Baby, You've Got a Friend in Me! Love, Gabby

By Michaelinz
It truly is both funny and amazing how dogs can sense a pregnancy. I undoubtedly think that Gabby already knows that I am pregnant; although, I think she thinks Baby will be HER baby.

A relaxing Wednesday at home during my spring break, just the dogs and me while Michael was taking a psych test for his Lieutenant's class.

When Michael returned home, he told me about his test which took far less time then both him and I were expecting. This crazy test was something like 800 questions and a short interview. I think this long of a test would make anyone a psychotic mess. Michael said that the interview only lasted about five minutes because many of the questions were centered around drinking... crazy! After debriefing with me, Michael wanted to go change out of his fancy clothes into something a little more casual. Meanwhile, he is calling Gabby to go with him upstairs... but, I call back to Gabby as I am sprawled out on the floor next to the sofa covered with a blanket, "Stay with me if you want to play with Baby," and immediately she turns back around without any hesitation and nestles herself next to me and Baby. Michael heads back down the five stairs he had climbed to find Gabby staring at him. Michael and I busted up laughing, we were shocked at what we both just saw. We know that Gabby is probably smarter than we realize, but seriously, she gets it. Gabby continued to stay by my side as Michael headed up stairs, and continued to follow me even as I headed up stairs to take a shower.

In our house, this is funny because Michael and I always joke with one another about which dog likes the two of us better, and Michael is adamant that Gabby LOVES him more than me. So, Gabby really gave it to her daddy today... she told him who she really cares about—Baby! Gabby knows, she truly does, that a baby is growing inside of me; on the other hand, Bella remains clueless! Hehe!

Baby has a new friend... this reminds me of my favorite Pixar movie, ToyStory.


"You've Got a Friend in Me"

 You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
If you've got troubles,I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

 Baby has a friend in Gabby, and Gabby has a friend in Baby!

Mother's Day: A Whole New Meaning!

By Michaelinz
A Mother's Love Fills the Air... Today... And Everyday! It's Sunday morning, I wake up excited because today the family gathers together at our house for Mother's Day. Nothing makes me more happy than having the family under one roof. The last time the family was together at our house was the day we announced we are pregnant. Mother's Day is a day dedicated to mothers all around the world—a time to celebrate a mother's loving heart, her tender touch, her ability to always say the right thing, and her amazing know how (a mother knows everything). Michael and I our blessed to be surrounded by the most magnificent mothers. I'm excited to say that I have BIG shoes to fill... I have a mother and a mother-in-law who are super heroes; although, I know that with the support of each of these wonderful, brilliant women, I will be the next generation super-hero mom. I have learned that LOVE conquers all and PATIENCE is key. Michael and I thank our wonderful moms. We l...

Story Jar Questions #1: Historic Event

By Michaelinz
Great Grandma gave us a Story Jar... The point of the story jar is to tell the stories of your life, and record them for all to remember. How fun - let's start documenting. Question : Can you remember a historic event that happened when you were in school? Who told you about it? Dad : I was driving to school and on the radio I heard about 9-1-1. Cooper : We are living history right now because COVID-19 is happening as we speak. I remember hearing about it when our family went to the public library. Mom or Dad told me about it. We then had to do school at home for a couple of months. Mom : I remember two events in history from when I was in school. First, I remember when 9-1-1 happened. My friends and I were driving to school and we were listening to Alice 105.9, and they had been saying that an airplane had just flown into a building in New York. At the time, I didn't know that it was a terrorist  attack. Then, I got to school and I was a teacher aide in a Fren...

Ending School with COVID-19 (2019/2020)

By Michaelinz
I know... it's been a long time since I wrote last! I hope to be better about this because you guys are growing up so quickly! We are nearing the end of a really interesting year. Cooper, you are in first grade, and Reagan, you are in kindergarten. You both have blossomed so much and I am so proud of you. COVID-19 Face Mask (we had to wear them everywhere we went outside the house) Reagan , you have grown your kindness muscle so much this year. You are a friend to all. Your heart is so big and cares so deeply for others. You have become this beautiful reader this year. I love how you have persevered and enjoy reading to yourself before you go to bed at night. You have found such great joy in reading Dr. Seuss books and Elephant and Piggy books too. You are able to do this because you have really persevered in studying your sight words. Thanks for being such a wonderful leader in school, at home and at Taekwondo (purple belt, go girl!). I know that we are ending your first...
