Two Weeks...

Two weeks from today (if he doesn't choose to come before!) we will meet our son, Hogan Marshall Presley.  Because I have already had 2 c-sections, we have another one scheduled for October 24 at 1:00.  We are so excited, to say the least.  It has been a wonderful pregnancy...I have felt good and all the doctor's reports have been great.   With each visit, the perinatologists said that he looks good!  It is amazing the technology they have at an office like that and how clear the ultrasound images are.  Not to mention the trained eyes of these doctors and nurses.  We got to see our sweet boy a good bit more than with a "normal" pregnancy.  Even close up shots of his heart and the valves...truly mind blowing.  Praise the Lord- it all looks good.
Anticipation is running high around our house.  The kids are getting super excited, and I am getting more uncomfortable by the day.  Hogan truly must be growing everyday!  We have created a "countdown" since we have a scheduled c-section, so that has been fun for the kids to be able to actually count down each day.  It also helps Eli realize how long we have until delivery.  The kids (particularly Payton) have been a HUGE help in getting the nursery ready, and I can finally say that I think we are good to go!  Hard to believe.
The beginning of the pregnancy seemed to go very slowly, the summer was a bit faster, but once school started, there was no looking back.  The weeks have absolutely flown by since August.     
My heart is so grateful for another child.  God is so good to give us another life.  Another son.   I am overwhelmed by feeling God's love for our family through this child.  We are so very blessed.
