Ya'll have overwhelmed me with the sweetest comments and e-mails since I shared the news about our baby! Thank ya'll...they have meant so much to me!
So, yes, we are expecting a sweet little baby. I kept it a secret as long as I physically could. It was so funny...because I went through a time were I was about to bust to tell, then I got so used to only us knowing. I told Jason that I thought we would just wait several more weeks before telling, and he looked right at me and said, "Um, have you looked in the mirror lately? I don't know if you've noticed...but there is NO way you can hide it any longer." In fact, when we told our church friends, there were several who said they'd been watching from week to week and knew something was up *Ü*
I think it probably goes without saying that because of what we went through last year, I was very anxious and nervous the first few weeks after we realized I was pregnant. To be quite honest, I was a scared mess. I actually found out later this time that I was pregnant (not as early on is what I mean), so I didn't have to wait but a few weeks to see the doctor. I've been to see him twice already and had ultrasounds both times. We have a healthy baby with a very strong and very fast heartbeat, for which I am so thankful. When I heard that sweet heartbeat for the first time, I totally lost it on the ultrasound table. Such an answer to so many prayers.
One of my very best friends is expecting...as well as my favorite cousin...and we are all due within 5 days of each other!! God is so good!!!
Sleep has taken precedent over blogging these days. But I start my second trimester tomorrow and just this week I am feeling sooooo much better! I can actually stay awake until about 10 o'clock now. Ha!!!
We told the girls the Friday night before Mother's Day. I had been to the doctor for the second time the day before...he couldn't believe that we hadn't told the news yet. Actually my sister and my sweet friend (the one who is expecting) did know...but that was it!
The girls faces will tell you how excited they were. These were some sweet, priceless moments...
The girls were so happy! Lucy started crying, bless her sweet little heart.
And yes...we've done the math...Macy will be starting her senior year in highschool (and Lucy the 8th grade) when this baby starts kindergarten!!!
Mother's Day was so much fun. Macy made me a little bag of Hershey's kisses and sprinkles with this cute little note attached....
I got ginormous handmade cards...
Some sweet handmade gifts...
And a fun bag!
Never fear...Sunday Snaps are still happening *Ü*
I found these really cute and bright frames to put our picture in to give to my Mom and Jason's Mom for Mother's Day. It took them both a little bit to figure out what was going on, but it was a lot of fun!
So the next few pictures are a little random, but ya'll know I like to be random...
My sister made this adorable Mississippi State door hanger. I think I want her to make me two for my front doors (hint, hint...ha!). Although at our house, they'd have to be "states of Mississippi." Although we do root for the Dawgs when they're not playing Alabama.
Lucy found this hat toboggan (sp?) of Jason's and made it into a magic hat...
See? She pulled a rabbit out of it!
I love gerber daisies. They are my favorite!
We had our first snowcones (is snowcone one word or two??) of the summer...
The girls only have one more hour of school tomorrow morning. They've been staying up a little late this week, being that they only had half days both yesterday and today. Lucy came home today and declared she was going to bed. Sister was serious too...she crawled right up in Macy's bed and fell sound asleep!
I'm off to tackle this...
Hopefully I'll be back to blogging regularly...or at least a little MORE regularly!!!
