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!

We're Walking

By Michaelinz
Winter break has been so much fun this year with a little one WALKING all around. Yup, you heard it. Cooper is walking tall and proud with great confidence. He picked this up so quickly. He is always so proud of himself after taking some long and graceful strides. He claps for himself and grins the happiest smile.  Mommy and Daddy could not be more proud of his hard work and determination to want to do so well. He doesn't give up, he just gets up and tries again and again. Now, we ask, what are we in for, and will we be able to keep up?

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 ...

A Dad is...

By Michaelinz
Facebook is great for many reasons... Today, I read on someone's post, a quote, and it made my heart flutter for two reasons. My dad was my first love, and my hero — and now Michael is my love and also a strong hero in my world. Now, these two men will forever make their own imprint on Baby's life and world. Baby has many great men in his/her life, what a lucky Baby! "A dad is a son's first hero and a daughter's first love." - Michael is so much more, but I think these words are very moving, they made an impact on my heart and me. Michael is a hero to more people than he truly realizes. He makes his own imprint on family's and friend's hearts. We spent the day at Grandma's house as she continues to recover and rest from her ailments. We helped clean out her kitchen pantry and then cooked dinner. Again, we gather around the table and share wonderful stories—how I love and cherish these moments. Michael sits next to me and rubs my hand and h...
