LOTS OF NEWS

I have got a whole lot of news!!! I am going to try and make this as short and sweet as possible! First of all, I hope everyone had a Happy Easter. I went to Jacksonville to be with Levale the Tuesday before Easter, and drove home Easter afternoon to a WONDERFUL HOME COOKED meal with my family!!! Levale's parents, and Maw-Maw came to his first game to surprise him, and spent a few days with us. It was so nice to have family in. It kept me entertained during the day, and gave me some quality time with Nanny, Pop and Maw-Maw! Levale got to pitch opening night, and did AWESOME! When I got home Easter afternoon, the Easter bunny had been to visit Baby Speigner at our house, JJ and Big Daddy's, and he had already stopped at Nanny and Pop's before Easter! Needless to say, Baby Speigner is ALREADY being spoiled rotten! Baby Speigner's presents from the Easter bunny!!!

Levale is doing great! He was supposed to be home tonight and then again this weekend because the Jacksonville team is playing in Birmingham and Montgomery. (Which is why we scheduled my doctor's appointment on Monday, so he could go along!) Well, our precious Lord and Savior had BIGGER and BETTER plans for us! Monday night, or I guess I should say early Tuesday morning, Levale got a call saying he had been promoted to AAA!!! He had to catch a flight out of Birmingham at 6:30am and is now in Round Rock, TX. (Now, Let me brag on him for a minute)He pitched his first night there, Wednesday, and got the WIN!!! He pitched 3.1 scoreless! He has only been pitching an inning in AA as a setup guy, so I was VERY PROUD!!! They told him they were not sure how long he would stay in AAA (it depends on the Big League Guy who is hurt), but as long as he is pitching well, we can't ask for anything more!!! He will be coming back to New Orleans on Friday night, and I will meet him there on Saturday. I have postponed my doctor's appointment here, and made an appointment for us to find out the sex of our baby together in New Orleans! We will go Wednesday at 1:45, so be looking for a post soon after!

Levale's mom goes to Emory, in Atlanta, for a second opinion on Monday the 27th. She has a mass on her brain, so please keep her in your prayers. Pray for peace for her and wisdom for the doctor's. We are hoping they can figure out what the mass actually is, so she can start the necessary treatment.


Congratulations to our dear precious friends, Kylie and Brian on the birth of their son, Cole. For my blog readers who know Charlee, Cole is Charlee's new baby brother! He made his debut yesterday, April 21. Mommy and Cole are both doing well. Brian is with them now, but will be leaving to come back to New Orleans. Pray for Kylie as she has a newborn and a 20 month old all to herself!!! I can't wait to meet Cole and see them in a few weeks!

Last, just for giggles, here's a picture of my belly at 13 weeks. I am 15 weeks now and even bigger!!! I feel like I am getting huge. I will try to do a better job of posting belly pics!!!
