Surprise! We're expanding the family a bit further...

In July we spent a week in the mountains of West Virginia riding our four-wheelers through the Hatfield-McCoy trails and had a blast!! While I was there, I had a dream that someone handed me a pregnancy test and I took it and it was positive...Ha!! Now, wouldn't THAT be funny??? 3 years of fertility treatments and we had stopped trying anything about a year and a half ago, just before when My Love deployed.

So, we get home, and I just can't shake the dream, or the feeling that something was different. I went to Dollar General and had to secretly ask for a test (because Lil One was in there and I didn't want her realizing what was happening). I went home and did the test that day...INSTANTLY, this is what I saw:

I was in shock...complete and absolute shock...I told My Love to come see and he was in shock as well...neither of us expected that!
We went to the Dr later that week and confirmed via bloodtest...I'm PREGNANT!
Didn't have any idea how far along I really was because of the PCOS and irregular cycles, so we did a couple of quantitative HCG count tests and an Ultrasound later on. Apparently I'm about 10 weeks now (I thought I'd be closer to 12, at least).

So, without further ado...let me introduce our NEWEST addition..."gummy bear"

We are excited though cautious. This was obviously not planned, but definitely a blessing!

I guess we just had to "stop trying" and "relax" and "get rid of all of our baby stuff" and "give it time" and blah, blah, blah...I've never believed in all of that, but I do believe in miracles...heck, I have one already!!

Oh, and our last "new addition" of Sable, our "puppy"...she is a HUGE dog! She's smart and goofy and so incredibly lovey! She loves to play fetch and wrestle!
Here is a photo of her (Sable, (the dark one) 6 months) with our 10.5 year old (silver) Weimaraner, Bailey.

Adding to the family

So, it has been a very, very long time since I have written on my blog. I've just been...well...lazy, to be honest. Even when I think of something to write about, I just don't do it...or I write up a rough draft and never finish it up. But, we now have something to tell the world. 


As many of you know, we were not able to expand our family naturally as we had wanted, so we have decided to adopt.


We will be getting a beautiful baby girl. She has dark hair and eyes and we know that she'll fit so well into our family.


We have been receiving pictures and information about her since her birth. We have been buying and rearranging things to prepare for her arrival on Wednesday.


We have thought about this many times and the timing just never seemed right, but finally, the timing will work out well. We can't tell you how excited we are to meet her and love her and watch her grow up!!


So....without further ado, please allow us to introduce you to Sable, our newest addition!

Sable is a blue Weimaraner and she will be 6 weeks old when she comes to live with us. Bailey is, unfortunately, getting older and her fatty tumors are growing quite large, so we wanted to get a puppy now so Bailey can play with her and help us to train her. We are excited and a bit nervous, of course, because let's face it...as cute as puppies are, they can really suck sometimes (middle of the night whining, peeping/pooping on the floors, training).
