Is it possible.....

...to be a planner AND a procrastinator?  I will totally admit I procrastinate way too much but I think it's just in regards to things I don't like to do.  This is why you are more likely than not to find our house in complete disarray at any given time.  I do however think I am a planner as well but truth be told, only for things I LIKE to do.  For example, I am 'only' 12 weeks pregnant but all I can think about is trying to find boy and girl bedding and decor that will go together just in case we are having a boy.  I want to be prepared!  So, if you have nothing better to do, feel free to do some online shopping for me.  When I search for help, all I can really find are theme suggestions like fish and I haven't found one idea that I like.  I wish I could find matching boy and girl sports themes but of course the girl's is probably non existent.  I have found matching crib bedding that is made in both girl and boy colors which would be perfect for twin babies but I will need crib bedding and twin size bedding and I haven't been able to find that combination. 

So that's what is going on in my head right now. Really, really important stuff!

Big News!

We've been waiting a long 7 weeks to let the news out!  We are expecting a baby in August!  Today I am 12 weeks along, just another 28 to go!  We're very excited and have been making plans ever since we found out.  There is going to be some major moving around and redecorating but that will be fun.  I wasn't sure how far along I was so the doctor ordered an ultrasound at the beginning of January.  We found I was a week ahead of where they estimated which was good news for me because I have not been feeling well.  I was hoping that my sickness would magically turn off now that I am 12 weeks but it doesn't seem to be the case.  With Megan's pregnancy, I was sick from Week 6 to Week 12 and seemed to turn off like a switch.  I think because I've been looking forward to this day so much, I may have jinxed myself.  Ugh.  It hasn't been as bad as it was with Megan though, just more constant.

We haven't really told Megan yet.  We are speaking in hypotheticals at this point.  We figure it will seem like years to her if we told her now.  She does want to be a big sister though and she will love having a baby around the house.  She always has to touch and talk to all of the babies she sees. This will be a dream come true for her!  Our goal right now is getting big sister out of diapers!  So far, I'm not sure who is winning.  More on that later!

Our Anniversary

Today is our 4th anniversary and I just so happen to be flying to Phoenix this afternoon to celebrate my sister's 35th birthday which is tomorrow.  I have been so crazy busy that I haven't had time to even get Josh a card.  So I thought the next best thing would be to write something to him for all the "world" to see.

Dear Josh,

Since the moment I met you, I have loved you.  I know you like to tease me about that but I know it is absolutely true.  I am so blessed that you came back into my life and gave me the best gift ever.  You are my best friend that I know I can share anything with you.  When I am frustrated or scared, you always know how to calm me down.  You always show me that I can do it, I can perservere and make my/our dreams happen.  You always know how to make me laugh even when you're not trying and I love being able to make you laugh, even if it's at my own expense which is usually the case.  I will always hold you on a pedestal, respect you and love you.  I will teach our kids to do the same.  I often think about not only how much I love you but how much I LIKE you.  You are always my number one choice to spend time with, we get so little of it.  You are also a wonderful daddy.  I appreciate how much thought you put into how we raise Megan.  How you think about what you do and how you do it and always trying to make it better or do what's best for her.  She can be quite a challenge but I know that together we will raise a wonderful little girl.  I know she is a mama's girl but she loves you so much and her life would not be the same without you.  Someday she will tell you how lucky she is to have you as her daddy.  And who knows, she might turn into daddy's girl here soon.

I just hope I tell you often enough how much you mean to me.  You are everything to me.

Love you forever,
Kristie
