Huge Blessing!

Matt and I were at my parents last weekend visiting before his bball game, and a couple from church stopped by. They were dropping off cribs from one of his coworkers or friends that they had asked them to get rid of or donate. Well, Mrs. Franklin said to me, that Matt and I should take one for Caleb! I was super shocked and made sure it was okay! She said he just wanted to get rid of them to someone who needed them and she was very excited for us to take one! It is SOOOOOOOOO very nice and we cannot wait to set it up. It will be very classy and look great in our little mans room!

Turns out the crib is from Restoration Hardware which is a very high quality company! The retail price for this crib made me almost cry with how generous the people are for GIVING this crib away! It has and will definitely bless us! We are beyond thankful and overjoyed to get to use it! Thank you God for providing!

BIG NEWS!

Found out today our best friends are pregnant too!!! Ryan and Cayla Anderson are due Oct. 7, 2011 (that's two months and two days after Caleb is due to arrive!) HOW AWESOME IS THAT! I will admit after we found out we were pregnant, I began praying for them to have one super soon. I thought it would be so fun to go through it all together! AND little did we know, God had already started preparing their heart and making them ready to have a baby too! SOOOO here we are, going through it all together; which of course is so fun! :) Now, I get to go through all the excitment and anticipation of waiting to find out if it's a boy or girl all over again! I can't wait to shop for both Caleb and baby Anderson! 

Cayla has not had the same 1st trimester I have had, which just shows every pregnancy is handled differently  by different people. She has been sick a good deal with hers while Caleb only made me feel rough at night! So, here's to hoping- for Cayla's sake- the 2nd trimester, which is just a month away, will bring significant relief from her yaking!

15w6d: CALEB MATTHEW TEPLICEK!

We got a sneak peek at baby Tep today from my friend Pam Sasser at Dr. Percy and Smith's office! She confirmed within no joke TWO seconds that it is definitely Caleb Matthew growing in my uterus!

Well for the journal part of our blog I will have to be honest, I thought for sure it was going to be a girl, just had a gut feeling and saw daddy's little girl that we would dress up and monogram like crazy. I still felt that even though Dabney, James, and even Matt thought it was a boy. Actually, I often even referred to the baby as Abby Grace (sorry Caleb, mommy didn't know and since we had picked out the girl name first I think that's why it stuck). Anyways, in the last two days and even on the way to the office today, I told Matt I just felt like it may be a boy and I'm excited about that too! I know now it was God preparing me to meet my sweet little boy and fall instantly in love; which is just what happened! As soon as we saw the penis (I can say that on here, I'm a nurse) I fell in love and realized that Caleb was just what we wanted and what God had planned for our family! It's so funny because it's only been a few hours since we found out, but already I couldn't imagine it NOT being a boy! I see us driving around town, playing at home, going to church, and just doing everything with our BOY! So come August....ok really I'm hoping late July....Matt and I will meet baby Caleb!

God is so good and has blessed us far beyond we ever imagined or deserve. I love being a Calvinist and knowing that He already had Caleb planned and our hearts prepared just when they needed to be to find out it was indeed Caleb! God's ways are always far better than we could imagine for ourselves! Thank you, God for being so incredibly amazing and blessing our family!

I canNOT wait to meet this little man. I pray so much he grows up to love God and serve Him!  

We had a total of 28 pictures that Pam took today so I will have to work on adding those later! :D 

Check up Today 15w3d!

Had another appointment today with Dr. Percy. It went great as always! The little one's heart beat was in the 140's and doing great!

I'm doing well also, besides randomly throwing up my entire beloved Tropical Smoothie lunch. I got off work at 12 before our 3:00 appointment; so I went to check on my mom and decided to puke, take a bath, and then take an hour nap :) Thankfully she's doing great and didn't need much assistance! haha!

All the blood work from week 11 came back and looked great. My blood type is O+ just like my dad! Next on the list is MORE blood work!

Our next OB appointment will be March 18 and this time we'll see Dr. Smith! Also that is our 20 week appointment so our official gender scan is scheduled for that day while also checking all major organs! :D YAY!
BUT even before that my awesome past coworkers and friends are gonna scan us earlier than that so hopefully we'll know what baby Tep is in the next 2 weeks! I will call Pam tomorrow and find out when is a good time and far enough along to do it! I'm so pumped! Super glad we chose to go with Dr. Smith and Percy because so far every appointment is so fun!

Takin it to the HOUSE! YAY!

Mom did SO good with her surgery. Way better than she ever anticipated! She is home now and able to move around the house with her walker like a champ! 

Found the travel system I want for baby Tep!

I was killing time today around town and decided to go into Our New Baby. I LOVE that place! SO SO much cute stuff! I found the travel system I want for our sweet little peanut! It's black and grey, unisex if-you-will :) I like the neutral gender so we can use it for additional children if God blesses us with more than one. This stroller is rated really good for safety too! They also had the highchair and pack in play. If you know me at all, the matchy matchy is definitely me! So dont be shocked it we get the whole set! :D

Matt and I are beyond ready to know whether this bambino is a boy or girl! We want to be able to call it by name and pray for it by name. The names we have picked out are Caleb Matthew- boy and Abigail Grace and call her Abby Grace- for girl of coarse. Hopefully by the end of the month we can know which it is!
