She Said

Well, we officially announced the news at church yesterday morning. Everyone was very excited We called a few people that weren't there that we wanted to know before they found out through the grapevine. My dad wore his tie to church and they told folks at North Hills. We went to mom and dad's house for our final Christmas celebration last night after church. It was so exciting to see our puppy!!!!! Mom got me a glider and ottoman for the babies room, so now we have to get all of Lance's stuff in there so I can set up my chair and rock!

Yesterday when we got woke up we surprised Lance's parent's with the news. We had a tie wrapped up that said "Proud First-Time Grandpa" and a sweatshirt that said "World's Greatest Grandma." They couldn't figure out why they were getting some of their presents early...until they opened them. Ann was so excited she cried and Danny was pretty excited too. He wore his tie and drove to see all his friends. They're already planning a trip up in July. I can't wait til we get home, now we can actually tell people...it's been a long three months!!!

We have our puppy back!!!! Well...sort of. We left for Oklahoma last night and our neighbor saw him in our yard this morning. He called us and asked why we weren't answering the door We sent mom to go get him. She said he was cold, wet, scared and hungry. His ribs were showing and he was really thirsty. Mom sent us a picture of him curled up under the Christmas tree. I'm so glad he's home and I want to see him!!! Our puppy is finally home after a week out in the cold snowy yuckiness and now the world is at peace!

Well, it's been 12 weeks and we had our 2nd doctors appointment today. It went really well, we found out me and the baby are both healthy We also got to hear his little heartbeat!!! It was 160 BPM, which the doctor said was very good. Lance joked that it didn't sound like a heartbeat...it sounded like he was panting after running a long race. We took a belly picture because I'm starting to show!

So Rusty ran off on Thursday and it is now Monday. I am very sad about this...he was part of our little family. Some of the girls down the road said they saw him get hit by a car and then get up and run off. We put up fliers and called the humane society and the vet to see if anyone had any information. I will miss having my little dude to hold and cuddle with. On a happier note, we should be able to hear Collin/Taylor's heartbeat tomorrow! I can't wait...I am a little nervous, but I do think once we hear the heartbeat it will be more real. My belly is starting to become very noticeable. I just keep telling myself we only have to keep this a secret a few more days!!! It's becoming really hard We go to see the Huntsman's on Thursday and won't get there until late so we'll probably tell them on Friday morning.
