8 Months... :)

Hello 8 months! Tuesday of this I will be 32 weeks, 8 months, pregnant! I cant believe that there are only 8 weeks left till I get to meet our baby girl for the very first time! I don't even feel the least bit nervous about it, I am just so ready for her to be here and be a part of our family, she is our miracle and will bring nothing but pure joy to our lives! :-) The last couple of weeks my upper back has really been bothering me along with my syatic(i don't know how to spell this) nerve, lots of ice and heat have been my best friend! Tyrunne will look at me and say whats wrong and I tell him my back hurts and he will say your back always hurts. He just doesn't understand! I suggested the other day that he carry Autumn for the last 2 months and I will laugh at him for being in pain, he decided that he didn't want to do that! Haha Autumn has been kicking a lot and moving around, she loves it when Tyrunne talks to her! He will tell her how much he loves her and how he can't wait to meet her and she will move around and kick me, however the other day she kicked him in the ear, I couldn't help but laugh at him! The look on his face was hilarious! You could tell he wasn't expecting that to happen!

Baby Journey

As I said Tyrunne and I are expecting a baby! We are going to have a little girl and we are going to name her Autumn Lynn Howard! This pregnancy was not planned or expected, I have been told for the 6 years of my life that I would not ever be able to have children, so you can imagine our surprise when I found out that I was for sure having a baby, along with being scared to death about what to do and how we were gonna make it, we were shocked and excited to have the chance to be parents together! :) Our pregnancy journey has not been real smooth, I was very sick the first three months and lost a total of 10 lbs, it was hard for me to go to class and stay focused being that I did not feel well, I still managed to hide it( I don't know how), on March 8th I went and had an ultrasound done and blood work at a doctors office in st louis, and there was for a little baby inside, I seen it. Over my spring break I told my mom and he told his mom, we immediately set up an appointment to see my female doctor and have things checked out. I was on alot of medicines and had taken some treatments for my bladder and was concerned about the effect that it might have had on my precious baby, but to my surprise my doctor said that none of them would have harmed my baby in anyway, what a relief! I was soon called back to the doctors because I tested positive for strep B and had to have a shot to clear it up( they are still testing me for this at 30 weeks). At my 4 month appointment Tyrunne and I opted to have the AFP(i believe that it what it is called) ran. Well not to long after the appointment, I received a phone call from my doctors office, they were calling to tell me that I was going to have to see a specialist because my blood work came back high for spinal cord defects. I sat in my room with my roommate and best friend and cried! I called tyrunne and told him what the doctor said, I didn't know what to do or what to think, I called my mom and told her and then sat for quit some time and cried! I couldn't imagine that God would give me a chance to be a mother and then it be gone in the same breath! I was scared to death I didn't know what to expect, the only thing I knew was that I wanted to be spend the next couple days with Tyrunne! I made the drive to go to get him and we went to Newton and spent the weekend, we spent alot of time talking that weekend about what was going on in our lives and how scared we both were, I decided that Sunday on our way back home that I couldn't keep worrying about it, I had to let God take care of it and I did. Now don't get me wrong I still thought about it, alot.. but I let God take the burden and I tried to keep myself surrounded by people who loved me and really cared for me and my family! In the next couple weeks when I went to the see the specialist, she told me that she seen no sign of problems with my baby, and for the last 2 months they have been watching her spine and growth and I am happy to say that after my doctors appointment on Wednesday that we are no longer having to see the specialist! Autumn weighs 3lbs and 7oz! We are almost 9 weeks from getting to meet our baby girl, and we couldn't be happier with where God has placed us! With his guidance we are going to have a blessed little family come September! :-)

Hello :)

Hey everyone! I have started and had several different blogs over the last couple years, this blog is going to be designed to talk about our growing little family and the things we do and the changes that happen for us! As you know Tyrunne and I found out we were having a baby in March, not expected or planned, so you can imagine the shock this was for us, we were no where ready to have a baby or support a family but we decided that we would tough it out and make it work. After talking and considering alot of different things we decided we wanted to get married, on June 10th 2011 Tyrunne proposed to me and made me the happiest girl in the world! In one month we pulled off the most beautiful wedding and were married on July 9th 2011! Today we have been married for 2 weeks and are loving every minute of it! We live in an apartment in Greenville, IL! If you would like to visit our address is 403A Durley St(jking but seriously, we wouldn't mind some company)! :) We are almost 9 weeks out from having our gorgeous little daughter Autumn Lynn Howard and we cannot wait for her to get here and be apart of our little family! Tyrunne and I will both be students at Greenville in the fall, I however will be staying at home and taking a few online classes so that I can take care of Autumn! :)

We are thrilled to be parents and cant wait to love on her, however there are also the fears that come with being a parent.. like will I always know what to do, will I always know what is wrong when she crys, what if she gets sick? However I believe that God gave us the chance to be parents and he will guide us through it every step of the way.

That is a little about us and where are lives are and where they are going! I look forward to sharing more with you! :)
