The results are in...

Hello all,
I have news, but I took the weekend to kind of just process it and contemplate my sweet little family and celebrate that J and I have been married for 7 years. It's been a crazy ride for sure. I am black and blue from shots, I am pudgy and bloated from hormones, I am a bit emotionally drained from all the travel and worry and what if's. I have had emotional break downs that I am sure have made J think I am crazy. It's been ridiculous. And so, after the longest two weeks of my life I am happy to announce that I will remain a human pincushion, because I am pregnant!

It's strange to be telling everyone when it is only about 3 weeks along, 2 and a half at the least, but you have all been with us through the whole journey and in a way it is good because I can ask for your continued prayers and support that my body might be able to carry  the baby or babies to term and that he/she/they might be healthy. We don't know how many have taken as of yet. That makes me kind of nervous, but I am hoping it won't be too long before we know what kind of madness we are dealing with. Hopefully it is only madness to the tune of one or two. I think if I had four I might go crazy. The Lord qualifies who he calls right? right? So, this is where we are right now. I am cautiously excited. I have had miscarriages in the past, but this is very different and I think everything is going to go well. I hope so anyway.

Thanks so much for all of your love and prayers and support. There are people I don't even know praying for us and I just feel oh so blessed and I stand all amazed at the love people are so willing to share and give. It's been strange in a way to be so public with everything, but at the same time, it's been such a blessing and such a support. That's why we are here, to help each other and support each other through, and I have really learned that in this process.

Thank you again! Love and kisses to all of you from all of us!

The boy, I am

Hi,
I am the boy. I am one. I like to swing on swings. I like to take baths. I like the piano and my mom's ukulele. I love cheese puffs and climbing stairs. I point like a pro and say ah while I do. I get frustrated if you don't understand what I want. I like fruit and yogurt and I like to give hugs. I have 9 teeth with another one coming through. I suck on my minky blankets. Minky is my favorite fabric. That's how I go to sleep. I sleep super good. I take two naps a day, my mom is thankful, they make me a happy boy. My parents think I am pretty awesome, I have to agree. I do have 9 teeth you know. I like my teeth, I use them to pull lids off of things. I like to try to use the hand rail on the stairs, it makes my mom freak out and worry about me, it's funny. I don't like to sit in the seat of the shopping carts. It's more fun to make my parents haul me around the store. I want to feed myself, it's more messy and fun that way. I like to rub apple sauce all over my face and hair if I get the chance. I nod, I clap, I just learned how to sign please. I really love to dance, music is my favorite. I crawl and I don't walk just yet, but I am sure I will soon. I love my mom and I love my dad and I love my Grandma and they love me.
I am the boy, I am one.

The Visitors...

We had just a few visitors this weekend. Two of which were Tati and her mommy. We were so very glad they could come to visit.

We got to break in the boy's rockin new pool. Until auntie and I got hot and tired of being outside, but they had a fun time. I know what you are thinking too, how could the boy possibly be theirs he is sooooo tan! HA! Some things are just meant to be.
cheeeese!
We went to the duck pond and found ourselves surrounded by geese.

The boy wanted them to be his very best friends. I think he wanted to ride them across the pond! He tried to touch them several times.
Tots was not so sure.

 
Come on tater tot! Look how nice they look! They really were tame. I wasn't worried, although the hissing noise they make is a little off putting. They should work on that.

Tots rode on uncle J's shoulders over to the horses with her fists clenched the whole time, she is a good sport for not throwing a fit.
We rode on the swings and slid down the slides. The boy is not much of a slides kind of guy, he stuck with the swing.
We had a nice relaxing time with Tater and L. We hope they come back sometime. The Hawaiian ice is so totally worth it.
And the geese
