As any of you who know me know - my Uncle Mitch died in August of this past year. My family has had a hard time with it, and we all think about him every day. Although I had Dave (and he is a wonderful comfortor) I realized after his death that, being the only child in my family, I would have to deal with and endure the deaths of each of my remaining family members alone... and it made my heart hurt. After having Cadence I thought that I didn't want any more children - that I would just spoil the dickens out of her, but I realized that I would be leaving her with the same burden that I will someday face. Dave and I decided immediately that we didn't want to do that to her, so I went the first week in September to have my IUD taken out. After a few months of regular periods and negative tests January 14th turned out to be my lucky day... Our first positive pregnancy test!
Now I am eight weeks pregnant and determined to love every single minute of it. The baby is due September 18th, almost a month after Cadence's 2nd birthday (am I crazy or what?!). Dave is really hoping for a little boy, but I am really hoping for another baby girl... we will, of course, be happy with whichever we get, and as we are not finding out the sex of the baby we will both be surprised on that blessed day. Please pray for our growing family and thanks for all of your support.
Cadence is doing magnificently by the way. She is learning new words every day and is glad that the weather is finally nice enough to play outside! I'll try to keep up with this blog - if you need an update though, the best way to get one is to e-mail me!
Well how excited was I to see you on Jenna's blog. I had no idea you had a blog. I deleted my myspace and I think of you when I watch Desperate Housewives..Im like gosh if I had myspace I could ask her what she thinks bout that. I seen you at church the Sun. of Dalls' dedication but didnt get to talk to you. I looked when we were leaving but couldnt find you. Lynn called me last week with your Awesome news! I am very happy for you and I am glad for your choice. Being a only child is not all it is cracked up to be huh. I vow not to do the same to my children someday. We need siblings!! Ok so this is getting long. Keep us updated.
