Week 18

I am absolutely AWFUL!! I have not blogged since Thanksgiving!! Well, A LOT has happened since then!

On Dec. 3rd 2011, I found out that I was pregnant!! I was a week late and stopped by WalMart and picked up a test! I took it and WOW! It said YES! I was in shock! I took a picture of it on my phone and texted it to Craig. He texted me back, "WHAT IS THIS??" He called a few seconds later and we were just so overjoyed and thrilled! God blessed us with these 2 boys and now we get to start all over again with another angel!

We told our families on Christmas Eve that I was pregnant. I made a picture album for both of my grandmothers and put a picture of our first ultrasound on the last page that read, "Coming Soon, August 2011". We all cried! We are so lucky that our family is so close and love us unconditionally!

My pregnancy has been wonderful! I was extremely sick my first trimester, but around week 16 I started to feel much better. I have more energy and I'm not sick! My doctor visits have gone great. The baby's heart rate has been 170, 165, 160 so far- very high! Dr. Bill says girl. Who knows? We will find out on Monday the 14th at 8am!! At my last doctor's visit, I was measuring 17 weeks and gained 6 pounds.

January did not start off good! Ever since January, we have been to the doctor every 10-15 days with one of the boys. They have had ear infection after ear infection and are just now getting over hand, foot, mouth disease! Wow! It was awful! The boys have not completed an entire week at daycare since January. They go about 3 to 4 days, then are out due to sickness! We live at the doctor's office!! UGGGGG! I am so ready for SPRING!!

Next week is Spring Break! Monday- Ultrasound, Tuesday- Zoo with the family, Wednesday- 15 month check ups. I can't wait!

Have a great Thursday!
