19 and 20 Week Pictures!

19 weeks...
20 weeks!




Here is our little Zion growing rapidly in my tummy! It's been such a blessing feeling his little movements more and more as he grows bigger and stronger! Praise God! Also, enjoy this picture of Brandon's tum-tum. He says that he is also at 20 weeks... lol. He's a goofball! But I love him! :) We can't wait until Zion is here and an active member of our silly little family! We're sure he's gonna fit right in! :)

Introducing........

.............ZION MILES DERTON!!!!! He stuck his little tongue out at us at the very end of the ultrasound... you can kindof tell in this picture!
Zion's perfect little profile!

A Perfect little ear!


And an amazingly perfect little spine, legs and feet all tucked up!!!



And his little hand waving to us!!! And his whole little legs!

Our perfect little boy! :) We could not be any more excited!!! Brandon has truely not stopped grinning since the ultrasound! lol. The ultrasound was just the most amazing experience EVER and we already feel like we know a little bit about his little personality! The tech said that he was the most stubborn/ shy little guy that she's ever seen. It took an hour and a half to see his face and to see for sure that he's a little guy... he very stubbornly kept his legs tightly closed and his perfect little hands right there, lol. It was very funny and amazing to see how truly perfect God has created him in there! AND that night Brandon was able to feel him moving( more like flipping) aroung in there! It was awesome! And we just sat there and actually watched my tummy move as he kicked and sprawled around in there! He is definately an active little guy! :) Especially b/c he still only weighs a half a pound and is only 6 inches long!!! Just amazing! In the next 2 week he will be doubling in size!!! That's CRAZY!!! Alrighty... well enjoy these AWESOME pictures of our little Zion Miles! Much love and blessings to each of you! xoxo ~Cortney, Brandon, AND little Zion! :)

15 Weeks Already!!!


Here I am! Just thought I'd share a quick picture with you all! I am now officially 15 weeks along! Wow how time flies! AND I can now say that I am FINALLY feeling like a functional human being again! PRAISE GOD!!!Last week at the Dr.'s it was officially confirmed that I had lost 20 lbs since becoming pregnant... yikes! But now that I am feeling better they aren't too concerned and all is well! We finally got to hear our baby's heartbeat... and it was amazing!!! It was beating at 160 beats/minute! It was awesome, and it's finally getting to the point where it (kinda) seems like all this is real. :) But we are so happy and just thrilled that soon we will have a cutie patootie running around our home.

Hope everyone is having a joyous CHRISTmas season! We are really missing all of our family... but we do know that God has placed us here for a reason! We have our wonderful church family here and we will b joingin some of our very close friends for an Italian themed Christmas dinner! We are looking forward to it! Well, We love you all so much! I'll pop up more pictures soon... sorry it's been so long! Merry CHRISTMAS! xoxoxoxox

~Cortney, Brandon, and Baby Jellybean!
