Second Visit...

It's that time again...

Fridays are typically wonderful days, especially after very long weeks. School is winding down and our sixth graders are preparing for Outdoor Ed. and their fractured fairy tale plays, so to say the least the kids are a little rowdy—they are ready to be seventh graders. It's only been two weeks since our last visit to the doctors, but these two weeks sure felt like forever. After hearing Baby's heartbeat at the first appointment, Michael and I couldn't wait to hear that beautiful, magical sound again!

Michael sat waiting for me in the school parking lot with a smile on his face as I walked out the two back doors of Fox Creek. I opened the car door and was greeted by the most amazing husband and soon to be most magnificent father. Together, we headed down the road to the opposite side of Highlands Ranch to visit our doctor again. As Michael parked, we took a big breath—this was it—we get to see Baby for the second time.

After checking in at the front desk, we headed up the tiled steps and found the same two chairs we sat in during our first appointment in the waiting room unoccupied. We routinely sat down as if we have done this a thousand times before. We sat anxiously waiting, watching two younger children play on the dangerous steps—my heart rate rose immediately. Fortunately, there was a nurse who came to the rescue, taking the children back downstairs to their mother.

Soon after, we were called back to begin our Ultrasound. With smiles on our faces, we closed our eyes waiting to hear the heartbeat of Baby. As we opened our eyes, we experienced something that we were not expecting, something that took our breath away. Another amazing little miracle. Baby was full of energy today, Baby danced and moved waving his/her arms and flapping his/her legs. I think we have a little athlete on our hands if you ask us. It was truly a miracle to see something so beautiful. Clearly, we were able to make out all of Baby's little body parts... except the sex, it's still too early!

Baby is healthy and active! Together, Mommy and Daddy walked out of the office again with a new memory thanks to our little loved one. Thanks Baby for making our life so thrilling already. You're amazing in every single way. We love you!

We're Walking

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

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...

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...
