more pictures
here are some more pictures from our little photo shoot the other day with the glitter. it really was a last minute idea that i had and i am so glad because they turned out just as i had pictured them. as usual the boys were all over the place and trying to get them to sit still for a picture was next to impossible. and on top of that, trying to get them to blow the glitter at the same time was even worse, but we did have fun and also got some great candid shots. i just love their sweet little smiles. i can't wait to see how they both are with this baby girl. i remember it took carson a little while to get used to brooks being around. i remember thinking they would never get along and i couldn't have been more wrong. they are the best of friends. we are so lucky that they really do love one another so much. and i know that these two boys will love on their baby sister. i'm so excited i can hardly stand it!
speaking of baby girl, so far things are going good. i have to admit i'm just waiting for the problems to start. this is right about when i started having preterm contractions with brooks and went on my medicine. i just keep praying that she stays put for the whole time with no problems. we had our first maternal fetal check up a few weeks ago, which was when we found out our baby boy was actually a girl, and they were checking the heart. as i was going through my history with the nurse she asked what chd ~congenital heart defect~ our son has. when i told her she had no clue what i was talking about. and still had never heard of it when i explained what it was. same thing with the ultrasound tech. she had never heard of what brooks had. so when the doctor came in he said to us, "your son has ALCAPA? i have never seen someone with that defect, only read about it, that's how rare it is." not that we didn't already know that but it always takes me back to the days of when brooks was at egleston and doctors would come over to us and tell us they watched his surgery because it was so rare to see. that's our brooks, one in a million (well, really one in 400,000 according to the doctors). anyway, as of now the heart looks great. our specific defect is so tiny that it would not be detected in an ultrasound at this stage but the doctor felt like everything was looking good so far. we go back in another few weeks to have another ultrasound just to make sure. this baby girl is one of the most looked after babies i've ever heard of, and that's ok with me!
here were some of my favorite pictures from the other day ~other than my favorite with the glitter.

my sweet carson looked at me and said, "mom, you look like a princess." my heart just melted. sweet boy.
brooks is constantly kissing my stomach and tells the baby he loves her. he had just given me a little kiss here.
just goofing around
