So Long!

Posted on 8:58 AM by Unknown
I know it have been a very long time since I posted, I really have been pretty busy and I just don't think about it. Anyway Parker is now 13 weeks old! He has a very sweet personality, he will "talk" and smile at anyone who talks to him. He is growing so fast too, he weighed 15.5 pounds last weekend and I am sure he is around 25 inches long by now.

A lot has gone on since Parker was 7 weeks old ha-ha, I went back to work and he started going to daycare. That first day was hard for me but I was glad to be back at work. I take him to daycare everyday and Michael picks him up! We also experienced our first fever and hospital visit last weekend, but he is feeling much better now.

On a happier note! Parker had his first Thanksgiving in Houston this year! We all went to Bebe's sister Bobbie's house to celebrate and it was a lot of fun! We got to see Aunt Brooke, Uncle Stephen and Gavin along with some other family that we don't get to see very often! After lunch Parker and I left to go celebrate with Mimi and Pa Pa Mark, we didn't get to eat any of their yummy food because we were stuffed but I found out that Aunt Donna and Great Granny snuck a taste of mashed potatoes to Parker...On Friday Parker and I went to have another Thanksgiving lunch with Great Grandma and Pa Pa and see that side of the family, it was good to see everyone! Saturday was dedicated to shopping...and I mean the entire day! I have never shopped so much in my life! Needless to say Parker was worn out ha-ha but we got a lot done and after we got back to Aunt Donna's we all were ready to go to bed! When we got home on Sunday evening, Michael was so happy he missed us so much and we were glad to be home with him...no Deer though, we're hoping he gets one soon!

Yesterday my Aunt Donna, Granny, Destiny and her boyfriend Trevor all came to visit, go shopping and watch us last night. Michael Parker and I were lucky to get to be a part of A Night in Old Bethlehem. Michael Parker and I played one of the Mary, Joseph and Jesus' of the night. When we got there we got into our costumes and I fed Parker his dinner, we had hoped that he would go to sleep like he normally does but of course he was not interested in eating or sleeping...whenever we got out there in front of everyone who came to see Jesus, he was screaming. After about 5 minutes I guess that felt like 30 one of the ladies in charge asked if she could get anything for him and got his bottle. It was smooth sailing after that! Parker went right to sleep and we laid him in the manger to be oohed and ahhed over :) It was a lot of fun, and I'm sure baby Jesus cried a few times in his life! it was realistic!

Next weekend my family is coming up for our Christmas party! I am very excited, last year went really well and I hope it goes the same this year, I can't wait!

Here are the pictures from last night

7 weeks

Posted on 9:38 AM by Unknown
This week Parker will be 7 weeks old! He is smiling, talking and sleeping (at night) a lot more! I love it when Michael talks to him and he just coos and smiles at him, it is adorable :) Here are a few pictures of Parker that have been taken this week and last week.
Happy boy!
Did that sound just come out of me? (he was tooting)
I love snuggling with mommy :)
All dressed up in his Halloween outfit...I can't wait to put him in his costume.
This morning :)

6 weeks old

Posted on 3:46 PM by Unknown
Sorry I haven't posted in a while! Parker will be 6 weeks old this week and I can't believe how fast the time is going.

Side Note...We're out at GiGi and PawPaw's and Michael is outside shooting his gun, Parker has not woke up or stirred once.

Anyway back to my post, we haven't done to much in the last few weeks but we did go to Houston for the first time since Parker was born last weekend. We left on Friday afternoon and got there that evening, Parker did pretty good in the car, he woke up right when we got there to eat which I expected but that was it! After we got there me and Parker went with Meme to the mall to shop for some cute warm clothes for pictures we would be taking on Saturday. He was very good at the mall but of course woke up wanting to eat while we were in the last store, I fed him a bottle and he spit up all over his Meme...On Saturday we went to have some pictures made in which I got tee-teed on and Parker screamed his head off for the last few poses, hopefully we'll get to see them soon. After pictures we went to visit Uncle Ray-Ray, Aunt Lillie and Layla it was really nice to see them. I forgot my camera so Aunt Lillie will have to send me the pictures she took! We went to eat dinner at Goodson's that night with my family, Parker got to meet his Aunt Kim, Uncle Gene and cousin Ryan, well they met him ha-ha he was asleep the whole time! After dinner we went home and went to bed. Sunday started early, I got up around 6 to feed Parker and after an hour or so we got to go back to sleep for a while before getting everything packed and heading out to my dad's house. Parker was very good for his Honey and Pop. So that is all we did! Parker had a big weekend and I already want to go back!

I have lots of pictures I want to post but it isn't working right now...I will post them later

This week we went and got some pumpkins! I am so happy about this weather, I love fall! I will be Christmas before we know it. I hope to get some pictures of Parker with the pumpkins also but it will have to be in another post.

Well until next time!! Have a great week!

Parker is 3 weeks old!

Posted on 5:18 PM by Unknown
Sorry I didn't post this on Thursday...we've had a rough week.

Parker is now 3 weeks old! He is growing so fast, I feel like I'm not taking enough pictures! It is amazing how much he is changing everyday. Over the last week he has started making more noises, it was weird the first time he started doing that because I was expecting him to start screaming and he didn't! He grunts and coos (sometimes) and hums when he eats. He also looks around more often and makes a lot of different facial expressions.

Our week has been interesting, lets just say I am glad it is Friday and that Michael doesn't have to get up and go to work, I hope he will help me out tonight and let me get some sleep. Wednesday night was horrible, it could be the worst night we've had since the first night. Parker was up every hour or hour and a half, he was eating every time but because he kept falling asleep while he was eating he wasn't getting full. Anyway I got up with him and fed him until he puckered (he puckers his lips when he doesn't want anymore) and he was asleep. I may have gotten 2 or 3 hours of sleep. Michael was very nice and took half the day off yesterday because I was so tired at 6 when I woke up to feed Parker again that I was crying...anyway he said I looked wrecked and he came home early so I could sleep some.

I was so rude and didn't mention in my last post that Parker got to meet his Uncle Stephen, Aunt Brooke and cousin Gavin a few weekends ago, he also met Grandpa Bill. I will post pictures whenever Bebe gets the pictures to me. Other than my terrible night with Parker, everything has been really good! We don't do too much right now so there isn't a lot to say :)

In non Parker news I started watching FlashForward and I think it is going to be a really cool show! I hope everyone is having a good week and has a good weekend. I hope to have more to report next week!

2 Weeks Old

Posted on 4:35 PM by Unknown
Today Parker is 2 weeks old! The last two weeks have been very interesting, we're learning alot about being parents and about eachother. Michael has really stepped up to the plate with helping me, not only at night but also with everyday chores that I don't get to (pretty much everything). He is an awesome husband and a wonderful dad, it comes naturally to him.

Parker is just your typicall newborn ha-ha he eats every 2 to 3 hours, poops and sleeps! He is picking up his head when we burp him and arching his back. We went to his 2 week check up yesterday and he had gained a pound and 3 ounces and grew 2 and 1/4 inches since last week.

Since I don't really have a whole lot to say right now, here is a video of him today on his play mat for tummy time.

Until next week! (if I have time ha-ha) love you guys!

Parker is here

Posted on 2:58 PM by Unknown
Hi everyone! I finally have a free minute to get everone updated!

After a very long day of labor, an epidural and his heart rate dropping twice we were told we had to have a c-section and Parker was born on September 10th at 4:57 or somewhere around there...I just say 5:00 ha-ha, he weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and was 19 inches long. Being in the hospital was nice but after being there 2 and a half days we were ready to go home and we are so happy to have him here :). We got home Saturday afternoon and my family were all at the house waiting to meet Parker. After about an hour or so I was feeling very tired and decided to lay down, by the time I got up everyone had left except my mom, stepdad and brother. We started our very long nigh around 9:00 and it was horrible...after being held constantly all day and having the same done most of the time at the hospital, Parker would not go to sleep if we put him down. We fed him, changed him and put him the pack an play and he screamed his head off. This lasted for a long time and Michael and I were tired and frustrated with the situation. After alternating holding him and sleeping I took him at 3 to nurse him and held him until 7:30, I know I dosed here and there bu I was up most of the night, I woke Michael up to change him and that was it. It was a long night :) We learned our lesson though! We went to Target and go a co-sleeper that goes in the bed between me and Michael and we have the pack an play in the living room so whenever he is asleep during the day he goes in there to sleep and at night he is right there beside us so we can put his pacifier back in his mouth or just rub his belly and let him know we're there and he is safe. He sleeps all through the night and we sometimes have to wake him up to eat. I hope this lasts :) He is such a good baby I feel like we are so lucky.
I wish I had some exciting news to share with everyone but right now me and Parker just hang out at home, we did have his first appointment today and were told he is looking great! Other than that all I can say is that he sleeps, eats, poops and cries every now and then (usually when it is time to eat) and when he is asleep I try my best to take a nap.

Here are a few of pictures of our little guy.

Last Appointment

Posted on 4:21 PM by Unknown
OK just let me say that I had no idea how rough doctors are when it comes to checking how dilated you are! Today was our last prego appointment and she checked me so hard that she told me I might have some bloody show...I am still having it after 2 or so hours! The only good thing was that I was semi prepared for it this time. I think she did it on purpose...I am still only dilated a one and it has been a week (I thought that was normal). Anyway so we are scheduled to go to the hospital at 6 am on Thursday to be induced! My mom and possibly my Aunt Donna and cousin Destiny are going to come up on Wednesday night to be with me in the hospital so I am pretty excited about that too. Then my brother Robert and my Step dad Mark will come in on Friday night! (YAY! I can't wait to see Robert :) he is going to be a good uncle) On Saturday I will have the rest of my family come in to see Parker and we will most likely go to Gary and Delana's and Tommy and Belinda's on Sunday so everyone here in Lufkin can oo and ahh over him too :) it is going to be hectic but I want everyone to see him and all of that because after that we will probably not be going anywhere for a bit.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIVE OUT OF TOWN, AKA UNCLE RAY-RAY, AUNT LILLE, LAYLA, AUNT BROOKE, UNCLE STEPHEN, AND GAVIN YOU COME WHENEVER YOU WANT TO :)

Anywho tonight and tomorrow night are my last two nights of softball for a while, until Parker can go and that's if it isn't to cold out by then, so I am going to go cheer on the teams one more time for a while :)

I can't wait to see everyone and for everyone to meet Parker!!

Maternity Leave

Posted on 8:13 AM by Unknown
I am on maternity leave!! Actually I am taking a vacation day today, the holiday is Monday and my maternity leave will actually start on Tuesday. I will still get to go back on November 30th because it is only one day different from before, I had scheduled to work until Wednesday. Anyway Michael decided I am to tired and to swollen to sit at work with nothing to do whenever I could be home "relaxing" :) I will most likely end up giving in to my urge to clean everything in sight...I got to sleep in today which was fantastic, I know I won't get to do that for much longer, and I am going to spend today with a friend so it should be a good day over all.

I hope to have news soon!!!

Any Day Now

Posted on 3:12 PM by Unknown
Today was pretty exciting! We went to the doctor this afternoon and found that I am dilated to a 1 and my cervix is very soft, all we need are those lovely contractions to start! I have been having mild contractions bu they aren't painful, in fact I didn't realize I was having one until Dr. Carter told me I was. I was hooked up to the fetal monitor because Parker hasn't been moving around much in the last couple of days and he was not being cooperative ha-ha I had to drink a Dr. Pepper to get him to wake up and move around some. Whenever we were done being monitored Dr. Carter said she'll either see us at the hospital or next week at our appointment, but she didn't sound like she thought we'd be back next week... most everyone is thinking he'll be here by the weekend but we'll just have to wait and see! I decided that I don't want to call everyone in the world if he comes before the 10th because I would rather they come next weekend as planned when we'll be at home...I put my mom up to the task of being a meany but she said just not to call everyone when I go into labor and she won't tell everyone that she is leaving to come here ha-ha. I will call and let everyone know when he gets here but I will make sure to tell those who already planned to be here next weekend to stick to that plan.

Thats all for now, I will keep everyone posted!

From 4 weeks to 2 in one appointment

Posted on 2:40 PM by Unknown
Today we had our last ultrasound :) Parker is right at 7 pounds and doing great! Dr. Carter is going to start checking me next week and has decided that if we haven't gone into labor within the next two weeks, she will induce labor on September 10th. Now, i have been saying for a few weeks that I wish he would come tomorrow but now that it is really getting down to crunch time I am SO NERVOUS. All I could think was oh my gosh there is still so much to do!!! Of course Michael is asking me "What? What else is there to do?" I have been in full on nesting mode since Saturday, I know it is getting on his nerves ha-ha I couldn't even sit and watch a movie with him last night because I was thinking about a million different things. All in all there really isn't much more we can do, we are as prepared as we can be and are just waiting for him. Everyone is getting excited for us and making their plans to come and see us and Parker, at least now they have a date they can go by. My brother (Uncle Awesome) is trying to get plane tickets from California to come see him so I know this will help, he can get tickets to get in on the 11th and hopefully we'll have a baby for him to spoil!

I asked Dr. Carter about some of the labor signs that I thought had to happen before I could go into labor (dropping, loss of my mucus plug gross I know, and others) and she told me that I may not have any of them...I was hoping for a little warning ha-ha she said they may come all at once right before I go into labor, there is no telling. Basically whenever he is ready, he'll come out. I thought it was interesting that she said for most first time moms their babies don't drop very much. Parker has dropped a little bit but for the most part it seems like his rear end is staying right above or on my belly button.

I also asked about the swine flu vaccine and she said I will definitely need to come in and get vaccinated especially since I am planning to breast feed.

Well that's all of the news I have for now!

Might as well be 4 weeks away.

Posted on 4:15 PM by Unknown
On Saturday I will be 36 weeks, only 4 weeks to go and let me just say I am definitely scared but I think we're as ready as we'll ever be. We had our weekly appointment today, this time I was tested or swabbed as Michael says for Group B Strep. Other than the test I told her about the pain I have been having in my low abdomen, groin, rear end and lower back...she said that it sounded like a contraction to her, they aren't regular and I may go a couple of days without feeling any but at least I know what to expect. Other than that I asked her when we should start getting prepared to go to the hospital (when to pack the bag and when to put car seats into cars) and she said now...she said I am at the end of this and we need to be ready because it is unpredictable! Anyway, my blood pressure was good, Parker's heart rate was 140 so everything looks good so far! We are going back on Tuesday for our last ultrasound to measure him again and from there I hope she can tell us what she thinks we're going to have to do delivery wise. I really don't want a c-section and the only way she'll do one is if he is in the 9 or 10 pound range...I am thinking he is going to be right around 8. Good news! I only woke up once last night! it was great to feel like I had gotten enough sleep for once.

Well that's all I've got for now, I'm afraid that when you're prego that's really all you talk about ha-ha and when Parker gets here it will be all about him :)

Not to Much

Posted on 4:54 PM by Unknown
Well guys! There isn't much to report this time, we went to see Dr. Carter yesterday and heard Parker's heartbeat which is routine and then sat there for about 10 minutes until she came in and said these exact words "Well you look great on paper! Any questions?" After telling her we didn't she told us we'd be coming back in 2 weeks to have an exam to be tested for group B strep which is routine and then a week after that we would come back and have another ultrasound to check Parker's size! By that week I will be 37 weeks and we will just be waiting on Parker at that point! I can't believe how close we are, I am getting anxious. I will be glad when all of this swelling goes down and I don't feel like major crap all of the time.

well until next time, I hope everyone is doing well!

It's August!

Posted on 5:41 PM by Unknown
Hello everyone!

Well, we only have 7 more weeks to go and Me and Michael are getting so anxious, Michael told me he was sitting in the living room while I was gone and it suddenly occurred to him that it is August! We're going to have a baby next month! While on one hand we are anxious and excited for Parker to be here I think on the other hand we are both a little nervous and worried about it, we're going to be responsible for a little person and we can't take him back to his mommy and daddy when we are tired and have had enough ha-ha. I know that it is going to be tough but I also know we are ready and we'll be fine!
Today was my baby shower here in Lufkin! I had so much fun and loves seeing everyone, Parker got a lot of cute things and I can't wait to put him in some of those adorable clothes! Everything was so adorable, the ladies did a wonderful job and I couldn't have asked for a better shower! I will have more pictures after I get them from family and friends but here are a few of the ones Delana took before her camera died.
My adorable cake! Made by Amanda (thanks Amanda!)

31 weeks

Posted on 1:54 PM by Unknown
Today we went to Dr. Carter's office and had an ultrasound done to measure our little man, he is 4 ponds and 2 ounces! Dr. Carter said according to our most accurate ultrasound our due date is actually going to be September 19th YAY. Other than that there wasn't much else that needed to be discussed, we are doing great and will go back in 2 weeks! Tonight is Lamaze...Michael is so looking forward to it! Not really ha-ha it should be interesting though.

Other than this there isn't much else going on so here is the ultrasound picture we got.

All is well

Posted on 5:08 PM by Unknown
I am updating to let those of you who read my blog know that the results of my second glucose test came back normal. It took Michael calling up there and being mean for them to call, this is how I got a response from them last time even though they asked me to call them! Anyway he had to call and tell them hat they needed to call me back as soon as possible and VOILA! I got a phone call from Brooke, a nurse there who sounded like I had ruined her afternoon because I wanted to know whether or not I had diabetes! I will be talking to Dr. Carter about this issue. Any who I think it was the little bit of Dr. Pepper that I had before my appointment the last time that caused me to fail the first test and I blame the stupid receptionist for that. I called two days before my first test and she said I didn't need to fast! She did say not to eat or drink anything to sweet but I didn't think that a little bit of watered down Dr. Pepper would cause me to have to take off of work last Friday and starve while sitting on uncomfortable chairs waiting to get stabbed in the arm for four hours. In the end I came out with the shakes, four holes in my arms which made me look like a druggie ha-ha, thinking about only one thing...lunch. I voted on Cheddars because Michael doesn't like to eat there and I got chicken strips, mashed potatoes, broccoli and my lovely, oh so unhealthy addiction Dr. Pepper...I had two. I am now trying to ween myself from Dr. Pepper because I know it really isn't good for me to be drinking it, I have done it before and I can do it again!

That is all of the news I have for now, I will hopefully have pictures of my shower last weekend to post soon and I will write all about it then.

24 weeks

Posted on 3:23 PM by Unknown

Hello all! Not much to report this time, I had my glucose test done today and I assume they will call if there are any problems. Parker is a little mover and shaker these days and his favorite time to move and shake is at about 2 in the morning! Gotta love it! We are going back on June 30th for another check up and I will be getting a shot for RH factor, I am so not looking forward to it! I am not a fan of shots but I will just have to suck it up. 2 weeks after that we should be doing what will probably be our last ultrasound (we may do a 3-D one) to measure him and see just about how far along we really are. I am also hoping that she will be able to determine whether or not I will be able to have him naturally. Until then, here are a couple of belly pictures


This past weekend we were at Gary and Delana's house and I got a couple of cute pictures of Sean in the tub and on the potty (he is FINALLY going to the potty), he was SO funny. We also went swimming last Sunday but unfortunately my phone was dead and I didn't have a camera! Next time I will get tons of pictures of him swimming and jumping :)

Appointment 4

Posted on 4:48 PM by Unknown

I am SO late with this! Sorry about that!! Anyway we had our 4th appointment last Tuesday and it was SO exciting! this was the appointment where we were to find out if our little bean was a boy or a girl. We got there at 2:00, the ultrasound was scheduled for 2:15 and we didn't get in there until 2:45...I was SUPER annoyed because I had rushed to get there and then I had to wait for what felt like forever! I am so impatient...I will learn :) When we were called into the ultrasound room I was so nervous! I was ready to finally know what we were having and had convinced myself it was a girl, well our tech (if that is what she is called) was measuring and taking pictures...all the while I am thinking HURRY UP WOMEN!!!!!! She finally, and very casually, said "IT'S LOOKING A LOT LIKE A BOY" I was thinking in this moment....aww shucks well, I guess there will be no dress up! Oh well I Love him already! So after a few seconds she said she wanted to do another ultrasound in 4 weeks to confirm because it could be a girl with swollen parts...I will post he picture, I think there is NO WAY this is a girl with swollen parts. So that was the exciting part of the appointment. Dr. Carter got called into surgery and we waited for 2 hours to see her so while waiting I got more blood work done Yippie!...not...and she said everything looked great. The only comment she had was that he was 8oz and I was 17 weeks and 5 days so she thinks I may be a week or 2 further along than we thought. We will be measuring and everything at my 30 week appointment to make sure and we may or may not have him early. Michael is of course thrilled about this because that is a possible week or two extra he has before deer season....get a grip buddy not with a newborn! Of course I won't completely limit him ha-ha but he will have to compromise.

IN OTHER NEWS!

I am now 18 weeks and 4 days and my little Parker is just a squirmy worm! most days it is like he is having a little party in there ha-ha and sometimes he only moves a lot when I am about to or in the process of eating and when I am sitting down relaxing. I got home from work the other day and layed down with Michael and he put his hand on my tummy and kind of pushed with his fingers where I told him I always feel movement and it was so funny because Parker pushed him back! I don't know if it was a foot or a hand but it was like he was saying "hey get out of my space here there isn't much room as it is!" ha-ha I was like...Did you feel that! and Michael said yeah...he was not as excited about this as I was, or at least he wasn't on the outside.
here are the latest ultrasound pictures and one of me
Baby Parker 8oz at 17 weeks 5 days

Maybe it is just me but that does not look like swollen girl parts...I see a turtle





me and my, as Michael says, soccer ball belly ha-ha it isn't THAT big yet

Appointment 3

Posted on 2:17 PM by Unknown
Today was our third appointment I am 14 weeks and 5 days along. We went into the exmination room and heard Bean's heart beat (147) and were told everything is looking good! I have been feeling little flutters for a couple of weeks now and am excited that I will be feeling it alot more often pretty soon :) Our next appointment is on April 21st and this is the big day when we find out what our little bean is! I will be 18 weeks by then and we are SOOO excited! Michael an I have a bet going on, if Bean is a GIRL (I have a feeling it is...) Michael has to do the dishes for a weeks and if Bean is a boy (which would be great also) I have to rub his feet for a week...eww ha-ha. Anyway here is my first pregnant picture at 14 weeks and 5 days i feel SO bloated. Oh and I am happy ha-ha I just was trying to take a good picture, next time I will smile.

Appointment 2

Posted on 2:44 PM by Unknown

Today was our second appointment, I am now 10 weeks and 5 days along and they did an ultrasound so we could see the baby again and hear it little heartbeat! Well after she put the really cold goo on me and found our little bean I was so excited because he/she is getting big! Bean looks like a baby! it was so amazing because as soon as she found him/her it moved it's little arms I was like...did it just move?! and the lady was like yes it did...(no big deal to her obviously) Anyway Bean have a good strong heartbeat and is growing perfectly! I found out today that I have A- blood and so at 28 weeks I believe she said I will be getting a shot for the RH factor and again after the baby is born. I hate shots but I know it is necessary. I will be back in for blood work at 16 weeks, well probably at my April appointment because I will be 15 weeks a couple of days after that appointment...so if we're lucky they might tell us the sex of the baby then but if not it looks like we'll have to wait until May. Uncle Awesome (my brother) is getting impatient and wants to know the sex ASAP and we'll be seeing him after my 15 week appointment so it would be really great to tell him then but we'll see!

First Dr. Appopintment

Posted on 7:17 AM by Unknown
Michael and I went to our first Dr. appointment on February third! After answering about a million questions for our nurse Dr. Carter came in and told us our due date and asked a few more questions and then sent us to the ultrasound room! We were so excited to be able to see our little field pea for the first time. After the ultrasound tech got me all ready to go she started the ultrasound and there it was! It was so amazing, we couldn't hear the heartbeat but we got to see it, it looked like the baby was dancing ha-ha, Michael said that at the moment when he saw it is when it really hit him...there IS something in there! After the ultrasound we went back into the exam room and I told Dr. Carter about the bleeding and she said that there was nothing to worry about because the ultrasound looked excellent and it was probably just implantation bleeding. We asked a few more questions and then it was off for blood work and then we were done! The next appointment will be March fourth and I'm not sure when the next ultrasound will be. Here is a very small picture of our little one (behind that line ha-ha)

Hopefully it's nothing

Posted on 8:13 AM by Unknown
Last night Michael and I decided to go to Wal-Mart and so of course before we left I went to the restroom and when I pulled down my undies there a spot of blood on them. When I wiped there was some red blood on the toilet paper, I wiped four or five times until I felt clean and each time there was blood and it got lighter in color each time. Anyway I started crying and told Michael to get in my purse and get a pantie liner...of course he was like "whats going on?" and I told him I didn't know but that I was bleeding. We went to Wal-Mart and got back and I had to go pee again and when I wiped this time it was just a little bit of brown on the toilet paper, the same brown was on the liner. Since then when I go to the bathroom it is just a little bit of brown when I wipe. I am praying that this is nothing and that my little bean is just implanting and getting ready for a long 9 months but I won't know for sure until next week when I go to my doctor. I talked to my step mom in law and she said there would be nothing any doctor could do at this point if I were having a miscarriage. Everyone please pray for us, it is very upsetting to think about but we both know that if in fact that is what is happening that there is a reason for it and we will try again but lets hope it is something else and everything is fine!

A New Chapter

Posted on 8:35 PM by Unknown
Michael and I just found out we are pregnant! We have been trying since November and I wasn't expecting it to happen this fast but we are VERY excited...in shock still but excited! We are still waiting for it to really sink in and I am sure it will happen soon but for now we are just enjoying the moment and looking forward to the next 9 months. I promise to keep everyone posted, I know I haven't been updating very often.


We love you all!
Krista
