He's Here!!

Ethan Daniel made his grand appearance November 3rd, 2010 at 1:23 p.m. weighing 5 pounds 2 ounches and 16 inches long. Everything happened so fast!  Our little man was 7 weeks early but is doing great.  He has been in the NICU for a week now and there still is no set time frame on when he will be coming home.  Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.  We are so happy he is here but not having him home is so heartbreaking.  I know that he is in the best place rite now getting the care that he needs.  It's just not how I had it planned!! 

Eating for Two

Last night I had to run to Walgreens to get a few things like trash bags and bottled water.  I waited until after Alex was in bed so I could spend as much time as possible with my little guy.  By the time I headed out I was starving...I knew I should have grabbed a snack before I left the house but I was in a hurry.  Shopping while hungry and pregnant is NOT a good combination.  Anyway just across the way from Walgreens there is a Subway. I love Subway and decided I would take a small detour and grab myself something to eat.  I also decided that it was going to be my little secret.  If I had called the boys at home to see what they wanted not only would it have taken forever to get MY sandwich it would have cost $20 instead of $3.80.  So not only was I saving time I was saving money...or at least that was my justification.  It's not like we didn't have food at home for them to eat. I was just going to starve if I didn't eat right then!! (Justification number 2).  So I go into Subway and decide upon having a 6" meatball sub. Maybe not the most healthy thing in the world to eat at 9 at night but oh was it ever good!  The guy who worked there was super nice.  He looked at me and said with this huge smile on his face "I added a few extra meatballs (Free of charge) on there for you because you are eating for two."  I must of had a weird maybe stunned look on my face because his eyes got huge. Like the oh crap she really isn't pregnant and I have just insulted a customer look.  He then says "You are eating for two right?!"  I couldn't help but laugh and smile the biggest smile ever!!  I told him yes and thank you very much for the extra meat balls. Then our conversation went on from there discussing due dates and the how hot and miserable I was going to be this summer.  He was a super nice guy!  What was even cooler is that someone actually could tell I was pregnant!!!  I couldn't believe it guys! When I was pregnant with Alex no one could tell until I was at least 14-16 weeks and even then my bump was small.  I know that it isn't baby that is showing yet but it's still super uber cool!  I just hope it's normal...I worry about that alot. Is this or that normal. Am I ok? Is the baby ok? I am sure that I am driving Steven crazy. Anyway I got so busted on my subway trip because of course I had to tell my hubby that someone actually knew I was preggo! 
Happy Wednesday!! It's almost the weekend!!

Guess What?!?!

Yep you are seeing right....we are going to have a BABY!!! (God willing of course) Sorry about the picture quality.  I tried so many times to get a good picture but I was using my cell phone (my regular camera is having a moment!) and it just wasn't coming out very good.  So I took what I could get!  To say that i'm surprised is an understatement.  I mean yes we have been trying for two years with no success BUT this past month was very rocky in our marriage and honestly a baby was the last thing on my mind.  We were both in shock when two lines appeared.  I got a pretty little digital test too that said "pregnant" but of course when I took a picture of it you couldn't even make out the word! I am still very nervous about everything because I have had miscarriages but I am trying to just relax.  I no He has a plan and it's out of my control.  I just want to say thank you to all of you who have been praying for us!!! He listened and answered!!! 

Have a great Tuesday!
