We Are Having A Girl!!!

So we are excited to annouce that we are welcoming another little girl into our family!!! Mickie is going to have a little sister!!! We are thrilled!!!!! We were hoping to get two girls together so that they could be friends. The ultrasound did throw us for a loop though because in our first ultrasound at 12 weeks, the Doctor asked us if we wanted to know what our baby's gender was and we said yes. He didn't promise any capability that he'd even be able to see it but checked anyway. He looked for a second and said it's slightly unclear but if he had to guess he was pretty positive it was a boy! We were shocked because we were sure we were having a girl. So we didn't tell anyone because the probability was still unsure & there was a 50%-50% chance it was still a girl. Well we started settling in on the idea that the Doctor was probably right and he couldn't possibly have seen something their if there wasn't going to be something their (if you know what I mean). Well we had a different Doctor do our ultrasound the second time and we wanted to know the gender and when he told us "girl" I hesitated and asked him to check again. Sure enough he checked and It was a Girl! I told the Doctor the story of our first ultrasound and he said it was way to early to tell and that he probably was just seeing the umbilical cord. So I sat there shocked and delighted with the results. I did take all day for it to really sink in though and I still am shocked when I really think about it! As my sister always states, "Ultrasounds never cease to surprise." So true. It was so amazing to get to peek inside the womb and see our little girl. It's probably one of the most exciting parts of being pregnant!! We are relieved to know and see that she is a healthy, strong and Very active baby. We are so blessed!!!

New Moon Trailer

So can I just say that I loved the trailer and am soooo excited for the movie to come out!!!!! There is a lot of potential with this new Director. I'm sold on him. Of course their are a couple of things I later thought about that I felt should have looked differently but the trailer gave me the chills and that's usually a good sign that I will love it!!

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope everyone is enjoying this weekend. The weather couldn't be more perfect today!

3 Years!

Happy Anniversary Sweetie! I can't believe it's been 3 years already! So much has happened in our lives together, it seems like we've had more time married than just these couple years. I've had a Blast & it's been an adventure the whole way! I can't wait for the years to come & what they hold for us & our family! I Love you sooo much!!! Your still the only one I'd want to go through all this with!!!

April Showers

I know it's been forever since I posted, but I really don't have a lot of anything going on. I just keep waiting for warmer weather (even though I am grateful for all the moisture we've been getting), I'm anxious to get out and so is Mickie. I did go outside last night in the evening as the rain was sprinkling down the sun decided to show it's face & I jumped on the opportunity to show Mickie a rainbow, so we ran outside & sure enough there was one. It was so faded though that I don't think Mickie had any idea what I was pointing at. She saw me pointing & looked in the direction of my finger & then she would start pointing at all the random robins she would see flying around. Oh well, there will be more of them, but I enjoyed the feeling of sitting on the porch with the scent of rain with the sun & hearing the birds singing knowing that spring truly is on it's way.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Well it was a pretty eventful day. Not only is it Valentines but my brother in-law Jeff & sister in-law Jen got sealed together with their cute little boy Robert. What a perfect opportunity to be able to celebrate the holiday of love. It was such a special thing for me to be able to see. I will never forget it! They've worked hard and long to get to this point & we are so excited for you all. CONGRATULATIONS you guys, we are so proud of you!!!

Daddy's Girl

So last night Rick, Mickie & I were going to go play & run around town. Rick wanted to shower after his long day & just "get cleaned up." So I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom & Mickie walked over to the shower (where Rick was) & pulled the curtain out of the way. (She always wants to jump in with him because it looks fun, but I know she can't reach her leg over the tubs edge to get herself in there so I don't worry about it.) Well I hear Rick gasp & start laughing. So I'm startled & realize I can't see Mickie anywhere......Well she got her leg up alright and jumped into the shower with her Dad hair up in bows and all her clothes on. (I had just changed her diaper too & it was soaked.) Well that sure was a first. Rick couldn't stop laughing! It was funny....it's just that she looked soooo cute & then I had to start all over with her outfit & hair. Girls just wanna have fun!!! (I was so caught up in the moment that I forgot to get pictures of it. I would have loved to have them.)
