Valentine's Movie Night

Last night the three of us went out for dinner for Valentine's Day. We had Thai food and it was yummy. It started pouring rain so we decided to come home and have a movie night. We all got in our jammies and put pillows and blankets on the floor. Eden snuggled right down and looked up at her daddy and said:

"Popcorn, please. Okay? Bye." (with a look that said, go make it now)

I died laughing as Daniel said, " You know, she gets that from you." And then he went to make popcorn. (while trying not to laugh)

She probably gets it from me. Oh well. But the popcorn was delicious. (Smile)

Eden and the New Baby

We have told Eden that there is a baby in my tummy. The first time we told her she looked at me very confused and then asked to "see him" (*note* we do not know the gender of the baby, that is just what Eden said). So I lifted up my shirt and pointed to my tummy and said the baby was inside there. She said "Out, out, out!" I told her that the baby has to get a lot bigger before it can come out. She said okay and moved on to something else.

A few days later she requested to see the baby in my tummy again and so I lifted up my shirt and she patted my tummy and said "ahhhhh." Then said "hi baby" and gave it a kiss and started singing twinkle, twinkle little star. It was the sweetest thing ever.

So I guess she gets it. She even told "Baby bigger out". Yes Eden, the baby has to be bigger before it can come out. But when it does, he or she will have the sweetest big sister in the world.

Yes, I am still alive

I am going to give a quick update just so you know how things are here. Since my last post:

1. We have made 4 trips to the ER....3 for me and 1 for Eden. Eden cut her eye falling in the tub, she is fine it didn't even need stitches. Mine were for dehydration
2. Since I made so many ER trips I am now tethered to an IV pole at home along with a Zofran pump.
3. Eden continues to be a sweet girl and has been very patient with Mommy being sick.
4. Daniel has been taking good care of us and working full time and he is tired all the time, I wonder why?
5. All of the great people at church have cleaned out home, brought us meals, and have helped out with Eden.

Even though life is difficult right now, we are truly blessed. I cannot even express how grateful we are, but just know that every little action of kindness is appreciated.

Homemade Christmas Cards

I had a plan this year to make homemade Christmas Cards. I made some last year and they turned out really cute. I had a design all created in my mind and I bought the supplies back in October, yep October, so they should be ready to go on by now, right? Wrong. I delayed and thought that I would wait until we got back from DisneyWorld and include a cute picture on them, great idea right? Right. So are the cards done now? Nope. Right now you may think that I am a procrastinator. Well, you would be wrong. That is not the reason the cards aren't done. I have been sick...very sick...morning sickness. Yep, I'm pregnant. So that is why none of you will be getting adorable handmade cards this year. But I think that's a pretty good reason, don't you?

Now you also know why there haven't been very many posts lately, or why there probably won't be too many in the near future.

It is a truly wonderful early Christmas present to be expecting. We are all very excited. So on my list for Santa this year? A healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby...and if he has time...a sleep induced coma for the "sick" part of the pregnancy ;)

DisneyWorld

Photobucket Album

We're Back!

We are back from DisneyWorld and we had a GREAT time! Eden's favorite ride, by far, was Dumbo the Flying Elephant. She would say "Dumbo, airplane, weeeee!" She also loved driving the indy race cars with Daddy and she loved meeting Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. We even got to have lunch with them on our last day and that was the best! My favorite ride was the Kilimanjaro Safari in the Animal Kingdom. You get to take a "jeep" ride through the animal preserve and see all sorts of animals up close. Daniel's favorite ride was Expedition Everest. A very fun roller coaster that I did not go on ;) I am adding pictures to a slideshow because there are too many to post, so enjoy! Now its time to finish up laundry from our trip....
