We're havin' a baby!

I am so excited to announce that we are pregnant! We are thrilled to say the least! I'm 12 weeks along and the doctor says that "all is well." (We lost the other baby at 9 weeks, so we're VERY happy at this point.) I'm due on May 13th - just 4 days before Mylee turns three. I haven't been as sick as I was with Mylee so that is a blessing for sure.

The baby is sucking his thumb in the ultrasound, I hope you can see it ok. And, yep, I said his. My doctor said she really thinks it is a boy. We'll take that with a grain of salt for now - but it fun to have an educated guess. Thanks to all for your love and support through everything. Happy Day!!!!

The Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday Mike's parents took us out to the pumpkin patch to get our Halloween pumpkins. We went on an official tractor hay ride and Mylee loved the whole thing!

Candy, Candy, Candy!!!!

Last Saturday I won a Milky Way candy bar (YUM! ) at a baby shower. I've looked at it everyday since and thought "Oh my gosh, I cannot eat that whole thing - it is way too bad for me." And I haven't, it is still sitting there. That fact only makes me laugh because.....

.
If you count the wrappers of the little Halloween chocolate candy bars I've eaten since Saturday you would not applaud my self control. I can't bring myself to eat one normal size candy bar - but I will eat 5-6 (or more) small ones in a day without blinking! You've got to love the Halloween mindset, that will soon be followed by the Thanksgiving mindset and the Christmas mindset.

.
I think that the real story is that I know deep down that if I eat that Milky Way today I will still eat a handful of the little candy bars too. Or maybe the real story is that I've given up COMPLETELY on ever being a size 8 again! I think I'm going to go find some candy. I really like it:)

At Last!

My cute little sister got home from her mission in the Dominican Republic earlier this month. It has has been so fun to have her home!!! The family is complete again. I'm now accepting applications for my future brother-in-law, so if any of you have someone terrific to set her up with let me know! He'd be the luckiest guy in the world to get her. Seriously.

Congrats Mike!

Mike entered the Guitar Center drum off and won second place last night! This means he'll compete in the statewide competition on October 14th. Each player does a three minute drum solo on the same kit (it's a lot harder to play on a strange kit.) Anyway I'm so proud of him for putting himself out there like this, and for being so good at his art!
