umm...so...Hi! I'm Rachel, and I am SO NOT new here but where the stinkers have I been?? lol seriously, I am sorry.

I mentioned in a couple of posts down that Reagan was about to be turning ONE! ...well she is almost 15 months old and I have YET to show you how CUTE she was on her birthday! soo...drumroll please....

There she is! ... I know, I know! shes beautiful! :o) THANKS! Her birthday was a blast. We ate LOTS of cake and LOTS AND LOTS of chicken and cheese buffalo dip...YUMMO! Her cake was super duper cute.

Ok...on to baby news! IT'S A BOY!! Wilfred Charles IV is on his way! We will call him "Will". At my "big ultrasound" the OB found a Choroid Plexus Cyst on his brain.........Don't panic. He told us it was nothing to really worry about and they usually go away before the baby is born and don't normally cause brain damage. Ok, is this a test? This is definitely something I am having to place in God's hands or I would be a NERVOUS WRECK! God has granted me peace, and I am greatful! I will be having another ultrasound on November 6 just so they can keep watching it and depending on how it's changed, if any change has occurred, they may/may not send me to UAB to get a better ultrasound done...I love Birmingham, but I would rather not spend an afternoon up there for that reason. So please pray specifically that this cyst some how miraculously has dissappeared already or if it has changed that it will be a good change! I will def. keep you guys updated as soon as possible! I am excited about being able to see our little boy again! With my insurance we only get 2 ultrasounds but now I just get extra because of the cyst. Aweful circumstances, but I feel blessed nonetheless. I wish I had a scanner so I could show you all Will's ultrasound pictures...HE'S SO CUTE! but I dont...and I am sorry! :o(

My husband goes off for basic training for the Army in 11 DAYS!! :o( I am soo proud of him! I am also very nervous and anxious...SO MANY EMOTIONS I really don't think I can name them all. I am mostly excited about where our new life as a family is heading and how God will use us wherever we go! Please pray for my husband as he gets shipped away to training! Pray for strength, courage, perseverance, and most of all that he will stay strong in God's word DAILY and be a witness to his fellow soldiers! I really am excited to see how God will use him during this time. I will get to see him during Christmas time for a week! and then Reagan and I will be moving to our new duty station hopefully in February! (Right before Will gets here!!) Pray for my sanity as I am being left behind to live at my in-laws home until FEBRUARY....Pray for my patience with them and jsut pray that everything will just happen smoothly...HOOAH! Our family will be taking Christmas pictures on Halloween...(CRAZY! I KNOW!) but it's the only way to get Christmas cards sent since he will be gone! I'M SO EXCITED!!! :o)

Oh gracious. It's only 2:30 and I am exhausted from being at work and ready to see my baby girl and my sweet husband!
