Moved In, WOOHOO

We have been in the house for a week, today. I am so excited about this house, it is beautiful and I love everything about it (except that we can't the AC to cool the master, but that's just minor, were working on it!) We got the new furniture and it looks so beautiful in the house, the kitchen table is a bit too big, but it will work! My chaise lounge will be here in a few more weeks, I'm sure that will be Jewels bed. She's not home yet, I need to get her a cage/crate and figure out where we're going to put the doggie doors for her to go out side, but we're working on it.

Isabella has adjusted really well with the new house. I actually just RAN around the house trying to catch her. She had paper in her hands and trying to put it in her mouth. Little rascal. She loves to run and dance and play around, she loves this house and I am do glad!

We still have some items in the storage building we rented and at my MIL & SIL. But we'll get it all soon and be completely here, unpacked is a different story.

Morning Sickness

I've already started getting sick in the mornings! It's much earlier than with Isabella, but at least I don't have to be dressed and ready for work, or on my way to work. I can just go lay down with Isabella. Or just not brush my teeth after eating breakfast. I think I can handle it this time! Lets pray so.

We're having a baby!!

I'm pregnant and it is very exciting. The second time around was so much easier than the first. I tried for 9 months before conceiving Isabella. So we worked really, really hard to have her! But this time we weren't really trying. I got off the pill in June and we have been so busy with the sell of our house and then building a new house and living with my inlaws that we really never tried. It just happened! And wow did it happen quick. I thought I would have to "try" for a few months. I have no idea when I was ovulating or when my last cycle started. I know when it was over, but I really am clueless how it happened so smoothly. This is the kind of "trying to conceive" I wish it was for everyone. You just wake up one morning and think, "um, I should have started my cycle by now." That is exactly what I did on Tuesday morning.

I told Brian I was late and he wasn't surprised, but a bit caught off guard. I went to the Dollar General Store in Anna, and got a test for a Dollar!! One buck! And it was positive right off the bat. I told Brian, and then the next day Thursday I bought 2 more test and tried again and both were positive. Gotta love the digital ones "pregnant" in the line. Can't mistake that can ya? So, were on the cooking baby #2 who will be born in April. I go to the doctor on Sept. 10 at 1:30 to see how baby is growing and such. How fun is that? Wow, I'm still comprehending all this.

I'll keep you posted.

New Furniture for New House!!!

I am so excited to finally have all the big new furniture bought for the new house. I have been shopping for new furniture for WEEKS now. I have worn Isabella and myself out! I hate shopping, and for furniture is even more boring than clothes or shoes. UGH! But, Brian and I were able to narrow it down to one store and we got everything there!!

We bought a new dinning room table with 6 chairs, and new kitchen table with 6 chairs, a new sofa and love seat for the down stairs living room AND a beautiful chaise lounge for our master. I don't think there is one piece I am more excited about than the other. I am so Happy about it all. Huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Now we'll have a place to eat shortly after we move in. One of my pet peeves is eating out of my lap, I just can't do it, my lap is too small or my belly is too big or my mouth isn't big enough or my arms aren't long enough. I have no idea, I just can't make the food go into my mouth. Oh, yeah, we also bought new bar stools.

6 more days...

We have been living with my inlaws for the last 3+ weeks and it really hasn't been that bad!! I do still feel like a guest, but its not bothering me as much anymore.

My family had a reunion this last weekend. My grandfather's side of the family. Not too many were able to make it due to the 100+ temps in Weatherford and all the sick kin-folk. It was so great to see my PopPaw. He is getting older and his wife is getting worse (she's my step-grandma). But Pop is doing great all things considered. I love him and I am thrilled he is able to see and get to know Isabella. I just pray he'll get to see and know my next baby. That way he will have been alive to see all his great-grandkids. That will make it easier for ME to let him go when time comes.
Each year another grandchild offers to coordinate and organize the next reunion. My cousin GiGi did this last one, and my other cousins have all done it. So I offered, it should be fun and fairly easy. I look forward to it.
