We have a heartbeat!
This is a really bad picture, but I promise there is a baby in there with a heartbeat in the 160s!

hodgepodge
It will be two weeks without pacifiers on Friday as well as Gavin's second birhtday! He is the sweetest boy and is so kind. I pray he will be as gentle in years to come as he is today. His teacher told me today that if they had 11 Gavin's the class would be great. He is not only gentle but kind and shares well (except the occassional no MINE!). He is so sweet. He wants kisses all the time. I have to tell him to close his mouth though (I wonder why he wants to taste the kisses?). I am very blessed to have Gavin in my life.
Sophia is doing well. She is such a girly-girl. She changes her clothes a minimum of 3 times everyday. I have to go through her dirty clothes to remove the clothes tossed in there after only being worn for a few minutes. Her favorite thing right now is to strip down, put her ballet leotard on and then re-dress with multiple shirts. She has started ballet and her first receital will be Father's Day weekend. I can't wait to see her in her little costume at Oven's Auditorium dancing her little heart out. She absolutely LOVES all things ballet. I think this was a great Christmas present for her.
Little bean is the size of a pea at this point. I have my first appointment with the OBGYN to measure the little bean and look for the heartbeat next Thursday, Jan 22. Keep me in your prayers. I am a nervous wreck until we see that heartbeat...
Shannon and I are doing well. I am exhausted all the time these days, but otherwise healthy. No morning sickness to speak of. I did not have it with Sophia or Gavin, so I don't expect it this time around either. Although it could creep up on me what with the 5 babies (according to Sophia) growing in my belly! I really should be writing down all of the funnies that come out of her mouth. She really is a joy to have in my life and makes some of the most mundane things joyful.
I have been listening to the This I Believe volume 2 on CD. If you have not been introduced to this series, I can't say enough good about it. I cry, I laugh and I think about what it is that I believe. Having listened to these essays has made me a more thoughtful person. You should check it as well.

I think we finally did it!
Gavin and Sophia have been paci free for two nights now. Both had the most minor of troubles the first night. Gavin seems to have forgotten they even existed and Sophia has only complained a couple times. The Paci Fairy came and took them to give to other children who need them. If they could be gracious about letting them go she would bring the movie Tinkerbell (a movie about fairies) to them. They have received Tinkerbell today and will find out once I pick them up from school. I am pleased at how well this went. I can't tell you how much I was dreading this.
