sonogram! And we found out we are having a ..........................can you guess?






It's a girl!!! The top picture is a great close-up shot of her profile and the bottom picture is her complete profile-you can see her kicking up her leg! She was moving quite a bit! I was a little surprised when they said it was a girl(and a little sad I must admit), because this pregnancy had really felt different so far, especially my morning sickness, so I really thought it was a boy. And I think it was only natural to hope for a boy after having 2 girls. But we are of course very thankful for whatever God gives us. We know that we are blessed and we are thrilled to welcome another girl!(I guess this just means we'll have to try for #4!!) All of her measurements were great-everything was right on target. We've chosen Anna for her first name, but haven't decided for sure on her middle name. It may be Anna Leigh(Leigh is my middle name), but we are still considering other names too. Continue to keep us all in your prayers and I'll try and do better about posting! : )
