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!

Many Firsts While Camping

By Michaelinz
Undoubtedly, this is a camping trip that will go down in the books. Each day was packed with many fun and adventurous experiences.  After two days of packing the camper (you kids need a lot of extra "stuff"), we pulled out of our driveway and almost 8 hours later we finally arrived at Ridewau State Park. The drive down had some awesome moments and some other moments filled with tears. This was a long drive for both Rea and Cooper. This was the first long drive yet. Here in another couple of weeks we will be taking a much longer drive, this shall be interesting.  We met Grammy and Papa at the campground, they were thrilled to see the babes because they've been out of town for the past two weeks. More importantly, our little darlings were even more thrilled to see the wonderful Grammy and fun Papa. Together, we spent our days fishing at the upper and lower ponds. Cooper entered into his very first fishing derby where he won a certificate for the youngest boy who caught the ...

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...

One Month

By Michaelinz
Our little man has already grown so much. It's hard to believe that he is one month old already. We have watched our son grow to experience so much already. Cooper is beginning to track with his eyes, following his mommy and daddy. We do love how Cooper just stares at us, learning our every last feature, learning how to mimic a smile, raise an eye brow or pucker up for a kiss. Mommy can't wait for her little guy to kiss her back and Daddy cannot wait for Cooper to captivate him with a stunning smile (while he's awake that is). We have been amazed since day one at this little guy's strength. He has been able to lift his head off our chest and hover there for awhile. He will now push himself with his legs to a standing position when you hold him and position his feet on the ground. We keep telling him that he is a hockey player in the making, so I suppose he knows that strength is a good thing! Cooper's one month check up came upon us much too quickly. Little did I ...
