Denver is growing up so fast. This morning he is eating grape-nuts. He gets his own kleenex when he sneezes. He even took the nursery sticker off of Carson and threw it away all by himself.
Caron, however, is still my baby. And it’s going to be crazy, ’cause the new baby will be here in only 5 months!
Today we went to the doctor for our first appointment for baby #3. Since we don’t know if it is a boy or a girl and won’t find out, I will call it baby #3 for now. Brooke let me know, I think the same way as the first two, by showing me the pregnancy test a few weeks ago. I was certainly surprised because it usually takes about 1 year once we start “trying”.
As a hint, I started growing out my beard. If you’ll notice, I usually only do it when my wife is pregnant. No one caught on…
So, back to the appointment. We don’t exactly know how far along we are because we should be at 10 weeks but she is measuring at about 12 weeks so they’ve ordered an ultrasound. We all got to hear the baby’s heartbeat today too. Here is a link to the recording.
Also, please be praying for Brooke. She gets very sick during pregnancy and it’s pretty much 24/7 until the end. It will be more difficult than other since she has to take care of 2 boys all day.
Yes, I’ve been keeping a secret from you for 2 weeks. Even had to lie a couple times :) But after a year of trying (wow, it was so difficult <-- sarcasm) God has blessed us with another child! We don't know what it is yet 'cause it's too early to tell, and I'm not sure if I want to know. We didn't find out last time and it's kinda nice. Then you don't buy the wrong color or call the baby by name during pregnancy and then find out they were wrong! If you don't know already, we already have a son, Denver, who will be 2 when the new baby is born. His website is www.DenverPorter.com
Also, if you didn’t know, Brooke gets very sick when she is pregnant. We’ve found out a few ways to make it better but it’s still pretty rough the whole nine months. Also, if you’re one of our iPhone website fans, you’ll notice this is why she’s been writing less lately. We’re working on a plan for this :) We’d appreciate you’re prayers as it will be very hard for her to run an at home business, take care of one child and the home, and be sick all the time. We’re also praying every day for the safety of this child, we’ve had one miscarriage before but we trust that God has a greater plan!

We will be leaving this evening around 7:00pm. If you would like to come visit Denver at home please call first. Thanks to all who wrote on the website and stopped by. It was great to hear and see you all. Praise God for the church body and it’s support and love. You may now visit DenverPorter.com for direct access to his pictures. Here’s some of my favorites so far:
