Approaching 26 weeks

Hello! All is going well on our end.  As usual, busy-busy with work, baby planning and house hunting.  We're getting very excited and really looking forward to the sleepless nights coming our way soon.  We've recently found the perfect baby boy theme for the nursery...Trucks!  It's so cute and exactly what we were looking for.  The main colors are blue and green; not quite the pastel pink we've been staring at for the last 2 years :) 

We sincerely wanted to thank everyone for the baby name suggestions!!!  Between posts, emails and phone calls we have found a few that we really like!  In no particular order; we like, Jacob (nickname- Jake), Tyler (nickname- Ty) and Dalton.  We've also decided on Michael as a middle name after my father.  This will be the first little boy on the Stackfleth side of the family and for us, what a great way to celebrate by naming him after my dad, a man we admire.  Once we come to a final decision on a first name, we'll let you know.  It could go in any direction at this point so we are still open to new ideas.  We aren't attached to anything just yet :) 

So since our last post, we've been to 2 Dr's appointments with C on February 11th and today (March 11th). Both appointments went well.  We were able to hear the heartbeat again and C's Dr. said she was doing very well and the baby appeared to be healthy with a good, strong heartbeat.  YAY! We are very excited!   We're both really enjoying this time together before this lil man is born.  We're looking forward to a trip down south again toward the end of the month to visit with my family and soak up some warmer weather :)  

One thing that B and I have recently been struggling with is the complete lack of control we have in making decisions that affect this unborn baby.  It's an unbelievable experience yet can really be a challenge to sit back and watch from the sidelines.  I have run through in my mind many times....If I were pregnant; "I would do"...  Or if I were pregnant, "I would NOT do"....   Yet again, the Lord is teaching us and especially ME a huge lesson in "I'M IN CONTROL and YOU ARE NOT so TRUST ME".  I keep telling myself that over and over again.  As this goes on we are both realizing how much you can fall in love with a baby you can't physically see yet!!   We think about him so much and pray for his health and protection.  Please continue to keep this baby boy, C, her girls and us in your prayers!  We continue to be encouraged and so thankful for the love and support!!!  Our next Dr's appt is Friday, April 3rd.  If anything new happens, I'll be sure to post.

Have a great week and weekend!!

Love,

Robin and Brandon
