Jacob Alexander Bragg!!!!

Jason and I are proud to announce that we are having a BOY! We could not be more excited. Baby Jacob is looking great! They pushed back my due date to March 5, 2009 - bummer! It actually works out great because of the school year. I may not have to come back at all once Baby Jacob arrives. In two of the three pictures he has his hand by/in his mouth - just like Addie. We have several ultrasound pictures of her sucking her thumb. I keep thinking about my life and where we are, WE ARE SO BLESSED! We have a perfect little girl and a perfect baby boy on the way. I am just amazed at God's grace and love for us. Please pray that Baby Jacob will continue to be healthy and that Addie will adjust well to being a big sister. I know that they are going to be great siblings and friends. We can not wait to welcome our new addition!

The Wind Storm!

Oh, how thankful I am to have power again! We were out of power for 5 days. I really can't complain because it was not too bad - until we ran out of hot water. Then we headed to my moms for warm showers and tubby time for Addie. The next street over is still without electricity so we are counting our blessings. We spent tons of time outside, going to the park and zoo. It has been nice having the extra time off from work - schools were closed all week.

We were lucky because we did not have any damage to our house. All over our neighborhood were trees on houses and fences, along with wind damage to gutters, siding and roofs. We were pretty fortunate. We did have a branch from a tree in our front yard land on our power lines - connected to our house. We called LG&E and it stayed like this until yesterday afternoon. I am sure our neighbors were thrilled because we had to drive through their yard to get out of the driveway. The fire department came by several times and closed off the street. It is hard to see but one of the lines is down so low that only small cars could make it under.

What a storm! Addie did well and only asked to turn a light on about 50 times! We tried to lay her down early so she would fall asleep before it got too dark. She loved spending the extra time outside and loved all the chicken nuggets from McDonald's! We are a little tired of going out to eat and are looking forward to a home cooked meal tonight, after I go to the grocery! I will keep you posted, we are off to the doctor on Monday. It is already time for the ultrasound. We are so excited and can hardly wait to find out what this precious baby is going to be!
