Gratitude

As I was surrounded by family and friends yesterday for Thanksgiving dinner, I realized I have soooo much to be thankful for this holiday season. I am soooo thankful for the newest addition that will be joining us sometime around July 11th. Rob and I have struggled with getting pregnant on our own and finally got pregnant with Alex using fertility treatments and we tried again in August doing the same fertility treatment (intrauterine insemination) but it did not take. Needless to say Rob and I were very disappointed but we understand that it wasn't God's will that time and looking back now I was under alot of stress and cut back my hours at work. We were planning on doing another IUI in November but we actually got pregnant on our own. We had out first DR visit Wednesday that confirmed that I am about 7 weeks but I have already gained 6 pounds and I have noticed that I have a little tummy now and my clothes are already getting tighter and this pregnancy has been very different with Alex. I have had alot of nausea and fatigue all the time. I will go back to the DR on Thursday to do a sonogram to rule out a twin pregnancy since twins do run in my family and Rob and 2 sets on his side. Please pray for a healthy pregnancy without all the complication that I experienced with Alex. I think that I can do away with the seizures this time.

Alex's Birthday Party @ Chuck E Cheese!!!!

A Special Day for Maurissa!!!

Tonight Maurissa had a High School Musical birthday party at Chick-fil-a. The highlight of the party was the pink Nintendo DS that she received from Mommy and Daddy. After the party the girls kept up with the theme and went to see the movie. What a girls night out!!!!!

Chuck E Chesse and Gang!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday!!!!

Yesterday we had a busy day celebrating Alex's 2nd birthday. We started the day with a birthday party at Mother's Day Out. We had cupcakes and balloons. That evening we took Alex to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday. He had a great time but was very afraid to see Chuck E Cheese on stage. Maybe next year Alex. Stay tune to see pics of Alex's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese this Saturday :)

2 Year Birthday PICS!!!!

Today we had Alex's 2 year pics done at Kiddie Kandids and I was very pleased with them. I don't know how they do it but they got Alex to sit still and look at the camera. How are a few of the ones we choose.

Brother or Sister??????

Yes, Alex is going to have a baby brother or sister. I just found out and was really quite surprised. I took a pregnancy test on Saturday and it was positive but I really didn't believe it then had some blood work done on Sunday that confirmed that I am about 4 weeks pregnant so that puts my due date around July 13th. I had just called the fertility doctor on Friday to do another round of fertility treament next month but I guess we won't need that because Rob and I actually got pregnant on our own. I am soooooo EXCITED!!!!!!!

The lil Football Player & the BIG Cheerleader!!!!

For Halloween Alex went as a Texas Longhorn football player and I went as his cheerleader. Alex attended his first Halloween party/birthday party for a friend from work. HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY LINDSEY!!!!!!
