Man can he get any cuter?!

This is a nightly game that David and I like to play. He is getting really good at saying woo hoo! I hope all is well with you all. Life in Dubuque is fun, and we had a great Thanksgiving. I will post some other pictures too.

Peace,

The Fultons

Thank you

I have had a lot of scary and sad things happen to me in my life. Things like my husband deploying over seas and not knowing when he is coming back or where he is going. Horse accidents up the wazoo! But nothing could prepare me for what we were about to hear last Tuesday. I had a sonogram last Friday and they called to tell us that there was fluid around the baby's heart and kidneys and a cyst in her brain and that we would need to go to Iowa City to have a sonogram done with a specialist. By the time the nurse in Dubuque was finishing the last part of the phone call I was in shock and I had her talk to Ben to give him directions to the hospital in Iowa City. So on Tuesday evening we made the trip to Iowa City and stayed over night which turned out to be the longest of my life ( I would rather be in labor for 36hours again). The next morning we went to the hospital and they talked to us about what could be wrong with her and told us things like she might not live. Then we go in and have to sonogram and the doctor tells us that he doesn't find anything wrong with her heart, kidneys or brain and that she looks normal. I have never wanted to kiss another man so bad in all my life. I know that this is a lot of information but the outcome is that she is doing great and already putting her daddy through the ringer just like only my daughter would, but Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and souls for all of your prayers.
God bless

Here SHE is!!!

Well that is right we had an ultrasound today and the lady says that we are having a girl. We are so happy and nervous at the same time we are so use to having a boy that it is like starting all over again ( but in a good way) I can't wait to put her in dresses and paint her nails. Ben is deal with the news well I think that deep down he is really nervous but that little girl will have him so wrapped around her finger that I think he will adapt quickly. She weighs about that same as a can of pop and the whole time we were wanting to see her face she kept covering it with her hands and arms. We told David that he was going have a little sister and his reaction was what are you talking about so hopefully when she gets here he will understand better. I hope all of you are doing well and we will talk to ya soon.

Halloween

I remember Halloween being sooo much fun you got to run around (at night) with your friends and the best thing of all was that you got a ton of candy (that usually only lasted about two or three days) and out of all the trick or treating I did I never once thought of how tiring it was for my mother (who most of my child years made my costume (the crazy women). Then last night came (Ben was out of town so our friends James and Jenny Lotz came with me. Thank God!!!!) David this year was Buzz Lightyear and could not be happier I put on the costume and he starts shouting To infinity and beyond!! Or what sounded like it anyway. Then we start trick or treating and he would go to the door and shake with excitement ( or cold he would not wear his jacket). Finally when we were on our way home he realized that it was over and had a break down in the neighbors hall way. When I finally got him home he wanted to sleep in his costume and then had another break down. Towards the end of the night he went to bed and I realized that I am never doing Halloween without Ben again and certainly not 5 months pregnant. So thank you mom for all the great years I don't know how you survived.

more pumpkin patch

Here are more pumpkin patch pictures.

Pumpkin patch

Hello again sorry it has been so long since I last wrote but I had to get through that 1st trimester. Today we went to a local pumpkin patch with some of our friends and there was sooo much to do David had a blast. They had a big pile of corn that we didn't think that we would ever get David out of and many other things. So we will find out what new little Fulton is going to come our way. Things have been going well and the family is doing great. Hope all of you are well.

Love ya

Here He/She is!

Greetings All,
Well here is the first picture of our new addition. So far we know there is definitely a baby there, and only one. He/She is just chillin with Mom right now and growing away. We saw the brain, heartbeat, two legs, two arms, and that's about it. Life is good and Janielle is FINALLY feeling better, and is getting around a lot easier now that she isn't barfing all the time ( I love when I get to write these things, I will get in trouble for the barfing comment later). So all is well, and David is excited for his new little brother to show up. Um Er I mean or sister. I hope all of you are well, and drop us a line if you get a chance.
Peace,
Ben, Janielle, David, and TBA
