Man, I'm old

We were being silly. I'm not so sure close ups are a good idea anymore. Of course, this angle wasn't the best choice for my nose, but that's not the only thing!
Here's Jace doing his favorite thing right now. Building with the legos. He always puts the little dude on top.

I've debated whether or not to post this. My family and some friends know already. I'm past the 1st trimester, so it's harder to ignore. We are due at the end of October. We have really mixed feelings. We would love to have another child. But are frankly TERRIFIED. I don't exactly have healthy pregnancies. Now we even have proof that the complications cause neurological problems for our babies, and my choices of OB's aren't the best around here. I won't even go into all the other reasons. Oddly, I have felt there was another spirit waiting, so I had to trust. After Clayton, I know that it doesn't always mean you will have the baby in your arms at the end of the pregnancy, regardless of any promptings or knowledge of that spirit. So even though it may not turn out the expected way, we've gone with it.

Congratulations! I am in shock but not at all surprised. I have felt strongly as well that we have another spirit to bring to our family. I have tried and tried to keep it out of my head so hard that I end up in tears and overcome with emotion.
I wish you the best and I hope you know I am cheering you on and wish only the best.. I wish you were here in Utah~ we have some of the greatest doctors.
Keep me posted and take care...
