Today we went for Taylor's 4D ultrasound. Everything looked great so far. All of her organs were developing well. She loved to put her feet in her mouth along with her hands. She is almost or a little ahead in size compared to Travis. She is weighing in at 3 lbs and 6oz. Travis was 4 lbs and 4 oz at 30 weeks. We had a lot of fun taking a look at her. God is good. We can't wait for her to get here. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hard to say good bye....
I want to dedicate this post to my grandma, Ivalene Hamlin. She was such a strong and dedicated woman to her family and to her friends. I admired her so deeply, partially b/c we have such similar personalities. She had been fighting ovarian cancer for 4 years. Unfortunately and very quickly Monday night, God called her home. She was such a beautiful person and one of my best friends. Saying good bye was the hardest thing that I have ever done. There were so many things that I wish I could have said before she passed away. However, most importantly, I know she is in heaven and I will see her again. I picture her to be Travis' and Taylor's guardian angel b/c I know that she'll keep them in line growing up. Grandmom, I am so proud of you; I will miss you so much; and I love you.
Please pray for my grandpa and my family as we grieve for her loss. I promise, Grandmom, that Travis and Taylor will remember you. I will miss our nightly chats!
