Brooks Baby #2

Well, actually, number 3, because we have a sweet soul waiting for us in Heaven...

Well, today marks a major milestone for our family. It's 12 weeks of pregnancy & counting! It takes us a while to 'get the word out', as we're very careful & cautious after our losing our first baby & the many complications and risks with Eden's pregnancy...but...we went to the doctor today and the baby's heartbeat is good, loud, and strong--150 bpm!!

We're already enlisted in several precautions by our dr. (whom we LOVE), so please be praying for us:
-that Eden will not pick up on my anxiety & restlessness!
-that I can & WILL obey doctor's orders!
-that I will have patience & tenderness toward both Eden and Jason!
-that this baby will be healthy, safe, and FULL TERM!
-that the Lord will save our children!

And, any of my dear friends that have a baby name book...I'm way behind...by this point with Eden, I knew her name exactly (if she should be a girl...)...but we're at a total loss so far! And, I have NO idea what I did with "my" baby name book!

Eden's so sweet about it too. She'll look at my belly button and say, "I see her!" And she says she'll help change "poopy diapers" but we'll see when it's actually time! Ha! When asked if she wants a baby sister or brother, she says, "no, just a baby."

How cute! Oh, (speaking of cute); the other night...Jason took her potty after we put her to bed (he'd been snacking on popcorn, Eden's favorite treat). She asks, "Daddy, what do you have in your mouth?" Jason says, "nothing." Eden replies, "let me see." Jason opens his mouth and Eden then says, "I can smell popcorn but I don't see any in there." That child does not miss a thing!
