Proof Positive

In the coming days I will update you on my pregnancy by sharing my journal entries from the past month.

Wednesday - April 8, 2009
Tonight I found out that I am pregnant!
We started praying about starting a family last month and God blessed us real quick. I bought a pregnancy test today at Walmart, while running errands. I had a weird feeling something was going on with me and needed to find out if it was a baby. I came home from work with a terrible head cold and was super tired. I was excited about my 4 pound weight loss that week and was determined to keep on losing for bathing suit weather. So much for carrying out that plan! I took the test after dinner. I was certain I was overreacting but took it anyway. It proved positive before I had time to pull it out from under me. No 3 minute wait time needed! I don’t think I even washed my hands before I bolted down the hallway, through the kitchen and through the den to Randall's garage. I held up the test, looked him straight in the eye and said, "I'M PREGNANT!" He had the calmest look of shock on his face, as he stared back at me. He then said," I'm not surprised, I'm good like that." 1 shot was all it took and he scored. He had right to be proud. I was. I began to cry as my mind filled itself with a million thoughts and fears. We both stayed pretty calm for the rest of the night, soaking up the reality of it all. We played Wii the rest of the night. I became a pro bowler and beat Randall pretty bad. It was a monumental night.
I am calling Dr. Curry's office tomorrow to make my 8 week appointment to confirm all of this and start the journey to parenthood. We have been married for 6 years and 2 months as of today, April 8, 2009. We have built a strong foundation for Baby L. Randall says he knows Baby L. is a boy because he only makes boys. We shall see about that!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
