Happy Birthday

Just as sweet as sweet can be,
Under it all you are part of me.
Little right now, but you are sure to grow.
It will happen to soon, that I know.
All I can do is laugh and play

Every moment of every day.
Vast blue skies and warm sunny days.
Ever and never will cease to amaze.

Cartwheels on the grass put a sweet smile on your face.
Having everything just perfect in pink and lace.
All the love you have and all the love you give,
Put something special into all who live.
Many years will pass and I will grow old,
All the love and hope I have for you this you can not know.
Not until you have spent a lifetime with a daughter like mine.

Our Little Secret!

Ok the 16 week secret is out 4 people know at church so it won't be long before everyone else knows. We've expecting our 3rd baby.

I realised back in February that I was pregnant. About 2 weeks after I found out I started light bleeding. That's never happened with any of my other babies. So I wasn't to happy about it. I thought I had or was going to miscarried. We still do not have insurance so I waited a day and the bleeding stopped. And 2 days later I was bleeding again and then stopped and 2 days later bleeding again. I did this for 2 weeks off and on. The bleeding was all light, so I had no idea what was going on. The Monday after we came back from our camping trip the bleeding was heavier, so I called my sister because she works at the OBGYN that I go to. She put me online with a nurse who wanted me to come in for blood work. And since I had no insurance and my sister worked there and (I'm sure she was upset after I told her) the Dr told me they would bill for the blood work as if I worked there. My hormone levels went up during the blood test. But I was still bleeding. They explained it may be a Molar Pregnancy or a partial molar pregnancy or ectopic . In either case I'd have to have a D&C done. I was pretty upset and cried all the way to the office. They did an Ultrasound. And there was a heartbeat!!! They could find nothing wrong with the baby or the placenta. The bleeding stopped about 2 weeks after the ultrasound. And everything seems to be ok. (If you want to call being nausea all the time ok!)Hey I didn't make it to 20 weeks like I did last time but almost 17 weeks is pretty long too ;)

Miss MoneyPenny and Felix

Ok everyone keeps telling me to update our blog and Julia wanted it updated about our pugs because she misses them. Felix and Miss Moneypenny.


Miss Moneypenny


Felix




We got Miss Moneypenny on our second christmas together. (I had been begging Paul for a baby and he kept saying he wasn't ready so he bought a puppy instead!) We payed way to much money for her at a pet store in the mall around christmas. Paul is a James Bond fan so he named her Miss Moneypenny. About a year later around thanksgiving (I was still begging for a baby) so he bought another male pug out of the newspaper (he was half the price) And named him after another james bond character. Over the first few years that we had them they went everywhere with us. And slept in our bedroom in a bed of there own. Until there snoring started keeping me awake and I had to move them to another room! They were the funniest things there favorite treat was pop corn. (They would get all excited and run in circles barking whenever we popped a bag.) We almost lost Miss Moneypenny about 2 years after we had her. We were visiting The Chapman's and Tristian had been playing with her outside while Paul was working on our car. I noticed he had come in and She wasn't with him. He said he left her outside with Paul. So when I asked Paul where she was he didn't know. We walked up and down the neighborhood calling for her but couldn't find her. It got dark so we left and I cried all the way to the interstate. Right before we got on Lonnis called and said that a neighbor had found her.
They were a little Hipper and chewed on way to much furniture. When we moved in with the Chapman's the pugs had to move outside. Needless to say they were a little ignored out there unless we were going off or comming home or playing outside. We didn't play with them as much. But Haley and Julia always ran over to tell them bye and hello whenever they could. Miss Moneypenny passaway a year ago in April and Felix passed away last friday. We had both of them for about 8 years. We had a funeral service for them and Julia went back out after we were done to sing them a song. We told her we'll see them again not to be to sad about it. Haley still runs over to the pin looking for Felix.
