We're Pregnant!!!!

Most of you have probably already heard, but for those of you that haven't...I'm going to be a mom in about 6 months!  We are now 11 weeks into our pregnancy and I'm very excited.  I'll write more about all of it soon, but for now I just wanted to post a couple of pictures for you!  The first is of our ultrasound that was at 9 weeks.  The next picture is from today.  I'm officially showing a little baby bump!  People are starting to notice that I'm pregnant and it's very fun to show off my little belly.  I can't wait to meet my little one.  More to come later!

My family loved the video of Emma so I decided to post a couple more.  Here you go for all you Emma fans out there:
The first video is near the end of our day at Disney when Alex is entertaining Emma with her new stuffed animal Flounder.  The next video is from our day at the park.  Emma was loving going up and down the slide all by herself!  She would get to the bottom of the slide and say, "Good job, Emma".  She was trying to say that in the video but it sounds more like stop it...I think she got her words mixed up...lol.

 Ok...so I got through updating on the first week of January...now for the last month.  The last weekend in January Andy's mom came down from snowy NY to stay with us for a week.  That weekend we attended a women's conference at Idlewild Baptist Church (the church I met Andy at and attended for about a year), and were able to hear Nancy Lee DeMoss speak for a Revive Our Hearts conference Friday and Saturday.  It was an awesome conference and was very challenging.  Nancy spoke on topics such as filling our thirst with the Lord, having a heart of brokenness with others verses a heart of pride, and being a forgiving woman.  All of the sessions were great...I highly recommend any of her conferences if you ever get a chance to attend one.  On that following Monday Andy, Mom, and I went to MGM at Disney World (now known as Hollywood Studios).  I had never been there before so it was exciting getting to see a new park.  Andy and I also purchased our season passes that day so that we can go back to Disney as much as we want all year!  I'm very excited about that.  I also went to the spa with Mom on that Tuesday before she left and Mom thoroughly enjoyed getting a pedicure and manicure...she was definitely falling asleep in the chair!  We had a very good time.  Here are some pictures from that week:

Next comes Valentines Day!  Andy and I celebrated on the 13th instead of the 14th this year...will explain soon.  We went out to eat at Melting Pot...which is by far the most fun and yummy restaurant I've been to.  It is my new favorite...although it's a bit pricey so we'll have to save it for special occasions.  Andy also had sent to me a dozen pink and red roses with huge white lilies intermixed in them...they are so pretty.  We also went shopping at the mall and Andy got me the foot spa from Brookstone that I have been wanting.  I definitely got spoiled.  It was really nice having my first Valentines Day with Andy.  Last year he was overseas!

Then, last week we took care of Emma, my niece, for four days...from Valentines Day until that Monday.  Andy and I got in some really good practice for parenting.  Especially on Saturday when we took her to Magic Kingdom for the day!  We bought her a Minnie Mouse dress when we were there the week before and couldn't wait to take her to Disney all dressed up.  She loved going on all the rides, but especially loved meeting her twin, Minnie Mouse...she was so excited when she realized that she matched Minnie...it was so cute.  We also took her to meet the Little Mermaid, which is her favorite Disney character by far.  She has a little stuffed Little Mermaid that I got her back in November which has been her constant companion ever since.  She will sing parts of the songs from Little Mermaid while pretending her mermaid is swimming.  She's the cutest thing ever!  Here are some pictures of our four days with Emma:

Emma loved going up in the air for the Dumbo ride!

Emma was a little star-struck when she met Ariel.  Note the stuffed little mermaid she is holding.

Uncle Alex is playing with Emma's new Flounder stuffed animal and getting Emma to crack up laughing.

So...I'm almost caught up!  The only thing left is last Monday.  Andy and I decided to go back to Magic Kingdom to ride the adult rides!  Andy was off work for presidents day and didn't have to do any homework...so we took advantage of the opportunity to have a day to ourselves to go out and have fun.  We ended up having a blast....aside from me getting drenched on the log ride and having to buy new clothes to prevent getting pneumonia.  It also rained a little for about an hour...we got smarter though and bought ponchos so I wouldn't get wet again.  Here are some pictures from our trip to Magic Kingdom:

Me on Thunder Mountain Railroad...note the poncho and new shirt.

The fireworks were pretty!

Well...that catches everyone up!  Next week Andy and I are going on a cruise to the Bahamas together!  We are enjoying as many small trips as we can before we decide to have kids.    I'll be sure to post some pictures from our cruise soon after we get back.
