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!

Mother's Day: A Whole New Meaning!

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...

Family Day Trip

It has been months since we have gotten out of the house for a full day. It felt so good to "see" the world once again. The blue skies, the green trees, and the chirping birds were what we needed! We started the day by packing the car with our lunches, jackets, and masks. By 9am we were out the door headed for Rye, Colorado. Here we saw Bishop Castle. We climbed many stairs, many which were made of stone and some made of metal too. The higher we went, the more wobbly the stairs—yes, it was a little scary, but we ALL were brave. It was fun watching you guys get so excited about all the hidden areas that you could go into. Nothing was off limits. Hand Sculpture Best Kids Ever! Best Fun Large Chair Top of the Castle First set of stairs that we climbed!    Wobbly Bridge - Scary! After walking around this very unique castle, we found a lovely lake called Lake Isabel and ate our lunch right on the water. We watched a fire helicopter pick ...

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 ...
