Another Miracle...

Surprise!!! Yes, you are looking at a picture of our 3rd baby that we are expecting to deliver on June 5th 2009. We did not plan this baby. In fact Paul has a date set in December to get fixed. So we were a little surprised, but happy. The baby is 7 wks and a day old, but I actually hit my 8th week this friday. The reason we had to wait this long to let you know of this excitement is because we had a lot of difficulties in the beginning. I found out I was pregnant and the very next day I started to bleed and clots were coming out. So we were were rushed to the doc's and he took a look at me and really couldn't say much because of how early it was. He said everything was fine though. So I was seeing him every two weeks. I was spotting for about a week so that was very scary. Then I started to cramp beyond belief, but the doc said that was normal too. The only symtoms I have through this pregnancy is being nauscious which I will take over the throwing up anytime. So I never felt like I was pregnant which made it harder on me. Most of you know how hard the first two pregnancies were with the throwing up. So I'm very thankful to God for blessing me without the throw up this time. Anyway, I was very anxious to get to the doctor's on Tuesday of this week and when we got there we had to wait about a half hour to see him. I was just scared they were gonna tell us to reschedule because the doc had to deliver a baby. Then I wouldn't know anything for another week or so. Once we got settled in and the doc came in he asked if I was ready for this and I said oh yea. As soon as he got a picture on the monitor I was so excited to finally see a sac. Thats what he was looking for. Then I saw it moving around. Wow, I started to cry because then we were able to hear the heartbeat loud and clear. So the doc said that it is official and we are good to go. He said I was safe to let family and friends in on this excitement. I hope each of you will be excited for us, but also pray for His protection through out this pregnancy and for the delivery. Some of you may not know this, but I almost died after delivering Isabella. It happened after I was already in the recovery room for about an hour. For some reason my Uterous wasn't contracting like it was suppose to be doing so they ended up calling a code blue to my room because I was losing a lot of blood. I was in and out so this info comes from my husband. I ended up having 3 pints of blood pumped into me. It was a very scary moment for my husband as well as my mom and even the doc. He said he hadn't been that scared in a procedure in the longest time that he's been a doc. So I guess it was pretty bad. Emilee remembers that I was in pain. So after she found out that I was pregnant she said that she doesn't want mommy's tummy to get big again because it will hurt her. So I told her that God will be help me through this. So now she prays for mommy's tummy and the baby every night before she goes to sleep and when she prays for her food. She said she wants mommy to have 2 boys.=0)(yea right)We will take whatever God gives us. She told me today that she can't wait to hold her new baby. So she is definetely excited about this new one coming along. Issy will be a year and a half old when the baby arrives so I hope it will be ok. We are very excited about all of this, but of course nervous and know that God has a plan. Right now I've been having fever's everyday and chills, but it comes and goes. So the doc is wanting me to keep in touch with him on everything that goes on with this pregnancy. I don't see him again until November 20th for a checkup unless something else comes up. I wasn't going to tell anyone about this until I made it through my 3rd trimester which is after November 28th, but the doc said that all is well and should continue to go well. Well, God Bless each of you and I thank you in advance for your prayers during this time. All I can say is that our God is an awesome God!!! Oh by the way, this is our last baby. =0) We love and miss all of you and hope to hear from you soon!!!

Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Pointe

Finally this year we were able to visit Thanksgiving Pointe for the Cornbelly's maze. Our church had an outing there for the fall one night and we were unable to make it because the girls were both sick. So I figured out that the tickets didn't have a date on them. So we went a week later on a friday night. Then we ended up getting through the gate for free that night because there was no one there to take tickets. So we kept our tickets and said we would go back on Saturday because the weather was so nice that weekend. When it got dark it got pretty cold. Emi was able to jump on this huge jumping pillow and then we went for the slides and then she rode on little cow ride that took her through some corn fields. She loved that. We stayed at the Cornbelly's maze for a couple of hours, but then we had to leave because it was just to cold for the girls and me. Emilee loved going through the different mazes. She was trying to tell me how to get out too. It was all too cute. On Saturday we went around 5pm and stayed till about 9pm. By the end of the night, Emilee had visited the Pumpkin Princess, pigs racing, made it through the big kiddie maze with daddy,visited the Princess Palace and dressed up as one,went to a corn house that was filled with corn seeds to play in, had some treats with sissy, sat in a huge rocking chair and then before we left for the night we decided to take the girls on a real helicopter ride. They were giving rides to people for a good price and a good cause. So we couldn't pass it up. Both girls loved it. Issy was laughing the whole time and Emi was talking the whole time. It was great. So I hope you enjoy the pictures. I'll be in touch and Happy Fall to all!

Scooter Ride

Here are some pictures of Emilee riding her scooter that we got her from a garage sale. She really wants to do this on her own, but is still learning how to steer the handle bars. There are some girls a little bit older then her that come by once and while with their scooters. So she is determined to do this. We are hoping to get her a bike for Christmas, but thought this would be fun for her work with for now. The helmet she has on is obviously to big for her, but again, it was from a garage sale and she is ok with it. I want to train her now about wearing a helmet because she will have to wear one in the winter time for skiing, snow tubing and sledding. Hope you like the pics and again, I apologize for the pics being all over the place. I've tried messing with them, but can't seem to get them to do anything for me. If you have any suggestions, I will be all open for them. I love some of the designs on the blog sites I see, but I have no clue how to do that. I hope to learn in the future though.=0)

"Pink Strides"

Hello,

I just wanted to share with you a couple of pictures from the walk for the Breast Cancer Awareness on October 11th. We had a good time as a family doing this, but it was pretty cold. It was amazing to see how many people showed up to walk for this disease. We were like the third group of people to start off. So that was really nice. Paul and the girls ended up going around the park(Liberty Park) just twice and then I ended up going around 4 times. I found out later that I ended up walking 8 miles, but it was all worth it. I only saw 3 other people with The Pampered Chef shirts on which was even more of an encouragement to me to keep going. I was exhausted later that day, but more so on Sunday. I could barely walk. It was really cold that morning, but I made sure the girls were covered. It started to sprinkle right as I crossed the finish line and by the time I got to the car it was pooring down rain. It was suppose to snow that morning. So I was happy that God waited till we finished the walk to let the blessings fall down on us. I'm still accepting donations for this disease until the end of the month because I haven't quite hit my goal. So let me know if you are interested and I will send you the link. I want to thank those of you that have donated to help me out so far to get to my goal. I will be donating half of what I make from my shows for the month of October as my contribution. I will be doing this again in the month of may because I enjoy being able to help out like this and raising money for a good cause. God Bless each of you!

Our Little Princess

Hello to all!

Just wanted to send a few pic's of Emilee and her dance class. She has a new teacher this year and her name is Meagan. The parents are allowed to come the first friday of the month to watch them dance and boy what a treat that is. Her teacher was very pleased with how well Emilee listens and how well she remembered steps from last year. She still goes every friday morning for about 45 min. She is learning a lot more steps in ballet. We are still hoping to put her in Gymnastics once she turns 3. The only reason she won't be able to attend would be if the class is filled up already. With her birthday being in November, she will be held back on a lot of things until the following year. Isabella is already 11mo old now and that is very hard for me to believe. She has her two bottom teeth completely in and the two top ones are poking through. She has just started to get up on all her fours. I'll have to get a picture of it because it is so funny. She is also starting to pull herself up on things. She has the funniest sense of humor and loves to make noise when music is on. Issy is no longer on a pacifier. Right at the end of 10mo. she just didn't want it anymore. So we are very happy about that. Her ear problem that she had before was caused by a horrible ear infection that she is slowly getting rid of with medicine. Emilee is having horrible allergy problems that just won't stop. On Sunday her eyes were closed with mucous in both of them. She kept complaining of them hurting, but they are better today after a lot of warm rags to clear them up. Now she has a horrible cough. We are starting to get into the cold season now, but we've all had our flu shots. So hopefully nothing will be to bad for us to handle this season. Well, I guess that is it for now. I'm trying to blog as things happen so that you all won't be reading a book at the end of the month or whenever. We have a lot going on this month. So I'll be in touch soon enough. Much love to all and we miss you!
