Missing Girls

On November 1st, Gabby was hit by a car and died in my lap on the way to the vet. It was extremely sad and still stings when I think of that day. Gabby was our first baby and needless to say we absolutely adored her. We only had her for a year and a 1/2 before she was killed. We spend last weekend with my parents for Christmas and they gave us this beautiful oil painting of Gabby. When we opened it, I burst into tears seeing her sweet face. My mom was crying and apologizing for making me cry so hard! Of course, I loved it and couldn't think of anything better to remember her by. David loved it also. He was pretty speechless. Mom wanted the background to be blue and cream so it would go with our bedroom colors. She is so thoughtful! It is now hanging in our bedroom, so we'll see her everyday. Yes, the first few times I walked by it I was thinking I didn't really want it there because it made me sad, but now I'm use to it. David and I decided that we would focus our attention on Ann Reese to help us get past Gabby's death. It has helped a lot, but we still think and talk about her all the time.

David and I are excited that we are going to meet Ann Reese in less than a month! The pics below are a small progression of my belly so far. I haven't taken many at all. I feel pretty silly taking pictures of my belly, but I guess it's good to have for Ann Reese to look at one day. It's much bigger now, and I'll post pics of it soon!

14ish weeks

At my last doctor's appointment on June 9 we had our first ultrasound. The baby messured 7 weeks and 3 days. We thought it was 9 weeks and 5 days. BIG DIFFERENCE!! The doctor said that was fine and sometimes happens. Of course I flipped out and thought something was wrong. Thankfully everything is fine! The doctor said the ultrasound looked perfect and the baby's heart rate was 171, which is great! It was amazing seeing our little one! We are very very blessed.

Our sweet friends planned a celebratory dinner to celebrate the baby news! They are so great! :) Thank you girls and husbands!

We're having a baby!

Davey and I found out I am expecting a baby on May 12, 2007. I took a dollar store pregnancy test which showed a very faint positive line. I woke Davey up and asked him to look at the test. He could see a faint line, but we were not sure if it was really positive. I went to school and looked up information on pregnancy tests the whole time. I decided at 11:30 I had to go home and find out for sure. I met a friend on my way home to look at the test. She said it looked false to her. I decided to go home and take another test (not from the Dollar Store). It came up positive in the first 2 seconds! I was so excited to find out this news for sure, but I was very anxious about what comes next. I called my doctor and got an appointment for the afternoon. Davey and I went to the doctor where he confirmed we were having a baby on January 7!!! Davey and I agree that we are so blessed and this is completely God's plan for our lives. We couldn't be more excited!
