Excited big sissy!

Just wanted to share a picture of Haylee's new "big sis" shirt. She is so excited about this new baby and has been practicing how to take care of her with her dolly. I will try to put a video up of her in action here but if it doesn't work, just go to http://www.youtube.com/user/haylee092507 to see it. We have finally agreed on the name Jadyn Nicole!! She is already quite the gymast and I love sitting on the couch watching my stomach jump all over the place. Haylee loves pushing on my belly to try to get her to move and thinks that it's hilarious to pull my shirt up and say "pop" when she sees my belly button...

On a side note, please keep us in prayer as we begin to plan the next step in our life. Although the military is not in any way the direction we saw our lives going, we are really beginning to see why God put us here. We have some big plans that we are working towards putting in motion and though we are not quite ready to share them yet, we ask that you keep us in prayer that we truly seek God's direction in all of it. He has always surprised us with where He has directed our path and we can't wait to see where we end up next!!!

SURPRISE!!!!

Yesterday was our big appointment to find out what the sex of the baby is....and it's a GIRL!!!! We were honestly shocked because we have been pretty sure that it's a boy. But she was 95% sure that we're having another little girl and we are thrilled. It will be so much easier just adding to our girly collection of baby stuff and Haylee is so excited to have a new sissy. John told me that we have to eventually have a boy so I'm praying that the next one is a boy so we don't end up with 12 kids...in the mean time, I told him we can get a male dog to even it out a little.
As far as a name...we haven't quite decided for sure so until we have it set in stone we are going to keep quiet. It's been hard trying to figure it out this time! We will let you know when we know for sure!

I have to brag a little, sorry...

So John and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary next month on the 15th and we've been throwing around ideas of what to do for it. Our first choice was Paris but flights are booked for the entire month of July so we went to plan B...WE'RE GOING TO VENICE!!!!! Our flights are booked and now we just have to find a hotel and I need to go shopping for Venice clothes! Quite a step up from our last 2 anniversaries, camping at Carlsbad Caverns, NM on our first (and I was 7 months pregnant) and a weekend visiting John at Tech School in Wichita Falls, Texas last year. This year, Venice, Italy and once again I will be 7 months pregnant... =) And Haylee is staying with a friend so it will be just John and I. Probably our last trip away before our family of 3 becomes 4.
Alright, I'm done bragging...
We are still enjoying the beautiful weather here and are spending lots of time in the pool. We want to get a bigger pool so we can all sit in it but don't think we can fit it in our car to get it home. We'll find a way! We are planning on going to Oxford tomorrow so I will have pictures up soon. And Thursday we find out the sex of the little one!!!
Love you all!
