Belly Shot...

Sorry they are so late, Amanda!




So this is my first time taking a belly shot of my little #2. Everything seems to be going exactly like the first. With Truett I had the "PMS" like symptoms until about 7 weeks. Which I am still having on an occasion. I am in my 6th week and as of Friday I'll begin my 7th week. I get hungry a little bit faster than normal and I am pretty tired, all the same symptoms as with Truett. I'd love to tell you I'm having cravings, but just like last time I just choose to eat bad when I eat chocolate! :) I will post my 6 week shot soon, stay posted!

With Truett I used an OB in Alexandria. After having a horrible birth experience, Wayne and I have decided to use a midwife center in Lafayette called Gentle Choices. We are so excited they are going to take us. We are about an hour and a half away and I am a VBAC patient, but they have taken ALL precautions for caring for a VBAC patient. There is also a OB that works with them in emergency cases. I will see him as well as their midwives just to be acquainted. My first appointment is next week, I'll post and let you know how it goes.

Another subject of interest: We might not find out what the gender is with this one. We have been discussing why we would and why we would not. Right now we are undecided. I will not need an ultrasound unless something unforeseen happens. I can have one if I choose to. We are hoping for an unmedicated, natural, labor and look forward to an atmosphere that encourages this. We are so excited about this little one and I can't wait to see things progress. To God be the glory, great things he hath done!

Surprise...

I don't know how else to tell you, but I'm....



I can't believe Truett is going to be a big brother and I'm really going to have another little boy or girl! God is so good!

Water, Woodchips, and Walmart

Today we woke up and went to Lake Buhlow to watch the boat races. Truett heard them the other day when we passed the lake, they were doing test runs. We told him we would come back and let him watch them. He enjoyed it but when the boats would start up right beside us (we were sitting right next to where the boats docked) he would put his hands over his ears. We only stayed for 2 or 3 races, I'm glad the admission was free to the public. We left to play on our playground at church. We left there to pick up some sandwich fixings for tonight. We have some friends of ours over almost every Saturday to fellowship and discuss God's Word, theology and doctrine (mostly the men) and babies, our children, family, and cooking (mostly us ladies). We end with dessert, yummy! Sometimes we end up at the church playground, maybe a half mile away! We love our dear brothers and sisters.

What I see when I'm at a wedding!

Sorry, I can't help myself! It's been nearly 7 years married and he STILL takes my breath away... God is so good!

Love is as strong as death...

Song of Solomon 8:6-7
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.

Congratulations, Bridget and Tyler!

Thank you for letting us share this special day with you!!

Please, don't adjust your computer!

Truett usually doesn't get his paci unless it's night-night time... but he somehow sneaked 3 paci's into the bathtub! I will miss this little phase of his life, I feel it slipping through my fingers as we speak. I'm determined to enjoy what is left of the "baby stage". In these pictures he really does look like a baby. Sweet Truett, I wish you could possibly know what you mean to me and your daddy! Thank you for bringing so much joy into our lives for such a short time!






I'm just playing with some effects. Truett continues to be our stand up comic! Gotta love him!

Happy Birthday, Nanna!

"The one thing I ask of the Lord -
the thing I seek most -
is to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
delighting in the Lord's perfections
and meditating in His Temple."
(Psalm 27:4, NLT)

Happy Birthday, Nanna, Momma and Friend!

"All the days ordained for me
were written in Your book
before one of them came to be."
(Psalm 139:16b, NIV)

What does Truett mean?

I've searched for Truett's name many times and there is very little known about where this name originated. One site says, Truett is of English origin and means: little, honest and another site says his name means Truth!

Bucket Head!

Just makes you want to put a bucket on your head!!

If I could put time in a bottle....

it would be right now!

Humpty Dumpty...

Truett loves reading nursery rhymes. He kisses Humpty Dumpty's boo boo. This is a day at the playground.

Don't you play the trumpet in your bathtub?

Practicing!


Here he blows!

Wasn't it beautiful?

Happy Wedding Day!

Congratulations Tyler and Bridget, thank you for letting us be a part of your special day! We love you both! - Wayne Heather and Truett

Come in, Captain Truett
