Surprise! (Again)!


I am pregnant. I can't remember the last time I had my period and I thought for the past week or so that I was sure to get it....all the symptoms....last night, I got out the one prego test I had left (it's old...so maybe I'm really not pregnant, but I doubt it at this point) and those two pink lines showed up almost immediately. Now, all those symptoms are making sense to me. I would estimate I am about 4-6 weeks. I went to the doc yesterday to do a urine test....got the results just this morning...POSITIVE!

I can't tell you how many people asked me over Thanksgiving..."So, when are you going to have another baby??"....We had a plan...after next year! We were going to take Alyson to Disneyland for her 3rd birthday (I guess that might be out because I think I'll be due just about then) and then in the Spring of 2009, we were going to start trying. I guess God doesn't always take our plans in mind. The other things (and I know I'm complaining right now..but I just need to get it off my chest so I can move past it) is we just lost our house and still have all this credit card debt. By that Spring 09 when we were going to start planning, we would have had that debt paid down over $10,000 and would be able to "see the light" to being debt free (we are doing a debt counseling program right now so we pay them monthly and they pay all of our credit and got the interest rates lowered and all). Then, personally....I'm going to be a fat pregnant woman. I have been trying to lose more weight and finally got down to 233 (my goal is 185)...by next year, I would have been down to at least 205 or lower....and I would have been happy getting prego with that starting weight....but now I'm still fat and now I'm pregnant.

*Sigh*...O.k...yoga breathe.... I liked being pregnant for the most part with Alyson...

So, I told Mike and I started crying. He sat up and put his arms around me and said, "Why are you crying?"...he is so wonderful and I think he is excited to be a daddy again! So, now that it is all confirmed with the doc, I need to make an appointment and start taking those prenatal vitamins.

I go for my first doctor appointment tomorrow (Monday). I am hoping I get an ultrasound to see how far along I am (and maybe a picture of the dot!). :)

Angel and baby on the way

It's been awhile.....

Hi, This will be short and sweet...I've been swamped with school, hopefully I'll pass my classes. I haven't been on my JC since the beginning of October due to school and work and life really. I've maintained at about 235 this whole time...so at least I'm not gaining, right???!! Anyway, trying to have a little fun here and there. I LOVE the holidays!! Thanksgiving is this week and we are headed to my sister's in laws up in Shingle Springs. Then, I think Alyson and I will take a road trip to Fresno to see my mom, dad and bro! Mike and I have been shopping for our christmas present....we are getting each other a BIG SCREEN TV!! We can't wait! Attached is a video of my little Alyson...she is getting so big!! (She's out of her crib now, too and in to a Toddler Bed!!). O.k...that's all......gotta run! Angel :)
