We Are Pregnant!!!

We have actually known for a while and I was going to tell everyone when I finally went to the Doctor and made it official, but I finally called the Doctor today and they can't get me in for another month. So I decided I couldn't wait that long to post it. I asked a friend on how to figure the due date because she said her date was right when she went to the Doctor, so that's what we are going with September 22. We really didn't plan to have a baby this time of year because with Gracey I was pregnant through the whole summer and I HATED it. I swelled up like a balloon. But I guess whatever the Lord has instore is OK. And it was getting to where Brooklyn and this baby would be almost 3 years apart, not that that is a bad thing I just want them closer. So, I only get sick when I get hungry, so I just need to eat before I get sick. I really haven't had any cravings, just roast. I hate lasagna and spagetti now. And another thing I used to love Diet Dr. Pepper and after I found out i was pregnant pop was too sweet so I have quite drinking pop. I do drink some pop when we go out to restaurants if they don't have any good lemomade so I'll have root beer, it doesn't seem as sweet. So that's good pop was always my downfall. Gracey and Brooklyn are excited, they want a brother, we will see how that goes(huh Cassie?) I figure I am 12 weeks this week. So when I finally get to the doctor I will be 16 weeks. So then that means the next appointment after that I will have my ultrasound and then find out what it is. So I guess having the appointment later makes the time go by faster. We are very excited, crazy to think about having 3 kids and being a family of 5. But I am sure we will get past it, everyone else has.

All About Gracey

This post is all about Gracey! For preschool they do a star student every 2 weeks and this week was Gracey's turn. They sent home a couple of papers asking about her and asking for a few photos of her with friends and family. And posting about this is really good for me to help me remember some of the things she liked when she was 4 years old. So here are the questions and the answers that she gave me.

Favorite game to play: Dora video game

Favorite song: Honey, Honey (off of Mamma Mia)

Favorite TV show: Sid the Science Kid

Favorite Sport: Dancing! (I really need to put her in dancing)

Favorite Food: Crepes

I think I was named Gracey because it is my favorite and I love it.

I am in Snuggle Bunny Academy and my teachers are Miss Joey and Miss Laurie.

When I first started preschool, I felt really happy because I loved it.

Now I think preschool is fun because they have toys and I met new friends.

If I could have anything it would be a doll, a barbie and a new toothbrush(these are the things she told me and she has all three of them, a very simple kid, but Idon't think she quite understood the question)

The best day I remember was on Easter, when I got to go find my Easter bucket. It had new clothes and butterfly flip flops in it.

My favorite color is pink and purple.

My best friend is Kalisha and Whitney

My favorite animal is the giraffe that I sleep with.

When I grow up I want to be a fairy. (here again I don't think she understood the question, but that makes it all that more funny)

I want to always tell my mom and dad that I love them with all my heart. (she is our very loving child)

Finally Potty Trained!!

This is such a good thing to have done!! We have been potty training for about a month and a half now. I really thought she would be easier than Gracey. I was hoping that her seeing Gracey go would make her want to go, but it didn't quite work out that way. But she is doing really well. She won't quite go on her own yet, but she will tell us when she needs to go. I don't know if she could go on her own yet because even with a stool she can't quite pull herself up on the toilet yet, a little too short still. But I think for only being 2 years and 3 mos she is doing great! So now we can relax and enjoy our "sandwich"(notice the sandwich she's eating).
