Today I received a call from my OB who said she had looked over our ultrasound pictures carefully and is pretty sure the baby has club feet. She has referred us to a perinatal specialist where we will have more extensive ultrasounds to figure out the severity of it. From the little research we've done it sounds like the baby would be having weekly casts for the first 6 months or so and then maybe a minor surgery. We would appreciate any prayers you could send up for us. It's interesting... we're not worried. I feel a supernatural calmness about it (which is so not me). Ryan and I were talking today and both said that we feel an extra special connection to this baby somehow.

Knowing this will be our last child, I've been excited at the thought of getting rid of baby things once we're done with them and looking forward to the "big kid" stage. However, I find myself grieving the loss of teeny robeez shoes and footie pajamas. Oh well, there are lots of cute onesies out there (he'll most likely wear those for the first 6 months.

In other news, Ryan and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary on the 24th. Every year he buys me one red rose for every year we've been married and one white one for the year to come. Isn't he romantic? I know it's coming, but it always surprises me. They are beautiful.

Behavior boot-camp has been going well. The kids love the schedule and I'm having a much easier time.
