12-27-07

A year ago today I took a pregnancy test (4 to be exact) and they were all positive. I was completely shocked, scared and just didn't know what to think. I could not believe that I was PREGNANT!! I was a little nervous about telling Chad. I mean we both talked about me not taking birth control anymore and knew that this was a possibility, but we just didn't know it would happen one month after quiting the medicine! He knew I was late and that I was pregnant. He just didn't say anything. I remember taking the last test at home (the others I took at our Jasper office...no one was there, except Stephanie) and I just sat it on the bathroom counter and told him to go look in the bathroom. He was looking around and thought I had changed something in the room. He finally glanced at the sink and noticed the test. He asked if it was mine! He's so crazy! And then asked if I was pregnant. He was so nervous, shocked and a little scared. He leaned against the end of the bed and said I gotta sit down for a minute. He immediately wanted to tell people, but I wanted to wait...We ended up telling him brothers and mom and later my parents. Moments I will never forget. For some strange reason I even remember what I was wearing!
Flash forward to 12-27-08. We have Olivia, a healthy beautiful 4 month and 2 day old baby girl. She is THE BEST EVER!!! I don't know what we would ever do without her. I am so thankful that God choose to bless us with her. I can't wait to see what he has in store for us with her.

Mama Mia!

So...I am sitting here (on my new computer) watching Mama Mia! with mom and Sarah and Olivia. She is asleep right now though. Anyway...all this movie is singing, singing and more singing! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We did. Chad completely surprised me with my new laptop. It's so nice and it's GREEN my favorite color!! We also got a new tv a 42 inch flat screen it's so nice! I guess that is the only good thing about this movie right now. The new tv. Here are just a few pictures of Olivia on Christmas morning.

Four Month Check-Up

Friday I took Olivia to the doctor for her four month check up. She had to get another round of shots (four) and something by mouth. She didn't do that bad. She only cries for a second and as soon as I pick her up she stops crying. She weighed 12lbs. 8oz. She had only gained a pound and a half since her two month check up. I figured she hadn't really gained that much. She was also 23 7/2 inches long. The doctor said everything looked good! So now we are starting cereal and then baby food. I gave her a little bit of cereal Monday morning and she did really good with for the first time to be spoon feed. It will be interesting to see my dad feed her. He keeps her during the day (until he has to go to work, around 1:30) and then takes her to my aunt's house who lives behind my parents. It works out really well and it's FREE!!! My dad is crazy about Olivia. He has to see her at least everyday!! Here are a few recent pictures of her.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Thursdays 13

1. Olivia goes to the doctor tomorrow for her 4 month check up. I am anxious to see how much she has grown.

2. Sunday is our Christmas breakfast at church and I am not sure if we will be able to make it. We are going to Gadsden for my dad's side of the family Christmas.

3. Saturday we are doing Christmas with Annetta's family.

4. I don't know when I am going to really have the time to finish my Christmas shopping.

5. I don't think I really should buy Chad much more only because he has buying a lot here lately...stuff he wanted for Christmas!

6. I can't decide if I should buy Olivia the Jumperoo. We looked at one they had on display at WalMart and thought it would take her forever to even be able to reach the floor. I think she is going to be petite like me.

7. I don't really understand buying babies Christmas gifts. They have no clue what is going on anyway. Kind of seems like a waste of money.

8. I saw a bad wreck this morning on the way to work on 65 South. It was 3 cars. The car in the middle was up under the first car. It was crazy!

9. I think I loose my sanity almost everyday on my way to and from work. I hardly ever have a peaceful drive.

10. Chad had 4 teeth pulled yesterday. 2 from the top and 2 from the bottom. He seems to be fine. He acted like it really wasn't that bad. It made my teeth hurt just talking about it.

11. Tonight is our 2nd bible study on the King's Daughter. It's going really good. I will update later. Anyway...tonight we are going to do a goodie and ornament swap...I still don't have an ornament! I might not be swapping.

12. I am going to take a class in the spring semester. It's only one class, but it's a start on getting back in school. I have to take 4 classes before I can start the nursing program...well really you don't have to have taken one of them, but it's better if you have already taken it.

13. I really hope Chad passed his A&P class. I am going to be a little aggravated if he didn't.

I Love This Song

I working on a post that I will upload later. God has really been laying a lot of stuff on my heart lately. It's my hearts desire to grow closer to him everyday. I hope it's yours too!

Thursdays 13

This is really random....



1. I got my proofs last night from the picture we had made Saturday. They turned out really good! I am going to have a hard time deciding what pictures to get and in what size.


2. I also got my Christmas cards ordered last night!


3. We finally got our tree up Sunday afternoon BUT I do not have all my ornaments put on it yet.
   
4. Tonight is our girls bible study at Bri's. I am really looking forward to it!
   
5. Today I am wearing a sweater I bought from Gap when I was like in 10th Grade!! I doesn't really look that old, but I have had it a long time. I just can't seem to get rid of it!


6. I now have 50,290 miles on my car!! Ughhh.....I really would like this with tinted windows. I LOVE anything by Honda except the Fit and the Element.

7. Talking about Honda. I have had 3 accords. They are my favorite. I don't really know why.

8. I probably like cars way too much for a girl.

9. Tomorrow is my Fridays off!

10. I still have quite a few Christmas gifts to buy.

11. I really don't know what I am going to buy Olivia. Maybe a Jumperoo.

12. Me&Chad were talking last night and I finally talked him into getting new furniture for the living room at the first of the year!

13. Chad is such a BIG help to me. The other night I didn't get off work til 5:30ish and when I got home he had picked up around the house and washed all the bottles! I didn't even ask him to do that! He helps me so much. I don't know what I would do without him. It's so funny how your relationship changes when you have a baby. It's like we have a "new" love for each. It's weird. I have always loved him, but now in a different way. It's AWESOME!!
