YIKES
Sorry I have not wrote in forever. Aside from comp problems, well I've been pretty busy!
Of course James keeps me on my toes, and to be honest it is really uncomfortable sitting and typing lol.
Anyways Today I am 36 weeks pregnant with Titus. Thank Jesus! Everything is going well. He dropped on sunday, and we are praying to just make it to next wednesday or later.
We have to be full term \37wks to be able to have him in the birth center. WE are doing it all natural this time, water birth and everything. No hospitals. No trauma. My body is not unable to birth a child I don't give a crap about a dr schedule of 8 hours then pitocin ect. screw all that hellishness. Never again.
Thankfully all of our praying and asking God for help turned into us finding the birth center. We are really excited about it. I cant wait to post pictures and write about the experience :)
Oh and for those wondering about progesterone. Had it tested again in my third tri to see how it was doing, apparently it dips again in the third tri and causes tjhe water to break early. So far so good, it tested well :) just need it to stay healthy in the first to carry the baby. :) I'll try to write more later. My back hurts from sitting with the comp lol.

Crunchy
(On my phone sorry for typos)
So I am in the process of getting a woven wrap! :) to baby and toddler wear. It is a size 7 wrap woven and green :D
I am so excited. I am also going to make wool dryer balls instead of using dryer sheets to cut back on energy and money. And I am thinming at 3-4 months I will start Titus in oth diapers ro save on money (and it is also good for the environment) we are going to plant a big garden next year too! And I am not cuttong may hair for two years :)
Having Titus natural at a birth center and gonna bf.
I am excited and thankful that I can be a stay at home mom and I am praying these small adjustments help us save money and live a healthier life. Greener life. I mean we might as well since I am home and we need to cut back and save ya know :) I have the time and can put in the effort :)
Also james had his first appointment with early intervention. He did really well. :) she told that next year in our district James can go to preschool (for free) and I don't see why we wouldn't it is half days through the week.
It absolutely makes me want to cry though to think in a year he can start preschool. My baby. Preschool in a year. How fast this coming year will go with Titus here in three months and some change. Wow. :( so fast. But it is a blessing and God is so good. He really has been providing for and taking care of us.

What Faith Means
(On my phone sorry in advance for typos more than usual lol our computer has been down just got it back from an awesome friend who was able to get the virus off ab save all of our pictures. I have to get some usb to transfer them all which is a lot but just thanking God we didn't lose them)
Anyways it has been a while! And it has been busy and crazy. I finally stopped getting morning noon and night sickness around like 18 weeks. We had a wonderful birthday for james went to the zoo had so much fun just me tim and my mom. Had some friends and famiky who could make it over for cupcakes and presents. We so far had a lovely summer. Trips to the zoo and swimming. Been going to raging rivers when we can and james adores swimming he's good at it.
We had an ultrasound at almost 20 weeks. They informed me of a few things.
First that Titus is large like James big boned big head :) this we expected
They confirmed he is all boy
They told me I will need to be induced (I am not ok with this it made me upset size is not a medical reason for induction God trusts my body his creation and so should we)
They found a soft marker. They found two (bilateral) chorioid plexus cysts sp? They were in his brain by the chorioid plexus. They said this is nornal but can be a sign of downs. They gave me some options for blood work and said I had to get an ultrasound with a specialist. I cried. After taking progesterone just to stay pregnant after a subchorionic hemorrhage. After enough anxiety to kill an elephant, now this. Satans a fucking asshole. I loathe him.
I told everyone what they said that thwy told me not to worry (ha) and asked dor prayers. It took me about two days to really calm down as much as I was going to be able to. Again we were floored. But after going through as much as we have already been through it really was easier to trust God. We were at His mercy, and that is not really a bad place to be.
I started reading my bible more. Praying more. Singing more. Accepting that I literally could do nothing but trust God and know He loves Titus more than us. I came to realize that so many more worse things could be happening. We coukd have found a lot of markers. We could have lost Titus before this point. We could have but we didn't all to Gods glory. glory. It is lime God let some of what satan was throwing at us make it through the barrier just small stuff but scary stuff. It was like I want everyone to know how much of a miracle james is and look at the miracles I am doing in you for Titus. Our faith was unshakable this time. I had lapses here and there mostly hormones I think though. Praying and singing through it we made it to 21 weeks and the ultrasound.
They found nothong but a big beautiful HEALTHY boy. No cysts nothing more than a moving happy baking baby. All to Gods glory. All thanks to Jesus. All so God could one day say to Titus look how much I love you. So God could show others through us his mercy his love his power. Life can be hard it can feel horrible sometimes we feel defeated. But God is never defeated. His plans always happen. His will is always done. And I am thankful my children and their health is in his will :)
So thankful. Thank you Jesus. Thank you.

Hippy Dippy Too Fast!
So I have decided, on a couple things over the weekend with Tim
One, this week needs to just slow slow slow down. Our James will be two on sunday, and his party is Saturday. I am not ready (and neither is the house but it will be lol)
Two, I have decided and Tim said ok lol, that I will not cut my hair for at least two years. I will get color touch ups, and trims when needed like every two or so months. But I want to grow it out. I honestly think I want to grow it longer than two years, but we will see how heave it is at that point. My head my say I have no choice and have to cut it. I have incredibly thick healthy heavy hair.
Three. For James his animals were turtles and frogs. and they fit him well. He honestly looked like a lil turtle sometimes when he was lil. cracks me up. I decided and tim did not object to giraffes and monkeys for Titus. I would like to stick with blues and greens and browns if I can. Their room is blue and for James it is mostly blue and green. I am going to make the crib blanket for Titus. I am excited.
Hm. There was more? I don't remember though lol
But in other news my cousin had her baby Hannah :) I am so excited! just wish I could get out there to visit but don't see that happening for a while.
went to church today it was nice to see Victoria and tisha :) and it was just nice to be there!!!

Update and LOTS
We had our ultrasound on monday. The sch was gone!! (subchorionic hemorrhage) Thank YOU Jesus! The cysts on my ovarie that wasnt told about because it can be normal and they didnt wanna stress me out about, was also gone! Placenta is attached nicely and secured at a good spot nice and high. PELVIC REST IS OVER. Thank God!
The baby was 12w5d at the ultrasound but was measuring larger than 13 weeks. Has a big head and nice strong bone structure like James, and Tim. SO BIG, cus he is a BOY!!! We were able to tell! I did not know we could tell this early. But I thought back and remembered with James we never did an ultrasound at 12 weeks. The dr used her handheld ultrasound thing she uses to check the heartbeat and you can see a small ultrasound so that is what we did to look at James at 12 weeks. It was such a surprise to me to find out so early but there was no mistaking that stuff between his legs!! I wish we would have known we would be finding that out, because Tim would have come to the ultrasound. But PRAISE Jesus we are so thankful and so excited! We are having another boy!!! We are pretty sure this is going to be our last child, and we are beyond excited that we will be welcoming James as a big brother and Titus to the family this november. We have agreed on the name Titus Isaiah Lawhon. I love love love it! Gonna have me a James and a Titus (and of course our babies in heaven).
Dr said he is big, and once he hits 10 lbs (scary I know but James would have been a 12 lb baby had the twins water not been taking up so much space) anyways once he gets that big then we start talking induction or c section. I really want to have him naturally and since my epi wore off with James, I wont even get one this time. For real, wasn't worth the money at all.
We are so so excited. James is such a wonderful person and I can't wait to have two children in myarms. Two people to watch grow. Two people to love and to watch tim love :D
We have James in a twin bed in his room, and the entertainment center with the tv and books is in there too as well as the crib. So all the toys and clothes (except for what is in the closet) is in the middle bedroom. Which is awesome! They can share a room and have a play room and I am so happyl We wont have to buy that much, I am getting a basinnet this weekend that I found on fb for 15 dollars, they are only used for like 2 months so we don't need a new one then I can donate it. Then I will buy some more bottles, and some clothes, I want to get a blooming bath, the blue one. Those things look awesome. I also want to get a pump. Of course Ill get him a build a bear and a couple books and thing just for him. But we are not starting from scratch. And my grandma linda is giving me a sewing machine so i will buy a fitted sheet to match what ever fabric i decide to use to make the comforter for him. Also I will get a blanket crochet for him like James has, and a security blanket like james bear bear. It sounds like a lot, but seriously isnt! The most expensive thing I need to get is the medula electric pump, ill have to start looking at those I know they arent cheap but worth it. I am very determined that this baby will not be a nicu baby praise Jesus and I will be able to breast feed.
So much to be thakful for! and so excited! Thank you for letting me share our excitement. This is such a blessing and means so much to us. Such a miracle and we thank God all the time for this child and our Jamesy.
For those of you wondering about the progesterone. The dr is weaning me off of it. She said it is safe to stop cold turkey but sometimes ppl bleed when that happens and of course that causes quite a scare and stress. She has me on it every other day, then ever three days then done. I am also on an antibiotic for a uti right now, and i am still on baby apsirin. I think I get to stop the aspirin soon, and they took blood monday to check my vitamins. I should be able to get out in the sun a bit this summer since James is older so I am hoping I wont have to take vitamin d, i probably will have to take iron, and vitamin c to help absorb it.
Also I got my hair done yesterday. I don't think I got my hair done since last september right before hillarys wedding. Wow! It felt so awesome to get it done :)
Anyways, that was a lot and I am gonna go lay down and get my booger butt to sleep :D
Have a wonderful day!!
