Ice Cream!

It's 9:07 p.m. and Andy just left for the store to buy me Breyer's Natural Vanilla Ice cream and chocolate syrup. When I was pregnant with Bella he made me a bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup and chocolate chips almost every night. I'm 5 weeks today and it seems as though my taste for ice cream has already returned (I'm usually not a big ice cream fan)!

Such a lucky girl to have such a great husband!!

To Grandma's house we go!

Last weekend Bella and I traveled to my moms house and had a really nice relaxing weekend with grandma! The weather was absolutely beautiful and it was nice to have a couple to just visit and relax without a list of things to get done. We saw Grandpa's airplane which is beautiful. Unfortunately for Bella, she will never experience the thrill of flying in a homemade airplane (thanks to her mothers paranoia) but she will reap the benfits of Grandma dropping in for last minute visits and not having to worry about the 3 1/2 hour drive on a 2 lane highway! We also got to see Uncle Jason which is always a treat! He looks so good and it makes me happier than I can say to finally see him in a better place. I know he still has a ways to go (as we all do), but I also see that he is a determined and reselient young man who given the time and opportunity will mature into a the man that we all know he can be. Bella absolutely adores her Uncle Jason too, she talked about him all the way there and all the way home.

Bella's going to be a Big Sister!!

No one knows this exists yet, therefore I can post our exciting news! I'm pregnant!! I've known for almost a week now and can't wait until we see our family next weekend so we can share the news with them.

According to my calculations my due date is July 4, 2006, although the Dr. will give me a due date of July 2. Either way, looks like another summer baby!

What a different experience this has been for us. Bella was a very welcomed surprise, but a surprise none-the-less. This time we have been waiting and trusting that God would bring us another child in His perfect timing and as usual, His timing wasn't our timing. I will be 5 weeks on Sunday and am feeling really good so far. I've had some crazy urges to clean and organize and am wiped out by about 7:00 in the evening, but I'm taking advantage of my energy while I have it. I told Andy today that in the midst of my hormonal rages (I've had a few already) he may finally get a clean and organized house! ;)


Bella had her Halloween party at preschool yesterday. She dressed up as Jo Jo from Jo Jo's Circus and was the cutest little Jo Jo I've ever seen! She had a fun filled day of food, candy, pumpkin painting, face painting and games. She is really enjoying her time at preschool now. It was a definite adjustment at first but now I can hardly get her to leave when I go to pick her up. When I went to get her on Thursday I found her outside playing with all the little boys...that's my girl!!

It all starts somewhere...

And October 18th at 9:32 p.m. is time that my blogging experience starts! I'm always intrigued by other blogs and finally decided to give it a shot myself. To be honest, I'm not sure what I could post about that would be interesting enough for anyone to read, but I'll give it a shot. If nothing else I know my mom will visit (assuming there are pictures of her grandaughter posted).
