Making a Mess in the Kitchen

Turkey Stealer

What can I say? She LOVES turkey!!! At least she tries to give it back...

Playing Around the House

So much fun! Her little personality is really starting to come out!

Getting to Know Eachother...

The relationship between Mac and Margaret Mary is becoming more and more intense! She LOVES him! She bounces up and down and makes meowing sounds when she sees him, and then tries to chase him all over the house doing her army crawl thing. Mac, on the other hand, likes Margaret Mary's toys but isn't so crazy about her. He has tried to scratch her a couple of times but she just laughs and keeps on going for him. When MM has gone to sleep at night, Mac chases her toys all over the house. Pretty funny...

Our Big News!

So, when I was late for my last period I felt like an idiot taking a pregnancy test. All the feelings of infertility came back as I watched the little stick to see what it would say. Jason and I weren't trying to get pregnant, but we weren't preventing it either (once you go through infertility, you never think of trying to prevent pregnancy again!). I felt so stupid looking at the stick and KNEW that it was going to say negative. I would then kick myself for jumping to conclusions, throw the stick in the trash and vow not to get my hopes up next time my period came late. I was completely shocked when the plus came up on the test, which means positive. It was like it wasn't for me. I was thinking "is this what it is like for normal people who get pregnant easily who never experience fertility problems?!?!" and "this is crazy, does it really say positive?!?!" Pregnancy is a completely normal thing, but I still think about it from an infertility standpoint, that it is a rare, miracle blessing. I called Jason and he what like "what?!?!;" he was so excited! He announced it to his office staff and then went out to smoke some celebratory cigars with them (he is a such a guy!). We can't believe that God has blessed us with a little baby so soon and are so thankful that we don't have to go through infertility again! I can't believe that God is so good! That he gives us the desires of our hearts when he doesn't have to. It would be perfectly just and good if God never blessed us with children, but he loves us so much that he fulfilled the desire in our hearts for kids. What a great God! So baby number 2 is due mid September and we are planning for a homebirth. Pray for our second little miracle baby! These pics are from the morning of the second pregnancy test (I wanted Jason to see it fresh). Margaret Mary doesnt know what she's in for!

Cutie Pa-tutie!

Playing with Margaret Mary is becoming so much fun. She is so interactive and tells you what she likes and doesn't like. Some of her favorite things to play with are tags, paper, wooden blocks, her animal toy from Granny and anything she can stand up on. I can't believe she is getting so big!
