Yay! We’re Pregnant! Due March 12th

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!

I thought it would be fun to post all the replies I’m getting from my text/twitter about our announcement. My message I sent out was the same as the title of this post: Yay! We’re Pregnant! Due March 12th, here’s the replies:

Tomorrow we will be going for a week long trip to visit the Creation Museum in Kentucky. We’re going with my grandparents and my cousin Brian and his family. That’s right, 6 adults and 4 children under 3! Pray for us :) You can watch us on our webcam on justin.tv.

Yes, I saw the iPhone. Yes, it’s sweet. Yes I’m buying one and switching from Sprint to AT&T. I can’t believe I’m doing this…

I’ve created a new website, again. It’s called FaithHacker.com I created the site to share some of the things I learn as a Technology Manager of Saylorville Baptist Church. I hope that other Christian leaders can benifit from it and bypass the time it takes to find technical solutions to their problems.

Speaking of problems. I just read an article about the NFL copyrighting the word “superbowl” and stoping churches (and others) from showing the superbowl on screens over 55 inches to the public. I guess I understand a little, but I guess if someone is going to watch the game, their going to watch the game. It’s not going to stop them from watching it and it’s not going to make them buy a ticket (if you still could). Everyone would still see the commercials. The only thing I can think of is people who don’t pay for that channel and will see it for free somewhere else. But what about sports bars? And wouldn’t this apply to all games? And all things played in places on big screens? Hmmm.

Enjoy the game!

Everything is Great!

I’m finally heading to bed after working on a fix for my website. Some of you won’t follow what I’m saying here but it’s ok. I noticed about a week ago that my website was not rendering (looking correct) in Internet Explorer but it was in Firefox. I realized I was two upgrades behind on my website theme. So I upgraded and all is well. Not sure what was causing the problem but it’s fixed now.

Now on to Denver and Brooke, the important parts. Denver is great, he likes to pee on mom when changing his diaper but not dad. Ha ha. But really he is a very easy baby. He’s sleeping through the nights mostly. Today we went on an adventure to the mall. He seemed to like it. Here’s some pics:

Sit & Wait
I took this while sitting and waiting for Brooke to feed Denver. She was getting ready to in in the door on the right there and another woman and her baby walked up. I told Brooke to invite her in and I would "sit & wait"

Brooke’s dad is coming in tomorrow so that will be fun. Ok, I’m off to bed, Goodnight.

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:

Baby Update #7 – Almost Done

Posted by ahhyeah | Posted in Brooke, Denver, News | Posted on 04-01-2007

A 7, then a 9/10! We are almost there! They say within the next hour we will have a baby! They are calling in the surgeons to set up the room. The baby is at a +1, meaning it is just down past the pelvis. Hopefully the next update will include a picture! P.S. Devin (Brooke’s sister) has left MN.

Baby Update #6 – The Calm Before The Storm

Posted by ahhyeah | Posted in Brooke, Denver, News | Posted on 04-01-2007

Well, Brooke is taking a nap now and I just got back from McDonalds (there is one in the hospital). So far, Brooke’s mom (Kennarae), my mom (Shiela), my brother (Trevor), my sister (Lacee), and my other sister (Jaysha) are here in the lobby waiting. I think Brooke’s dad (Darwin) and Brooke’s sister (Devin) will also be here soon. Brooke is still having contractions, big ones, but she can’t even tell. As I was writing this she mumbled, “I don’t feel so good.” Meaning upset tummy. I looked at the Fetal Monitor and she was maxed out on the contraction scale. A couple hours ago she would have been… well… lets say not so happy. Ok, I’m going to go now. I think this is the one time I should step away from the computer… :)
