sorry guys, just realized that i never let anyone know what was going on with my ultrasound. We of course saw our baby's heartbeat! Our ultrasound tech, John, is so awesome! I told him, "you are so good! now can you tell us if its a boy or a girl?" he just laughed. I'm pretty sure that he's not ever going to read this blog, but John from Covenant Imaging Center, You are awesome! thanks! Our official due date is now October 7th.

we are still in middle of our bathroom remodel. however, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. i got a new countertop, sink, drawer knobs, and shower curtain yesterday. the floor is down and the toilet has been put back. thomas is working on installing the new counter right now. next he'll be painting and then i will be on my way to a bubble bath. Let me tell you, i am a 2 hour bubble bath kinda girl. the kind of bath where you have to drain out the water so you can add more hot. This pregnant mama is already having hip trouble and really, really, needs her bath! i can't wait. I have been taking pictures along the way. hopefully, i can figure out how to post some when its all down. i'm telling you, it is NOT pretty. but, its gonna be oh so nice when its done! Honey, you are awesome!

I really wanted to go to the drive-in tonite. there is nothing showing that is worth wasting my money on. the best part about going to the drive-in is the cheeseburger, fries, and coke from the 50's cafe! ummmm, so yummy!! i guess im going to settle for tacos and whatever is on the tv tonite. i don't usually watch on friday nites so im not sure if there's even anything good going to be on.

let's see, what else? Noah has started asking my to do school with him. i think he is jealous of the time that nathan gets to spend with me one on one. his Nana got him a Dora activities book for christmas, so i got that out and he loves following the dotted lines and matching colors and pictures.

Does anyone watch ER? I have been a fan since the very first season. Back with all the good people like Dr. Ross, Dr. Carter, Dr. Green, Abby.... Well, last nite, Dr. Carter came back to the show for the final few episodes. i used to always think that he was soooo cute. or i guess back in high school i would have said he was so fine. can't wait to see how it all turns out. looks like he's probably going to die, i wish he would just be able to live happily ever after.

oh, yeah, and my brother is running a marathon. He rocks!!!

i guess that's a long enough post for now

I haven't blogged in awhile. I noticed today, its been well over a month since i last blogged. I'm actually not sure where to start. There's been sooo much going on with me over the last month. I have dealt with some health issues. Had lots of test run, all to tell me a whole of nothing. On Thursday when I have more blood tests done again, it will be my 5th week in a row of being stuck with a needle at least once a week if not more. And, I still have more blood work to look forward to next week too. It doesn't even hurt anymore. Thankfully, I have really good veins, and the nurses never have trouble.

I recently found out that I'm pregnant! Yeah!!! It has kinda muddled up some my other symptoms I was having. I won't be sure which are symptoms I was having first, and which can be attributed to just being pregnant. Initially, my progesterone levels were really good. But, last week the numbers tanked. So, I am now taking progesterone pills to help with that. I had an ultrasound last week. I was only 5 weeks so we only saw that there was a sac and a yolk inside the sac. Next week I will have another ultrasound. I will be 7 weeks, so we should be able to see the heartbeat. Please keep that in your prayers. Seeing that heartbeat on the screen will be so reassuring.

Nathan and I are trucking along with school. We having been studying about fish: where they live, what they eat, really cool things about them. it's pretty fascinating. He's reading so good now. We are working hard on spelling. He can read a word, but has lots of trouble if you ask him spell or write that same word. We found this really cool book for our Bible lessons. its called The Answers Book for Kids. It has real questions about the bible written by real kids. Then a theologist answers the questions in really cute ways. My favorite so far was "Did Adam and Eve have a Belly Button?" Nathan thought it was really funny.

Well, my kids are both standing here BEGGING for some chocolate milk. so, i guess that is all for now.

BUT all that really matters now is.......

......... I'm gonna have another baby!!!!!!
