Beautiful Day

So yesterday was doctor's appointment day. To be honest I always get a bit nervous going in but was very hopeful because I have been feeling very 'pregnant' I guess you could say. Morning/ all day sickness, lots a fatigue, strange urges to eat weird combinations of foods and everything else that comes with it. Once I got there and got in the ultrasound room, the lady put the weird jelly on my stomach. I have to admit I have become a fan of the warm liquid instead of the cold. They did what they need and everything looked great. The lady who did the ultrasound said the heart rate was 160 and if I believed in old wives tales that it meant we are having a girl. So I guess we will see, either way we are not really partial to a gender just happy and healthy is all we ask.

Mason has been great! He went for a haircut and was excited until the saw the comb. I figured when it was time to get a haircut I would ask him and see how he reacts so it wouldn't be a completely horrible experience. Wrong! His hair had grown out to be wild bush man. So we had to comb it before the barber started to cut and thats when the tears started so Jake and his superman nature offered to get his hair cut even though he had it cut 3 days earlier and Mason brightened up. In the middle of the cut Mason told the barber "excuse me, no more. I'm okay thank you, all done". We couldn't help but laugh and so did he. At the end of it all he went over to the mirror and pointed to himself and said, "Mason man, beautiful!" I told him yes you are beautiful but you say, "I'm beautiful". He replied, " No, Mason man's beautiful". He is so silly and I love it! Of course afterwards we all went to Jamba Juice and got smoothies to top off the afternoon.

As many paths that we may cross, I love that everyday our special family always has a silly moment.

Finally Making an Update

It has been a while since we have made an update about our lives. There has been many things go on since Christmas. I first have to thank a great friend for giving me the something I needed to finally talk about it.

Well here we go, we have since moved (as previously posted) and are just about settled in. We are all unpacked but now for the rearranging of things and decorating. My favorite! This winter as you are all aware we found out that we are expecting. Unfortunately I was not feeling well to later discover I was going through a miscarriage. It was the last thing on my mind that was going to happen that morning but it happened. After visiting the doctor he could not explain why but said to stay hopeful.

It was something that was difficult for each of us to process in our own way. Mine personally was, as most of you know my personality is it doesn't make sense to me unless there are solid reasons why. Like math, two plus two is four. Solid answer won't ever change.

But we kept rolling on but only taking one day at a time. After all was said and done things started to feel as they were before and had come to live with God said baby's just not ready yet. Until, the doctor called and said some of my lab work looked a little off and he would like to repeat it.

Well as most of you know I am a GIANT chicken when it comes to needles so I defiantly was not looking forward to having my blood draw ever 2-3 days for 2 weeks :( After back and forth trip to the doctor and making the choice to take a personal break from the doctor's office for a week I called to schedule yet another visit.

On the day of my appointment I saw sitting in the room minding my business, I had even brought Mason with me because I didn't think it was any bring whoo-ha. Well come to find out that the strange part of my labs was because.... We're pregnant again! He said it was very uncommon how quickly it happened, but everything looked great! They could already see the heart beat and that it was strong, my lab work looked great and the baby looks awesome.

We are past the month two marker and just keep praying that everything goes well and just trying to keep positive. The toughest part of this pregnancy has been of course the nausea but more than anything just the exhaustion. But honestly I wouldn't trade it for anything! As long as the typical symptoms are there everyday, we are all happy campers!

The part that has been the best and most amazing through it all has been Mason. The beauty and joy that comes from a child is amazing! Mason has not really been aware of everything because as you know he's 2 so he doesn't really understand. There was a time that Momma and Daddy were upset and Mason came over and said,"Oh Momma no tears, it be okay". It was heart breaking. It made me cry even more because he was so kind and made Jake immensely proud to see his son open his heart to someone like that.

We have been so blessed by all of the wonderful family and friends in our life to some family is those who you are related to you. To us all those amazing people who have touched our lives are our special family!
