Got it off of Craig's List for $60! We have to buy a mattress but I wanted a new mattress anyway.
Just too tired to post pics, but I will soon!! It is beautiful.
We prayed about it because we have a tiny budget. They were asking 80. God blessed us!
Oh and I finally found a cheap place to buy decent Maternity clothes! It is a consignment shop in Murfreesboro. We walked in right as they were closing, but the lady stayed almost an hour helping me. So nice!
We talked and found out that we had a lot in common. Remember her dad in your prayers. He is in the hospital.
Women's prayer service was nice tonight. I got tickled during prayer because Braden kept kicking! I just can't help myself. I laugh every time I feel him. It is just so amazing to me that God would grant me this dream. Problem tonight though, he was on my bladder. (At least it seemed to be that way!LOL!)
Sunday was a great day and I enjoyed lunch with Sis. Campbell. She and Bro. Campbell were such a blessing to us when first came to TN!
I have to say something about Sunday Service. It was like drinking fresh water after being in the sun all day! Refreshing. I had been praying for several months about an answer to a question I had personally. Sunday I just told the Lord that I needed it settled because it was hindering me. I got up and walked to the other side of the auditorium to pray for others and this lady grabs both my arms and proceeds to tell me the answer to my question. She had no idea what I had been praying and still doesn't, but for several minutes she plainly told me what I had asked God to show me. Cool! HUH?
God cares about all things in our life and He wants us to be happy. Sometimes I think we forget that! One day when I finish my book I'll tell what I so desired to know, but for now I will ponder it in my heart.
What was even more amazing is that the Devil reared his ugly head today and because I had my answer, I just laughed. God has it all sealed up and satan can't touch what God has annointed and appointed.

Houston We Have A Crib!

Like Father, Like Son
This was Bobby's Cradle when he was a baby. His uncle Roger Johns built it for him. Isn't it beautiful. It is very special to me and I and grateful that Bobby's mom is letting us use it.
This is Brady the horse! The Bible is the very first thing Bobby bought for Braden. He gave it to me when he picked me up from the airport in Chicago right we found out I was pregnant. It was a very special day!

He Is Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had the "BIG SCAN" yesterday and everything went wonderful! Our son is happy and healthy and I am so thankful and grateful. They saw no markers for Downs (Which has been a concern because of my age.) and his spine was perfect. It wouldn't change our love for him, but I have been concerned about our age and how well he would be took care of if something happened to us.
God has been good to us in so many ways! We had the best ultrasound tech. Of course they said the only way to know for sure everything is okay was to have an amnio, but it is too risky and well it wouldn't change anything. God has the answer and that's all that matters. When I was having so many complications I just got to the place where I said, "Lord, you are the only one who has control and can take care of my child, I trust you." Things have been better since. Praise the Lord!
He is beautiful. The tech laughed and said that he was ornery because he was face down and wouldn't turn around so she could easily check his organs and about the time she would get a fix on him he would start moving. LOL! I said , "Yep! He's his daddy's son!" LOL! I saw his heart, bladder, kidneys, his feet and all ten toes, his itty bitty hands with all ten precious fingers, eyes (Which still looks a little scarey.LOL!), and on and on. Oh, his nose too!
Bobby was funny the whole time. We were all laughing and imagining him when he gets here. I told the tech that when he is old enough I will bring him back to apologize for being ornery! LOL!
My NP was pleased with my sugars and I am beginning to feel healthier. Because of the diabetes the baby will be coming two weeks earlier than planned. He should be here the first week in August. Guess when our lease is up? The last week in July! LOL! I think God is providing a way so that things won't be that rushed.
Our big decisions ,,, the kid still doesn't have a name,,, now that he is coming earlier I am thinking I might take him to the assembly, it would be cool for him to meet Tammy's baby (And all the other babies!) since they are going to be born so close together! (I think that is so neat!)I was counting women in The Church of God who are or have been expecting in 2009 and so far with what I know, I have come up with 11. There's gonna be a lot of strollers and diaper changing at the assembly! LOL! Can't you see the line in the restroom for the one diaper changing station there usually always is?
In other news, Bro. Sutton's uncle passed away yesterday so we are leaving for Alabama today. The funeral will be Sunday, but we will miss it to be in services at Antioch Sunday. This will be the first time Bobby and I have seen our families since we found out that we were having a baby.
It is weird for people who have known me for a while to see me pregnant for the first time. They kind of go into shock! LOL! (Hey, I still can't believe it!)
Pray for us as we travel! I love you all, okay most of you all! LOL! (I jokes!)
