Nine long weeks, and 31 more to go...

So if you can add to 40, you have probably figured out that I am pregnant. Yes we did it again, this time on purpose and things are going much better. It has been a tough road so far but things are looking really good.
At six weeks I went to the doctor for the first time. She was hesitant to do an ultrasound so early because she knew how much I was hoping to hear a heart beat and I would fear the worst if I did not. I assured her I knew the likelihood of hearing a heart beat and that I would be fine but that I just needed to see that the baby was there and the right size. It wasn't. She kept asking me about my LMP and when I got the first pregnancy test and the dates just did not add up. She told me things did not look good, she was not seeing a fetus at all, and that by this point we should and that we would test my HCG levels to see if anything else was appropriate.
I went home that day and cried for hours, I knew that I had lost another pregnancy. I mourned. I grieved. I ate a lot. I went back to the Dr two days later and had the second HCG test done and the results were GREAT. I was so shocked and so excited. The Dr and I set up an appointment for the following Friday, giving the baby time to grow so that the Dr would be able to see a difference.
Well we did not get that far. On Tuesday at about 8 pm I got the worst pain ever in my right side, that went all the way down to my groin. I did not know what it was, but I never thought it was the baby. After enduring the pain for about 2 hours I went to the ER and was seen faster than I have ever been seen in my whole life. The Dr's initially were thinking ectopic pregnancy and one Dr even told Rich that I might DIE. We got an ultrasound done, and it was not the baby. They baby was great and Rich got to see the heart beat. Turns out it was kidney stones.
So I get checked into the hospital and am sent up to post partum, since I am pregnant. The OB comes to see me and lets me know the baby looked good but that I was a week later than I had thought (which was why they could not see the baby yet) BUT that I had a sub-chorianic hemorhage. (total misspell). She gave me some shots that I had to take once a week to "keep my uterus quiet."
Things are going great, I feel pregnant, hungry, tired, all of the things that I am supposed to feel. Until today, I started spotting. It took everything I had to keep it together. Luckily I happened to have a Drs appt today after work. I get there and the nurse does the doppler and I hear the heart beat for the first time. I have never felt such relief and joy. So Rich and the kids are there when the Dr does the ultrasound, and the baby looks great. She ( I want it to be a she) is moving everywhere, I could see her little arm buds waving about.
Then the Dr discovers something else. What she had that was a Sub chorianic hemrage was actually another baby, a twin that was not viable. Now you would think that I would be really sad, but all I can feel is grateful that the one baby is okay. I never thought about two babies, I was always just worried about getting one to stick. And one of them is fine and I am still pregnant and 3 weeks further than I was when I miscarried last time.
I am so excited and can't I have held it this long, well kind of, alot of people already know. So please be excited for us. Don't ask if we are sad or worried because we are not. We are beyond happy and so are the kids. Roscoe has two big brother shirts already and when he wears them he gets really excited and pulls it out for everyone to see. And well Roxy is demanding a girl...we will keep you posted.

Big boy bed and boots

Right before Roscoe turned 2 we got him his big boy bed and holy cow does he love it. I love it too because he sleeps so much better in than he did in the crib. He was way to big for that little bitty thing.

His GAV got him these awsome fire truck boots, that he loves. He got a rain jacket to go with it, but he does not love that so much. Look at his little bootie!!

Rodeo Stompin Fun

So I took Sarah and Melissa to the Rodeo but apparently did not take any pictures of us. I actually enjoyed the Rodeo his year. We watched some horse races, shopped, played tons of games and enjoyed humid free weather for a change.
why is it impossible to take a good picture of four people


Roxy wanted to ride the ponies the instant she walked through the gate, although she had just ridden a pony on Saturday. She was really mad that she had to wait in line

I scream, you scream, roscoe takes all the ice cream




While my sisters were in town I wanted them to try every flavor of the infamous blue bell ice cream. So I went to the store and bought every flavor they had in pint size. As you saw roscoe enjoyed it a bit too much.

bayou wild life park



While melissa and sarah were in town I wanted to take them to the places they do not have in Cali. The first place we went was the bayou wild life park. They had a blast

While we were riding I looked over to see Roxy lifting some of Roscoes food Copy and paste this and you can watch Roxy being sneaky

Roscoe was actually really scared and stayed in my lap most of the time. I should have seen that coming since he is afraid of the cow at chick fil a.
he got brave in the petting zoo and fed the goats.
Sarah was brave too.
Roxy is not afraid if much


this was before the animal part
