Eyes open!

So cute.

Missy and baby Hannah are doing okay. They had to give Hannah some caffeine the other night because she was sleeping so deep that she was forgetting to breathe. The nurses made it sound cute though. They said she was "getting her first starbucks!" Hannah is able to breathe on her own though! Praise God for that. Missy is a little sore obviously from having a c-section. Keep them in your prayers. I think Missy is going to be released today. It is just going to be long travels back and forth to the hospital until the baby can get to come home.

On the other hand, pray for Caleb now too. He has Croup! Yuck. Poor baby. I feel so bad everytime he coughs it sounds like a dog barking. I know it must hurt his throat. Everything else seems to be going good. I sometimes forget that I am pregnant because it doesn't feel like it when I was pregnant with Caleb. I go back to the doctor on Tuesday for an update and my first ultrasound. My clothes are starting to feel a little more snug. I am holding out on the maternity clothes. Funny how they say your first pregnancy you can't wait to get into them and then your second and third you are holding on to your regular clothes as long as you can. So true! Not that maternity clothes are ugly but I guess it is just psychological in your mind. Most of the clothes now a days can pass for maternity clothes. They are so loosely fit. I think I will like being pregnant this time around if they don't change the styles on me. I have these Roxy black leggings that I absolutely love. They are the most comfortable pants ever! I just need to buy a bunch of long flowy shirts and I am set for 8 months. Well, I am going to head out. Just wanted to give a few updates. Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers. It means the world to know that people are praying for you other than yourself!

My little neice

My little neice Hannah Joy was born today. She was 8 weeks early! My sister went into the emergency room because of contractions and high blood pressure. She was treated for that, dehydration, and diabetes. They did an ultrasound to monitor her and the baby and saw that there was no movement from the baby decided to go ahead and do an emergency c-section. Little Hannah Joy weighed 3lbs 3 oz and was 16 inches long. So little. They are going to keep my sister in the hospital for 5 days and keep Hannah in there until around her due date which is like a month and half from now. Please keep them in your prayers! Here are some pics from my parents cell phone. I wish I could be there.

That dumb toothbrush!

Okay, so I have already experienced throwing up! Not fun. Especially when it is only orange juice while brushing your teeth. So, it is mixed with toothpaste. Yuck. I guess it is just something that I am going to have to deal with because I have to brush my teeth everyday. It is not just something you can do away with. Ha ha.

That makes two of us running to the potty!!!

Yes! It's true. Actually, I guess I should say three of us running to the potty. We are going to be a family of FOUR!!!
We went to the doctors on Monday and found out for sure. I took a home test last Wednesday but wanted to confirm it from my doctor. My doctor was so sweet. We haven't seen her really since Caleb was around 4 months old. She walked in and said "Did you miss me?" I said of course I did but I didn't want to see you too soon! She said we were gone for so long and then we came back with a bang! Cute. Anyways, this little ones due date is not for certain yet but she said on or around the September 24th. She also told me that I can have a scheduled induction date if I wanted to beings that I live far away from the hospital. So, I am totally leaning towards that. It makes it easier for all the family to be able to plan on being there. Especially my side of the family coming from New Jersey. I can't wait!!! So, that is my new years resolution! Ha ha.

Funny

Well, Caleb has poo poo in the toilet now! He is doing really good. I just bought some of those cloth training pants so I am going to start using those. We are going to use up the diapers we have and then no more diapers!!! Yeah. Funny story that happened last night. I was giving Caleb a bath and he stands there sometimes like a typical guy and plays with his you know what. Last night he was standing up in the bath tub and pushed out a fart! Hilarious. Well, I guess it stimulated it to where he really had to go poo poo because he squatted down in the water and starting whining a little and then grunting. I turned around and sure enough I see this turd floating in the water. He was giggling and pointing at saying "Poo poo in the water"! He knows that poo poo is suppose to go in the water but I guess he got a little confused as to which water!!! So, I had to scoop out the poo poos before he would touch it. Oh my! The joys about having a little boy is amazing. He always keeps me entertained.

YEAH FOR CALEB

Last night Caleb went potty in the toilet for the first time. Not even two years old yet and already going potty in the toilet. We are going out today to find some big boy underwear. I am going to try and look for the extra thick ones. It really all depends on the parent. I found that out. I just have to keep taking him to the bathroom over and over again. Anyways, I am just so proud of him to have gone potty for the first time!!!

We had a very good Christmas. We were able to see all of our family! I feel very blessed to be able to do that. Caleb got his drums. Josh got all his hunting and fishing stuff he wanted. I got a Roxy purse, Coach purse, and several other things. My gucci rush perfume smells awesome! We were blessed this year! I can look back on 2007 and say it was hard but we pressed on and God brought many blessings to us. We BOUGHT AND SOLD our very first house! We would have liked to have stayed had it been the right place for us to be but God had better plans for us. We are soooo blessed to be at this church. It is really a great place. I can't wait until we can build or buy another house. We have signed on our apartment until August so we can take our time a little. Well, I hope everyone has a great New Year. I will try and write more later but I need to do some grocery shopping while Caleb is still awake. Talk to ya again.
