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!

Below the yoke sac the baby continues to grow with every beat of his/her heart.
So beautiful!

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...

Story Jar Questions #1: Historic Event

Great Grandma gave us a Story Jar... The point of the story jar is to tell the stories of your life, and record them for all to remember. How fun - let's start documenting. Question : Can you remember a historic event that happened when you were in school? Who told you about it? Dad : I was driving to school and on the radio I heard about 9-1-1. Cooper : We are living history right now because COVID-19 is happening as we speak. I remember hearing about it when our family went to the public library. Mom or Dad told me about it. We then had to do school at home for a couple of months. Mom : I remember two events in history from when I was in school. First, I remember when 9-1-1 happened. My friends and I were driving to school and we were listening to Alice 105.9, and they had been saying that an airplane had just flown into a building in New York. At the time, I didn't know that it was a terrorist  attack. Then, I got to school and I was a teacher aide in a Fren...

Ending School with COVID-19 (2019/2020)

I know... it's been a long time since I wrote last! I hope to be better about this because you guys are growing up so quickly! We are nearing the end of a really interesting year. Cooper, you are in first grade, and Reagan, you are in kindergarten. You both have blossomed so much and I am so proud of you. COVID-19 Face Mask (we had to wear them everywhere we went outside the house) Reagan , you have grown your kindness muscle so much this year. You are a friend to all. Your heart is so big and cares so deeply for others. You have become this beautiful reader this year. I love how you have persevered and enjoy reading to yourself before you go to bed at night. You have found such great joy in reading Dr. Seuss books and Elephant and Piggy books too. You are able to do this because you have really persevered in studying your sight words. Thanks for being such a wonderful leader in school, at home and at Taekwondo (purple belt, go girl!). I know that we are ending your first...
