Cambell: I'm a mommy, I just went to the store.
Mom: What did you get?
Campbell: Some beer, for dad. And some shirts...
Mom: (looks at daddy, with a "Is that bad?" look) :)

Foster!
I thought that maybe if I got the blogger app on my phone I might blog more, so here we go. Of course I'm terribly behind on blogging so here are two pictures of Foster, one from the hospital on Jan. 12th and the other from a couple weeks ago at home. He is doing awesome and we are all starting to adjust to two kids...
More posts to come... hopefully.

He is almost here....
I have been a TERRIBLE blogger throughout this pregnancy, considering the last post was to TELL you that I was even pregnant! And although I know my excuses are lame, I do have some. :) It wasn't really fun to move early on in pregnancy, since that is when I am the most sick - but thankfully we have family in town and my mom was a LIFE SAVER! We did get settled into Auburn finally, Ben started his job which he loves and we are so thankful for, and Campbell and I started to make friends and fill our week with school, Community Bible Study, and new friends...
The sickness however, never went away... still throwing up 32 weeks later is not my idea of fun, but OH HOW WORTH IT it will be!
This pregnancy was definitely harder than the last - my blood sugar was harder to control, much more sick and uncomfortable... it has taught Ben and I how thankful we are to be called to adopt the rest of our babies - unless God decides otherwise, I think I am done carrying them :)
I will be 37 weeks this week, and only recently did this poor child get a name... Benjamin Foster Compton - and we will call him Foster. So very excited to finally be able to say something other than "little brother"! (and I know you were all getting sick of asking :) ) Since I am a diabetic, they will take him early... and we have a C section scheduled for Thursday, January 12! Less than 2 weeks away... CRAZY! Of course, Campbell came at 36 weeks on her own - so Mr.Foster might decide to choose his own birthday before then... we'll keep you posted!
He is breech and a big boy already - so as much as I dread another C section, I would have been scared to death to try to VBAC... and even though Campbell came early, her lungs were fully developed and she did great with not one trip to the NICU. My doctor says boys are totally different though and have something called "wimpy white boy syndrome" where they tend to not breathe well on their own when taken or coming early... that wouldn't be as big of a deal if we were still in Birmingham, but here in Auburn there is no Neonatologist, and so they cannot administer the drugs he would need to help his lungs and we would have to send him to Montgomery :( That is obviously not ideal, so please pray with us that his lungs will be well developed and that we will have a smooth and safe delivery.... maybe with a better recovery this time!
We are so very thankful for all your prayers - from the last 4 years until now... what a blessing and miracle this is from the Lord- it still doesn't feel like it is really happening... Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow...
