The Beginning of a New Chapter...

We always knew this day would be nothing less than beautiful and amazing (our own fairy tale) - and after a two hour appointment, our first of the pregnancy, we were able to witness a true miracle growing inside of me (the start of the most magnificent fairy tale ever to be told). A miracle created by the most elated and delighted parents... how lucky and blessed are we.

At a mere eight weeks old, our little miracle had a strong and healthy heart beat ranging from about 134 to 150 beats per minute, fast but completely normal. When I first heard a heart beating on the monitor, I had to ask if it was mine—I felt like my heart was beating as fast and in sync with our little one. What a rush to experience this true joy for the first time. Emotions filled the two of us like a rainbow fills the sky after rain as we realized what our future holds; together, we will grow as a family of three—Baby, Mommy and Daddy! Suddenly, the cold, sterile room was filled with the warmth of our hearts. Nothing in our lives to date has been more inspiring and invigorating, it's truly amazing how one little being can bring two people closer together than ever.

Walking out of doctor's office, hand-in-hand with Daddy-to-be, we shared a moment of silence; our smiles spoke louder than words. It was Wednesday, April 25th that changed our lives forever, a day which will never be forgotten. In just a short few months, we will welcome Baby into our home. December 5, 2012 may be the day that our lives change forever.

Daddy and Mommy love you precious little Baby!


The yoke sac has broken away from the fetus.
Below the yoke sac the baby continues to grow with every beat of his/her heart.
So beautiful!

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 ...

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...

One Month

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 ...
