Our Miracle.... # 2

So... I consider the adoption of our little guy Ty the first little miracle in our lives and now I consider the little one growing inside me as our second miracle.

Yes... I'm pregnant!!

Due December 5th

We just went in today for our second check up and everything is going great. I am officially out of the first trimester and excited for the second. I have been so lucky not to be sick at ALL!! Except feeling tired ALL the time and having a few aversions to certain foods... like chicken... and cravings for food with tomato sauce in it... I feel great.

The crazy part is Drew and I were all set to do invetro. We had done all our pretesting and were just waiting for my cycle to start so I could start the meds... you start meds on the 3rd day of your cycle... I never started!! The Dr. called me to see what was going on and I told him I must be really late this month. Finally after almost three weeks late I took a pregnancy test and we are having a baby!!!

We were able to hear the heart beat at our first Dr. visit... which is rare apparently... but I needed to hear it to really believe I was pregnant! I started crying right there in the Dr. office.

We are so excited for this little one to come into our lives and for Ty to have a little brother or sister. I know the Lord's hand was in this one just like he was with the Ty guy.

A Happy 6 Years!

Today Drew and I celebrate our 6 year anniversary. I can't even tell you how the time flies... but then again I'm sure many of you are feeling the same way. I look back at our wedding pictures and think "Man we were so young! ... and skinny... back in the day." We dated for only five months before Drew proposed and were married three months later. Looking back that was such a fast engagement... I guess when you know you know right. Happy Anniversary Drewser! You are the greatest husband a girl could ask for and you always have me laughing. I love you and can't wait for many more anniversaries to come.

Ahhhh.... Summer is here

Finally some sunshine and heat! Call me crazy but I LOVE the summer... the heat... playing in water... There is something about the scent of sunscreen and sweat on the small of my back that makes me completely smile.

I've been so terrible at taking pictures and blogging lately. The only pictures I've taken in the last two weeks were these ones of Ty eating spaghetti and insisting on using his spoon and my fork. It only reminds me of how independent he is trying to be these days... at least when it comes to eating. 

We have been teaching him to pray for the last few weeks and he is so funny when we tell him it's time for prayers. During dinner time prayers he'll close his eyes, bow his head and still continues to shove food into his mouth... with his eyes closed and head bowed.... we try not to laugh through the prayer. 

uhhhh.... I spoke too soon

As all boy as he is... he still loves circling the counter wearing my heels.

His Father's Son

Ty is growing up each day to be more and more like his dad. I can't even tell you how proud and happy Drew is every time Ty picks up a Sports Illustrated magazine and thumbs through it page by page using extremely excited expressions like "Ohhhhh.... BaBiBall!!" and "Ohhhhh.... Fuball!!!" Every time we have the TV on and are searching through the channels and Ty sees a basketball game or some other sporting event he screams out "BaBiBall!!" and actually wants to watch it. So... I am over ruled these days with what we can watch on TV... not that I had much say before the Ty guy came along :) So... although I can no longer watch What Not to Wear or a little HGTV in the evenings it is worth it cause... I love my boys!

Here's Ty in Drew's snow boots.

My little man..... all boy!

Ummmm.... ya.... I don't know who was more excited about this new toy... Ty or Drew and his friends who now can play HORSE inside the house.

Easter

I tried to get a picture of Ty in his super cute Easter Sunday attire but he would not hold still or look at me! ... so this is as good as it gets. How cute is his pink stripped shirt and little belt! ... he is turning into a boy way to fast.

Easter Sunday was fun. Ty LOVED all the candy in his basket and even the books he got. This kid is a chocolate feen like me. He could eat it all day. We spent the afternoon and evening at Drew's parents eating a yummy ham dinner and then having an Easter egg hunt with all the cousins. We finished up with gifts from grandma and grandpa and then bubbles outside. It was a beautiful sunny day... we got so lucky!

Nice from behind :) ...and he had to carry this empty candy holder with him everywhere! He loved giving the chick kisses.
Ty and his cousin Isabel in the Easter hunt at Grandmas.

All 10 cousins on the Pearson side. ... and yes that is chocolate in Ty's mouth... only way to keep him still to take a picture.
The chocolate bunny that he has been working on since yesterday morning! He went around the house carring this bunny and chocolate all over his face singing "happy... happy... happy!!"
