Updates...

Well, we are sad to update all of you that things did not go as we had hoped with this pregnancy. We are of course very sad. Both Vince and I were so excited about our family growing and it is hard to know that we are going to have to wait a little longer to have another child. However, we have prayed a lot about this and have been able to find peace. We are very hopeful that God will give us another baby soon.

So, that is our news right now. I hope that in the next few months we are able to share good news again, and until then... we will just keep praying.

I thought I would add some pictures from the past few weeks to remind us that we have so much to be thankful for. I hope you enjoy them.

Can you tell these were taken on St. Patrick's Day? :)

A good month!

Well, it's only the 6th of March, but I must say that it has been a wonderful month! We started out our month with some fun visitors. Aunt Jen and Kathryn came to visit us for a week. Grace had SOO much fun with "Baby Kathryn." Poor Kathryn may forever be known as "Baby Kathryn," because that is all Grace wants to call her. :) Here are some pictures of the cute cousins!

As you can see, they are two peas in a pod.

And, we all got to cheer when Kathryn decided to roll over for the first time. :) Jen has told me that she now wants to roll non-stop... and she has decided it's really fun to roll over when getting a diaper change!

So, it seems that Grace may be ready to become a big sister... and it's come with perfect timing because we just found out that Baby O'C #2 is on the way!! We are ecstatic!! Vince left TDY the day before I found out, so I had the pleasure of telling him over the webcam. :) I can't wait until he gets back home so we can finally give each other a big hug! Grace seems very excited about a new baby coming, but has put in her vote that, "I want a baby girl." We've tried to explain that God gets to decide if it's a boy or a girl, but she just repeats, "I want a baby girl." It's really funny! I'm a little over 4 weeks right now, so lots of prayers for a healthy baby are always much appreciated. :) Vince and I will go for our first ultra sound at the end of this month. We'll keep you updated. Yippee!!
