Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, Today was the big day! I'm so happy to be able to share the news that all is well with little Palmer. Dr. Thorp said he looks perfect, and as of now, there is nothing to be worried about! Oh, I feel so blessed! We will go back to see Dr. Thorp in 7 weeks, to be sure everything is still normal and great! I have to say, on a side note, Mac has been a real trooper this past week (and the whole pregnancy) to put up with my stressed out, emotional self :) Pregnancy sure is fun! Thanks to everyone for their continued prayers for my pregnancy, little Palmer, and Mac and I!

20 Weeks in Pictures

Everyone always wants to see pics....Enjoy!


Palmer with his mouth wide open.....I guess he already takes after his momma ;)It sure was hard to get a good profile picture today.....He just didn't want to sit still!









20 Weeks

We are 20 weeks! I can't believe we are half way to meeting Baby Macaroni! For those of you who don't know, baby is a BOY! His name will be Palmer Bain McCormick! We couldn't be more thrilled and are so excited to meet him! Today, during our ultrasound, he was swimming away, very active! Everything looked great, except for small calcium deposit on his heart. We will be going to the specialist to have an ultrasound/echocardiogram done of his heart on November 26. We know, no matter what, we are extremely BLESSED! I have complete faith in My Lord! Please keep us in your prayers over the coming months!

Welcome

I have decided to start this blog to keep family and friends up to date on mine and Baby Macaroni's progress! I hope you all will enjoy my daily (sometimes weekly) ramblings!
