60 days to go!

As the time continues counting down things are slowly coming together. I have now received and pre washed all of our new Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers. We are starting off with 16 diapers, with me the one in charge of washing we will soon see if that number is sufficient. We had the baby shower and got a lot more goodies. The Dr. appointments are about to change to every two weeks instead of every month. Taylor is very active, kicking and moving around. All in all things are going great! I think that we now have all of the essential baby items with just a couple of big items left to buy like the pack n play and a swing. I was just going through this blog and realized that I have not posted any pictures of the nursery in a little while... I think I will do that now, gotta go take some pics ;)

Taylors bookshelf..

A cedar chest I got our of Grandma's house and redone. She passed away on May 17th this year. I know that she would be happy.. #1 seeing how good that chest looks now lol, and #2 knowing that it will be Taylor's. Also this is the glider that we picked up at a garage sale for $10.

The crib, now outfitted and ready for baby Tay. Also her new bouncer seat.

This is the wall directly behind/above the crib. I can't take credit for this, this was all Helen.

Fuzzi Bunz diaper drawer ready to go.

Taylor's shelf.. also you can see "crib cam" which will be available to view online or on smartphones for family members.

And here we have her new stroller. So just as a quick recap, things are going great, no major issues with baby equipment or putting anything together. Were down to only 60 days and the race is on.. Turkey or Taylor.. which will come first!?

First Blog

This is my first attempt at a blog. This past year has been an adventure that I thought that I would never take. First off I found out that I was pregnant on Dec 4 2010. WHAT A SHOCK that was. Wayne and I never thought that we could have kids. We had been together for 10 years and NEVER used any kind of contraception. That led us to believe that we would be childless. We had both decided that we were going to put it in GOD's hands as to whether we would ever become parents. Needless to say I had a miscarriage on Dec 25th 2010. I have never been through soooooo much heartbreak in my life. What a crappy Christmas!!! I went from one extreme to another, absolute joy to absolute misery all in a day. I was mad, sad, frustrated, and in shock. How could my body betray me like that? How could GOD give me something so precious and take it all away in the blink of an eye? I was sooooo mad at GOD for a little while. I was a mess for about 2 weeks after finding out that I miscarried. If it wasn't for Wayne I don't know what I would have done. He was my rock and my strength throughout the misery. He dealt with the sorrow with me and left me alone when I needed to be alone. Of course to everyone else on "the outside" I held it together. What everyone didn't know was that I would cry myself to sleep every night. I honestly didn't know what I did wrong, or what I could have done differently to have prevented it. Eventually I came to terms with our loss and realized that there was a bigger plan for us.
This was when we decided to FINALLY get married. I knew that with everything that we had been through as a couple that if the loss of a child didn't tear us apart nothing could. We decided to do a wedding and honeymoon/vacation together. Wayne and I decided that we would go to Tennessee to get married. Two weeks before we left to get married, on March 21, I felt a little weird. SURPRISE!!!! I was pregnant again. GOD really does work in mysterious ways. I had told Wayne that I was NOT going to make a doctors appointment until we got back from Tennessee. If anything was going to happen then it was going to happen then. I married my best friend on April 4th, 2011. It is truly one of the happiest days of my life. What more could a girl ask for. I had the love of my life FOREVER now and I had the opportunity to be a mom again. Who knew that life could be this good.
I got a promotion at work on June 14th. This will allow my husband to be a stay at home dad, and raise our daughter. Oh yeah we found out on July 12th that we are going to have a girl. I am so excited that we don't have to worry about who is helping to raise our child. I find it so comforting to know that she is always going to have a parent there for her. Not to mention all of us women out there know that little girls are daddy's girls.
Fast forward to now. I am just 83 short days from my due date. It all seems so surreal to me. I can feel my precious little girl kicking and moving around everyday. It is the most AMAZING feeling in the world. When I first found out that I was pregnant I didn't know if I really wanted kids, now I can't picture not ever being called Mommy. I am so excited and scared out of my mind at the same time. What I do know is that I can't wait for the next chapter in my life. There is nothing better in the entire world than being called wife and mom.
