Whew...

I don't know that I've ever been more relieved for a week to end.  There has been so much going on this week that I just feel exhausted and ready for some rest.  It seems my hormones are really into high gear this week because by today, I have been really emotional.  I'm sure it's mainly due to the fact that I'm so tired but still.  I hate crying or getting upset at a drop of a hat especially when it normally takes an act of congress to get me to cry.  That's just part of being pregnant.

Although this week has been trying, I have learned a lot.  I've learned who I can trust more than others, what real family is about, and that I can lean on certain people for strength and have an ear that will listen to what's been going on in my life.  I am extremely excited to have a long weekend to look forward to. 

Tonight, myself and a bunch of closest friends are going to see The Hangover II.  I can't wait!  I loved the first one and could really use a good laugh after such a hard week.  I think I'm going to go swimming with my sister and mom Saturday, and other than that....I don't know what the weekend will have in store.  I know it's going to be a relaxing time though.  I'm just going to stay in my little "happy" bubble this weekend and take it easy.  I can't wait!

I hope everyone has a great, safe Memorial Day weekend, and until next time!!!!

Bursting at the seams...

First off...let me say I had a wonderful Mother's day!!!  Started off going to church with the fam and having a great day get better.  We had a cookout back at our "lake" with Trevin's family that afternoon.  It was so much fun.  Khade and I fished together and he even reeled in his first fish.  He was so excited!  We had a great time. 

Saturday was a good day too.  Julie (Trevin's sister) took Khade and her son Tucker to the park and on a picnic so I could get some much needed rest.  Been really tired lately, which I will explain in a minute.  Then we went up to my sister's and got together with my family for Mother's day.  It was great to spend some time with everyone.

Now, what made Mother's day even more exciting than normal???

Wait for it....knowing that I will be having another beautiful baby with me next Mother's day!!!  Yes, we are pregnant again.  I'm about six and a half weeks right now.  We are so excited!  I've been to the doctor a lot already.  They are really keeping a close eye on me since my last pregnancy didn't go or end so well.  All the bloodwork and ultrasounds look great!  I am confident with the way I've been feeling and all the doctor's visits that everything is going to go great this time.  Yes, I've been extremely tired and really sick at some points, but I know it will be worth it in the end, and I'm not going to complain....too much.  :)  So expect a new baby from us around Christmas/New Years this year.  Due date is December 29th to be exact.  Yes another December baby.  December babies are so hard...but again, not going to complain!  We are just VERY, VERY excited to make this announcement. 

Thanks everyone who has prayed for us!  Obviously our prayers have been answered!
