1 I have been craving Fudge Rounds this pregnancy.
2 I love how Lowes smells!
3 I'm not a Republican but I'm definatly not a Democrat, so who knows what that makes me!
4 Wet toilet paper makes me gag!
5 I am not an organized woman but I try to be!
6 It still hasn't really hit me yet that I am having a baby girl!
7 I don't really like talking on the phone.

A Baby Asked God

A baby asked God,'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?'
God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.' The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.'
God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'
Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?'
God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.'
'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?'
God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.' 'Who will protect me?'
God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.' 'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.'
God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'
God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Good News / Bad News

I had another ultrasound today and all of the problems they saw the last time have gone away! Her bowels and kidneys look totally normal! YAY! I am soooooo relieved! She is growing so fast. She was VERY active during the ultrasound today but that made for some good video footage! I am getting so excited now. It all seems to be coming together. I feel so much better now than I have in a long time. I'm happy! We bought her the most adorable stroller and car seat at Target today. It is pink and brown, so sweet, very girly!

Well, the bad news is I failed my gluclose screening. :( So I have to go back Monday for a 3 hour screening. YUCK! It's going to be a long day. But hopefully everything will come back normal.

My mom wants me to get a invitation list ready for Ivy's shower. I'm not sure of the date yet, probably late July or early August. If you want to come please email me your address so I can be sure you get an invitation. Thanks!

Happy Father's Day!

I just want to tell Alan thank you for being the best daddy Ben or Ivy could ever wish for. You are my rock and I am soooooo blessed to have you as my husband and best friend!



I also want to say a thank you to my daddy. You hung the moon as far as I'm concerned! I love you and thank God everyday that I had a daddy like you.



I love you both so much!

I'm Back

Ok, so about a month ago I was a emotional crazy wreck. I decided I needed to take a long break from everything and boy has it helped! I feel great! I hung out with my boys (Alan and Ben). We went swimming, had picnics, and just enjoyed some time off.

I have been nesting like crazy! I have painted the bedroom, cleaned all of the carpet in my house, organized closets, ordered Ivy's furniture (we still have to put it together), and just getting things ready for Ivy's arrival. I'm getting so excited. I can't wait to see her and man is she active. Ben and Alan are facinated watching her move around in my belly. Ben never moved this much. When she is being still, Ben yells at my belly telling his "sisser" to "wake up!". It's adorable!

I have another doctors appointment Monday. We are having another ultrasound to check some problems they found the last time. Nothing major though. The last time the ultrasound tech told us we already have a nice chunky little baby! At least I know I am having a c-section this time and I don't really have to worry about how big she is! LOL!
