Baby makes 5!

The Humistons will be adding a new member to the family in October.

Monday was my first doctor's appointment. I was so excited. I was a little sad because Jeremy ended up having to watch Grace and Faith and didn't get to go with me. It was kind of funny to see both of the nurses' reactions when they asked if it was my first baby and I said, "No this is my third." The ultrasound revealed our little one and my heart beat faster when I could see the baby's heart beating on the screen. (The wonder doesn't fade-God's gift of life is amazing!) I also enjoyed getting to bring the picture from the ultrasound to show Jeremy (it kind of looks like a lima bean). He was very proud.  

When we told Grace she was so excited and proclaimed, "Baby Boy!" We just laughed and talked about who gets to decide if we have a baby boy or girl. She knew the answer. She replied, "God-I pray." She immediately folded her hands and prayed for a baby brother! It was adorable. She then got the privilege of announcing our big news to all of her grandparents. With each one she said, "Baby boy or baby girl in Mommy's tummy...long long time." And showed off the ultrasound picture. She continues to hope for a brother.

If you want to know how I've been feeling I have been secretly blogging about it here.

Grace's Birthday-Part 2

Grace had a great birthday! For her family party she enjoyed making a special purple Birthday cup with Aunt JoJo. Josie came on Friday night and took her out to eat as a special treat. They had tacos & chips n' cheese, her absolute favorite. Her only request for the party was purple punch. And a purple cake with a rainbow. She enjoyed all her gifts and did really great blowing out her candles all by herself this year.

On her birthday we surprised her with streamers and balloons. Watching her open her gift was priceless. It was a big pink tub that contained her very own grocery store. It contained this really cool cash register that scans actual bar code stickers and has a little PA system for making announcements. But when she opened the tub all she saw was the food boxes and cans. (old ones I had recycled with clear tape & superglue) She had this super confused look like, "What is this!" But once she figured it all out she loved it. She was also super excited when the local floral shop showed up with flowers and a Dora balloon just for her from Gramy & Papa. That night we went out to eat & then to a special Parents as Teachers Activity Night. At one station the girls could try on a Pirates jersey & helmet. It was lots of fun.
