Excited But Cautious

We are excited to announce we are expecting. We waited a little longer to announce this time, hoping that everything will be o.k. The little person is growing well, and should be here around December 20th.
I've been nervous to tell people, last time it was the very day that we told the ward that everything started to go bad. This time we made it to 13 weeks and all is well. They (who ever "they" are) say after the first trimester your odds are better for not losing the baby. So, I'm starting to believe that this is for real and get excited. Up til now I haven't been able to put my heart in this for fear it might get broken again.
Mattina is excited. Matt explained to her when we miscarried that the baby decided to wait for a while to come, so now it's on it's way she's excited. She's pretty sure it's a girl. She explained to Matt that it's a pattern. Girl-Boy-Girl-Boy Matt countered with the pattern Girl-Boy-Boy-Girl (no, we are not having twins, they just like to have a complete pattern as they debate the gender. We will hopefully find out boy or girl on June 30th:) Yahoo!

First Showing

Well, it was starting off as a late morning, Jake woke up with an exploded diaper, so I had both kids in the tub and I still hadn't started to tackle the house or getting ready myself and the phone rang. Someone wants to show your house in one hour... WOAH! Ahhh... O.K.
My darling Sister-in-law came and picked up the kids while I frantically picked up the house. Luckily we had left it ready to show when we went out of town on Saturday, so making beds, doing dishes, and some toys put away made it look presentable. Panic for an hour though -
I've been told it only takes one family to like it. As Matt and I were leaving(he started lunch early to help his panicking wife with the dishes:) I commented that I hope this is the one! Wouldn't that be lovely:) One showing and DONE! (I can dream can't I???)

Cute Smile!

Doesn't the picture just make you smile??? ;) Our screen saver on our computer are photo's from our files. This one came up and I smiled at the memory and this cute boy! This was the morning of Jakes Birthday and we were playing with the balloons in the kitchen. It was so much fun. He makes me happy!
