We are having a . . .

We are excited to announce that we are expecting another BOY! As one friend said, "No prissy stuff at this house!" We found out last week at our ultrasound but wanted to wait until we could tell all our family first about the great news. Now we are so excited to be sharing it with friends:)

The week before we found out, Grantham and I were talking in the car about how he was going to be a big brother. I asked him if he wanted a baby sister or brother. At first he kept saying both but when I finally made him realize he could only have one he said that he wanted a baby sister but thought that he was going to have a baby brother. When we went in for our appointment the tech asked Grantham if he wanted a brother or sister and he said that he wanted a brother. She said well guess what you are going to have a baby brother. The baby looked healthy and active (just like Grantham)! We are tenatively planning the C-section for Thursday September 24th. Four of my sister-in-laws (John's sisters) think it is only fair that men dominate our family since he grew up with the four of them;0 John is excited because he thinks maybe I will want to have another biological child since I have only had two boys and no girls. We'll see - - I am ready to adopt (NO MORE morning sickness that last the whole day/night). Who knows what God has in store for us? Just one baby at a time:) !!!!

Thank you all for all the prayers with Grantham's health and this new baby too. Also thanks for reading my ramblings. We love keeping up with each and every one of you!

A weekend trip

The weekend before Grantham got sick we had a great time exploring Memphis, TN. Here are a few fun pictures of the trip. After a while I think you will wonder like I did what was Grantham looking at? Who knows - I am lucky he stopped long enough for me to get the pictures;) Enjoy!

Health update

Grantham's fever has finally broken. We still have no answers to why he was sick but we are thankful that he is getting better. Thanks for all your prayers during this trying time! Please keep him in your prayers that he will continue to heal.

How it all began

John and Tabitha met while studying abroad in Grantham, England at a college called Harlaxton. Two years later, they were wed in a beautiful outdoor wedding attended by friends and family from all over the world. John was an aspiring dentist, and Tabitha planned on changing the world one child at a time-teaching. Within a year John decided that he needed to change directions in his medical career and enter medical school instead of dentistry. The years that followed were full of ups and downs but ultimately we ended up completeing four years of medical school and six years of teaching in Indianapolis, IN. With God's gentle guidance, we matched for a pediatric residency in Greenville, SC. Another move and another adventure . . . we soon found out that we were pregnant with a baby boy who we chose to name Grantham after the place it all began. Recently, we became the parents of two beautiful boys (our second son is named Isaac - which means laughter).
