Things are looking up!

Well. It has been one crazy roller coaster the last month or so. We ended March with Scott's 30th birthday. His birthday was the 20th. I had a surprise party planned for him on the 21st for over a month and wouldn't you know that it was leaked two days before! Oh well. Scott said he liked it better that way. (I think he was making me feel better.) I sent him and 12 of his friends to play golf that morning and then we met at a restaurant for a little party with about 30 of family and friends. I hope I made it memorable for him. It was a blast!


We got another little surprise on the 27th. I happened to take a home pregnancy test because Scott thought I was pregnant. I didn't think I was because I had convinced myself every month after the miscarriage that I was. I took the test to prove him wrong and it ended up being positive! I was kinda half asleep and didn't realize I took a yes or no test. So when the test read yes I had to look at the directions to see what that meant. LOL It was pretty funny because I was not awake yet. I just thought it meant yes it was working. LOL Hopefully the baby will get Daddy's brains. hehehe We had our first sonogram on the 21st and everything looked perfect. The doc said I have a 95% chance of carrying this one to term and he also said that if I was going to have problems, I would already be having them. I felt a lot better after that doctor appointment. I feel like I can breath a little easier. I am due on December 2nd and the heart rate was 162. The nurse said that girls are usually in the 160's and boys in the 140's, but no guarantees. I honestly would love either one as long as they are healthy and happy. Blake has been such a joy that a boy would be great, but a Daddy's girl would be great for Scott too. I guess we will find out sometime soon. I am nine weeks tomorrow. So I guess that means 9 more to go to find out. LOL
Blake started playing Blastball this month too. I signed him up and Scott and I signed up to be coaches the day before we found out I was pregnant. It has been so much fun! His teammates act like they were separated at birth. They are all so cute and Blake loves getting out there and playing. He played so hard before the game with his friends on Saturday, he was little tired during the game. LOL We will have to make sure we don't get there that early again. hehehe Scott likes to be early though. :-) This is a picture of him with his team uniform and some of his teammates. There were two more added after this pic was taken.





Blake told me the sweetest things about the baby. We weren't going to tell him, but he figured it out and told my Mom I was having ten babies. LOL Scott and I decided we better tell him so he knows its only one. hehehe We told him a few weeks after we found out. Then, I was putting him to bed one night this week and he was telling me what color power rangers we all were. He told me like I have said in the past that he is the red one, Daddy is the blue one, and Mommy is the yellow one. But this time he added that the baby is the pink one! That is so sweet! My pregnancy hormones made me ball at how sweet that was. I haven't told him, but if its a boy, we may have to rethink pink. LOL The next day, he was begging me to let him go to school with me and pink power ranger. Now that was hard to tell him no. He is going to be such a great big brother!


This month we also had to say "See you later to Uncle Mudcat." My brother joined the army and he is currently in Missouri doing his basic training. He wants to become an airplane mechanic. I am so proud of him, but so sad at the same time. I am going to miss him so much, but I support his decision 100%. I would miss him no matter what he was doing anyways. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers please as he starts down this journey in his life.
