Due Date: Christmas Day

Well, this is a first!  I pulled up due dates for this cycle (if I were to become pregnant).  It says, "December 25th."    It's fun to see that date and to dream about a Christmas Baby.  Then, the negative side in me kicks in--saying we won't have a baby until 2010!!!!  aughghghg  Time is marching on.  Agony.  I'm doing well emotionally this new cycle.  Maybe, because Spring is here!  I love this weather!!!

K

I took a pregancy test...I was awaiting the result when "K" came up in the test box.  I was so excited.  I told my mom that I was pregnant!  She said...but, it says K....I said, "Yes, it's means OKAY...you are pregnant!  I called my RE and rushed to the doctor to get bloodwork and to start my Lovenex shots.  

Then, I woke up.  It was one of those crazy dreams that was so real!!!  I did take a early test, but it negative:(  Aw, man!  

Disney Princess Race

Rich & Mackenzie posing with Mike & Sully at the Disney Hollywood Studios.  I asked Mackenzie if she wanted to go through the "door."  She promptly replied, NO!   Another thing, doesn't my husband & Sully have some resemblance?  They could be related, I believe!  Sully doesn't look so BIG next to my husband!  

I'm sorry for the organization of this blog!  I don't know what is happening while I'm typing....wierd!  So, here is Rich & Mackenzie posing with Mike & Sully at the Disney Hollywood Studios!  I asked my daughter if she wanted to go through the door!  She promptly replied, "No!"  Monsters, Inc. was one of her favorite movies.  It was fun to meet the characters!  Another thing, look closely at my husband & Sully, do you think they have similarities?  They could be related~!  Sully doesn't look so BIG next to Rich!  Rich is quite the comedian, too.  He told the boys a few jokes.  You should have seen them laugh!  

Next, we have Mackenzie and I entering Hollywood Studios.  We didn't tell her that we were going--it was a great surprise!  I love BIG surprises!!!  It is so easy to pull off when they are that young!  That's my girl!  We are both wearing our medals from the race!  Aren't you proud of us?

The picture of me is right before the Half Marathon!  It was the weekend of the time change-and we switched from Central to Eastern time zone.  I had to be in the parking lot by 5am-so, it was an early early morning for me!  I've made a commitment to run a half marathon once a year!  I've kept my promise for the last three years!  I always hope that I get pregnant right after my race, so I can train after my pregnancy, then keep my tradition going!  I should have ovulated before the race....so, I'm not sure if we caught the egg this cycle!  I am on cycle day 18 now...so, we will see if we got lucky this month!  

Leah is 15 weeks now!!!  Everything is progressing smoothly!  I'm so happy for her!  I wish she lived here in Birmingham so we can experience her pregnancy together.  I can't wait to see her baby!!!  He will be so loved!  She thinks it will be a girl...I hope it is-so, Mackenzie will play with her!  But, I think it might be a boy!  I have so many friends that are having boys right now...I think it's in the water!   

Mackenzie patted my tummy today (I've gained some weight)--she thinks there is a baby in my tummy!  She said, "Mommy, your tummy is growing!  You have a baby in your tummy!"  hehe  It's time to get back on my diet!  Sorry, for the long update...but, I'm just enjoying life & hoping for a nice suprise at the end of the month!!!!!   

Here is Mackenzie at the Finish Line of the Disney Princess 200 meter dash!  She sprinted to the finish line in her first official race.  Doesn't she look cute?  It was a beautiful day! Do you see the Epcot Ball?  Mackenzie, also, is sporting a unicorn on her face, along with her pink sparkly headband and new running outfit!  At the end of the race, she said, "I won!!!!  Where's my medal?"  Little Miss Competitive....hmmm...I wonder where she gets that from?

Snow, Baby!

So, how many people will conceive today in the Southern Region?  We are getting a snowdown in the South!  Most people will stay home when we get snowy weather...it doesn't happen often.  Like my husband said, "It's March 1, 2009".....it becomes historical here!  Mackenzie was up and ready to go outside!  We walked around the block, then began building a snowman!  Mac didn't last long-Rich & I were playing in the snow much longer than our 4 year old!  The snow is done-and the sun is peaking out!
