Memories...

Well as the new year approaches we have so many blessings to be thankful for but in the back of my mind lingers one of the most important people in our lives Clara Grace. There are 13 days until her Angel~versary...I learned that tonight as I was searching online for some memorial service ideas. I love that versus anniversary or even birthday because she is our Angel and its her special day!!

David probably wishes that I'd stop having all kinds of ideas and just stick to one idea but its just so hard to figure out what I want and what is fitting for Clara's 1st Birthday! I've spent at least 2 hours tonight listening to memorial songs, reading poems and watching videos that parents have made to remember their children. It's so sad yet gives that small amount of comfort that we as parents are not alone!

Well tomorrow is New Year's Eve and we still really haven't solidified any serious plans aside form out traditional going to my parents house. I truly hope that 2010 brings us a multitude of blessings...I can say that 2009 started rough but things are looking up with our new little Peanut!! On Peanut news I go see the Neonatal specialist on the 19th and then Dr. Bass right after that appointment and we'll make a plan on how this pregnancy is going to work so that we carry as close as possible to full term. Please keep us, our family and our precious PEANUT in your prayers!!

Summer Baby!!

Well...my appointment with the nurse went great. She is a family friend so it makes things comfy knowing that. I got my list of do's and don'ts along with some free goodies!! Lots of books, bottles and formula! We go back to the doctor on December 22nd for our first Dr. Bass appointment. So far the estimated numbers are 8 weeks and 1 day today and a July 23rd due date! We're praying that everything goes well this time and we're taking it slow....and I am super excited about the fact that I'll be out for summer break during my maternity leave!!

Lights Camera Action!!

Well...I don't have a picture of our Christmas Lights...but I am super excited that we have them up this year! We've had them for 4 years now and never put them up till this year! David put up half of them and then Tim helped him finish the rest! I think this weekend we'll go get our Christmas Tree and finally make the house smell and look like Christmas inside! Today is a very exciting day for us....we go see the Nurse at Dr. Bass' office! I'll get my list of things to do and not to do anymore! I'll also have my prenatal labs done and the most exciting part is we'll find out an estimated DUE DATE!! We've got lots to be thankful this year and I want to make our holidays as special as possible. Our year started out rocky but its up to us to END it on a GREAT NOTE!! Hopefully I'll get in to see Dr. Bass next week and I'll be posting our Peanut's first picture!!

On the baby note I do have to say this time around pregnancy has been pregnancy....with Clara I didn't feel as sick but this time Im thinking SERIOUSLY....I'd like to go a moment without being nauseous and tired. But in the end its worth it so I'll just keep trucking along! Also it'd be super nice to sleep an entire night...David & I both are already sleep deprived and the baby isn't even here! Jomi bought me a body pillow and I tried it out last night I think I lasted a little bit with it but at some point I just got rid of everything!! It's winter and I'm sleeping with the FAN ON!! Well I'll update everyone on how the appointment went later today....t-minus 4 hrs till the appt!
