"wearehavingababyit'sa..............."

For the past 15 weeks, I have felt pretty good. A little indigestion at times and a little tiredness to go along but overall, I've felt great! It was 3days before Mother's Day that we decided to take a test. After being a few weeks late.......well, a test might be a good thing to take and it said "We are having a baby!" I did take a previous test but apparently the device was much more complicated than I anticipated and it read "SEE LEAFLETTE" - not something you want to see at this point. Who knew those little devices could be so complicated! (Well, actually they aren't but I had a hard time with it!) When the test came back positive, Greg proceeded to throw himself on the floor and flail around! He was so excited and wanted to tell someone, so he called his mother and father. They were at a St Louis Cardinals game and Greg asked his mother if she would be able to come and stay with us around New Year's. There was a moment of silence and then screaming! Good thing she was at a Cardinals game and other's around her were screaming as well. I told one of my sister's and grandmother by telling my nephew to tell them he was going to have a cousin. He then said "I don't have any cousins", my sister looked at me and said "are you really?" So, this little "peanut" will arrive New Year's Eve (hopefully before) but if not we will have one great new years to celebrate. I'll keep you posted on the next weeks!

Our Homes

Lately my life has been full of changes....and most have been for the good! We moved into our new home the first of June and have been getting the house together ever since. Before we moved I was able to spend some time with two of my best friends who offered to spend and evening painting with me. It's amazing how friendships can turn out. I meet both of the girl's in elementary school and through the years we have kept in touch. But the amazing part is how much "at home" I feel when i am around them. The bond is something i can't explain. All I know is that I LOVE being around them. They are both unique in their own ways and the ways in which they make me laugh. We successfully painted my den, foyer and dining room that evening. To say the least, I still have painting to do! So, if you need some great help with painting I know 2 excellent painters :) Our home continues to need paint on the walls, decorations put in place and rugs on the floors but we have time for that to take place. Meanwhile, our "2nd home across town" is still on the market. The offer that was placed on it fell through therefore we are still waiting (patiently) to sell the house. So that's what is going on with our home or should I say HOMES. I do LOVE my new house and can't wait to continue to "get it ready". If you should ever be in the area, we would love for you to come and visit.
