WHAT?!?!?!

I have taken a pregnancy test,

not once, not twice but thrice.

One last Wednesday, one on Sunday and

one last night. Each one was positive.

I am still in shock.

This WAS planned, very planned, we just didn't think that the first time we tried

it would work!

It took 2 years to concieve Charlee and 1 year to concieve

Tommy.

When Tommy was born, Lynn was done. He was happy with a family of four.

We have a boy and girl, he was done.

I, on the other hand, was on the fence. I have had this nagging feeling

that there was one more waiting to be apart of our family.

Then I just knew that I wanted to try for one more.

One might ask, "Why now, why not wait?"

Well, as our track record shows, I do not get pregnant very easily and we assumed

that it might take a while.

I also knew, though, that there was a possibility that

I could get pregnant right away, but that would be ok.

When I found out I was preggo with Tommy, I had to haul out all the baby stuff, buy diapers, get prepared for having a baby all over again.

This way, I am already ready. (Or so I think. I don't think I will ever be fully ready.)

This way I don't even have to put away the bottles.

I will just be in baby world a bit longer.

According to a pregnancy calculator online, my due date is March 2nd.

I am only about 5 or 6 weeks along.

I go on July 9th for my first doctors appointment.

I am nervous.

I am thrilled.

I am afraid of miscarriage.

I am excited.

I am afraid that something will be wrong with the baby.

I am still in disbelief.

I am scared.

We will need a bigger car.

Boy or Girl?

(I can't wait to find out.)

We will have double the doctor bills.

(Tommys birth won't even be paid off yet.)

I am happy.

I will be really tired.

(I already am.)

I am worried about money.

Can we afford another one?

(Not really.)

Can I handlle 3 kids?

Will I have hypertension and diabetes again?

(Most likley.)

I am emotional.

I just can't wait to get this little on here!!!

I have a lot on my mind and I know that Lynn is very worried

because he has to work his buns off to provide for us, and work has been slow.

I just know that the promptings that I had were real.

This is all apart of Heavenly Fathers plan for us.

I have faith that everyting will be ok and that, somehow,

we will be able to handle whatever comes our way.

Eydra Anne Berry

Here is my new neice, Eydra.Ree and her ball baby.

Grandma Strader with Eydra.

Charlee was very eager to hold her new cousin.

Congratulations Ree and Dan.

Tommy: 3 Months Old

My baby at 3 months old.

He is such a good sleeper!

Tommy's 1st St. Patty's Day

Ok, so this is really late, but here is my little Bee in his Green!

My Little Princess

I really hate the term "princess" for little girls, but Charlee absolutly loves princess stuff. She really likes all of the Disney princesses. We were at Walgreens a couple of months ago and I had a register reward that I needed to use, so I let Char pick something from the toy area. She chose a Sleeping Beauty purse that came with a necklace and earrings. When we got home she wanted to dress up in her pink dress and "plastic healings". So we did her all up. I even curled her hair and put a ribbon in it. She loves to play dress up!

For Charlee, no outfit is complete with out a pair of socks. In this case, Hello Kitty socks!

Tommys Glasses

Charlee thought that Tommy needed to try on Mr. Potato Heads glasses. At first I got mad, because I thought she might also take out one of Tommy's eyes, but when I looked over and saw this:

all I could do was laugh and go grab the camera!!

He is just so sweet.

I love my little man!

Charlees Jesus

Charlee loves to draw. She is very good at drawing "people". One day while I was on the computer, she was drawing on the chalkboard. She said, "Mom, look, it's Jesus!" So above is Jesus and below is big Jesus.

She cracks me up. I love this girl!!!!
