Baby Update

So today Garratt and I went and had our first baby exam and ultra sound. It was really exciting. We got to see our little grain of rice. The heart rate was 150...yeah....and we could see the baby a bit. We determinded that I am 7 weeks along and doing very well. I will post the pictures from the ultra sound as soon as I get them scanned.

There you have it a new baby on the way and fully verified!!!

No More Lemonade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is this old saying "When Life throws you lemons, make lemonade." Well, I have just one thing to say to that...I AM SICK OF LEMONADE!!! I am done!! NO MORE!!! I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE!!!

This all because of some stuff that happened at work today that puts us in a VERY difficult situation.

I will explain another time...for now PLEASE PRAY for our Family.

For those who do not know!

For those of you we didn't get to see while we were in California I am sorry. It was a busy and chaotic, but fun visit. We tried to see as many people as we could but I just couldn't get to everyone. Again, I am sorry.

So, for those of you that We didn't see...if you have not heard form others....I am PREGNANT!! I am, just over 6 weeks along and in the yucky morning sickness stage. We will be finding out what the baby is...sometime around April. My due date at this point is August 29th. We have not yet had this officially confirmed, we will be doing an ultra sound soon to confirm the due date. So, we will be adding a new bundle of fun to our family at the end of the summer.

A Snowy Return

Hello Everyone! Well we have made it back to Washington safe and sound...barely!! We got hit with a yucky storm just after we got home yesterday, We got into Pullman, unloaded, headed to the grocery store and made it back before the storm hit. It was like a "rian downpour" only instead of rain it was snow. YUCKY!!! They decided to have the University on "normal" operation which was a pain because it was so snowy and almost unsafe. Oh, well, our parking lot was REALLY bad again so Garratt decided to keep Faith home with him and I got bundled up and made the snowy treck into work on foot. I could not get the car out if I wanted to...there was like 11/2 feet of snow...I was wet and cold by the time I got to work but I made it. I will be staying here for lunch...I am not going to try and walk back home and then walk back to work. Then I will carefully make my way back home after work. Carefully being the key.

THANK YOU GARRATT

As most of you have heard the weather here is well...frightful!!! Pun intended!! So yesterday My Wonderful Amazing Thougthful Husband decided to put the snow chains on the car so that I could get around town more safely in the snow. That turned out to be the best decision ever. Yesterday it snowed and snowed and snowed and it is continuing to snow today. Yesterday however I did have to drive and get Faith and get her dinner and then get her back to dayvare for the Christmas Program which I am sooo glad we decided to let her be involved in. SHE WAS SO CUTE!!! (yes I am a bias mother) This of course ment that I was driving around as it was snowing and I was having to drive in areas that were not yet, or had not been in while, plowed and the chains were a life and safety saving grace. I ama little panicky about driving in the snow and ice. SORRY!! Oh, well we made it with no issues and got home just in time before the wind got REALLY bad and we got more snow. This morning it was evident that Faith's cough was worse then it had been so I decided to kwwp her home. Garratt was ome today and only had a little studing to do, so I stayed home this morning since he was at work and then he is home with her this afternoon. This turned out to be a good decision because it would have been a royal pain to try an dget out of our parking lot today. As a result I WALKED to work...yes folks...ME in the snow and cold I walked my hinny to work. Then I will walk home after work...whoo hoo. I will feed my family and then Garratt will be off to his Final. He has one tonight and one first thing in the morning so I am going to keep Faith home again tomorrow to try and get her better before we go to California next week, So I again will stay home until daddy gets home and then I will go to work. yeah!! I will post pictures from her Christmas Program tonight!!

Christmas Program

So...tonight is the PCCC ( Daycare) and the PCS (Pullman Christian School) annual Christmas Program. They include all the kids and it is fun. Garratt and I had decided not to have Faith be in the program and instead I thought her and I might go and watch (weather permitting). Well, that all changed. This morning when we dropped Faith off at Daycare I found out that Faith got upset yesterday. WHY?? Let me tell you the story.
Yesterday everyone went to the "Family Center Chapel" (which is located in the same building as the Daycare and the School, just upstairs) to practice for the Christmas Program. Since I had marked on the Program sheet that I didn't think that Faith was ready to be involoved Faith sat next to Sherri and watched. Well once the kids started clapping and singing Faith wanted to join. She sat in her sopt and sang and clapped and wanted to joint the kids. So, this morning her teacher asked me if there was anyway that I would reconsider, when I asked her why she told me this story. I laughed. Faith loves music and loves singing this I know, I just thought that because she wasn't standing on her own and she wasn't walking yet that she might be a little difficult. Well I was wrong. They all wanted her to be involed so Garratt and I agreed that as long as she did good during the practice today that she could be involved. So when Daddy got home he plugged in the video camera, made sure I had a tape and made sure I had the digital camera with extra batteries. Garratt has to work tonight so he is going to miss it but I am going to video tape it and try to get one of my firends to take a few pictures with the digital camera so I can post them here. So, afterwork I have to de-snow and warm up my car, go pick up Sissy, run and grab something for dinner, get back to daycare and change Sissy into her clothes for the Christmas Program and get a good seat for the show (somewhere close to the stage just incase we have a melt down or something) and then enjoy. The program doesn't start until 7 pm and is suppose to be like 1hour or something so by the time we finish and get the car de-snowed and get loaded and warm up the car and drive home, Daddy will be home from work to help Mommy get sissy to bed (hopefully before 9pm). I will post about the Christmas Program and hopefully have pictures to go with it tomorrow night!
