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!

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...
