Cruisin' continues

 At Karoke.. The boys were hilarious!

They had everyone there rollling!

 Ocean sunsets are the BEST!

We had 2 "sea" days and I enjoyed them!

This was my view for most of it! Aw so relaxing!!

we got to this pretty beach early, we had it all to ourselves

First Port: Chitzen Itza

 We stopped at the Antient Mayan Ruins. It was so hot this day! Started off with a hour and half bus ride in the morning.  It was 98 degrees when we got there. So it got much hotter that afternoon.

 The ruins were really cool to look at. Too bad we couldn't climb up the huge pyramid or go inside them.

Chitzen Itza is one of the 7 Wonders of the World.

 The tour lasted SO long! I was dying of heat and getting nausous. So I had to ditch the group and find any shade I could and sit in the dirt. I wish he would of sped up the process for us!

 MaryAnn, Kim, and I. Such cute girls! They were always looking out for prego me the whole trip. :)

 Finally the heat was over.

We had a nice, cool refreshment and lunch..

 and some Mexican entertainment.

 It was my 27th birthday on the cruise! Josh suprised me and had a special cake made for me!

Then he also suprised me with cute rose petals! What a cutie! He did good, and didn't spoil the suprises with his goofy, excited smile he always gets. haha

Cruisin' time baby!

 We just got back from a 5 day cruise to Mexico. It was a great week with lots of relaxation, fun, and sunshine!! There were about 30 people in our group. This was our formal night.

Sara, me, Kim, and Lydia



Swimmin' with my buddie!

Disney on Ice!

 I took Addie to her first Disney on Ice last month. She was so excited and so was I! Here she is with her BFF Emma and their fancy new Tinkerbell mugs.

 I really enjoyed the show, it was better then I expected. Addie was clapping and dancing the whole time. We kept saying,

"Wow! Look at that!" It was a special night for us!

I had so much fun with my own little princess!

It was a girls night out! We went with these cute girls

and their mommy's.

Addie and Lily

How cute are these girls!? Addie LOVES to be around Lily! She is getting so big and fun! She is such a good baby and smiles all the time! She is rolling over and makes us laugh all the time! Addie loves to practice being a big sister to her. She is excited to teach her so many new things! Hope these cousins can be great friends! I love these girls so much!

Visitors

I am back to blogging... wow that was along break. I have been SO sick the last 7 weeks. It has been hard. But I am starting to get a little relief now. And just in time. Cuz my big sister flew in from Virgina! And also her hubby Jeremy and my nephew Parker. Luckily I could keep the barfing to a minimum while they were here. We have missed them. Addie had so so much being all hyper and playing with them everyday. I wish I would of taken more pictures, but I wasn't really feeling up to it. :(

The grandkids

haha.. welcome to my family.

Janell and Addie

with Grandma

Playing doctor was funny. Janell was a bit nervous for what

Dr. Addie would do next.

A Stunning Discovery!

 Oh my heck! I have the BEST announcement! I AM PREGNANT!!! I was so shocked! We did it without any fertiliy meds or IVF! I got pregnant about 2 months after our last IVF cycle and right after we were accepted to the adoption agency. Ha so ironic I know. (we are keeping our papers in... who know's right? Bring on the babies!)

 So I was a few days late, and just decided to use one of my extra pregancy tests. I have taken lots this year and each time have been SO hopeful! But was always disappointed. This time I wasn't hopeful.. I was just curious why I was late. I totally thought it would be negative like all the rest. I wait the few min then check back on the test.

A DOUBLE LINE!! I was freaking out!

 I sat on the floor and cried and laughed and cried! I couldn't stop staring at the test! Could it really be true? I was pregnant? I was in shock. I just did not believe it. I was scared to get excited about it. So I went and got a blood test the next day and they confirmed it! AWWWW!

 I am so so blessed! Another miracle child for us! We are beyond grateful. I am so happy to be pregnant! I thought it was out of the cards for me and I was fine with adopting. I just wanted our family to grow. And now here I get the chance to be pregnant and take care of this child from the first day! I feel so lucky to be able to take my prenatals and eat healthy and take care of my body and my baby. With adoption I would not be able to have control over any of that. So another blessing that I am so grateful for.

 I have been feeling very sick for over a week so far, off and on. But it's a good sick, right? It is so so worth it and I am so thrilled to be a mommy again!

 Addie is so, so excited to be a BIG SISTER! She knows just what this shirt means and couldn't be happier. It surprises me how well she understands whats going on. She talks about the baby growing in my tummy everyday. She is waiting patiently for the baby to grow bigger and bigger.  She already picked out a name for it. Roses. aw isn't that cute? She will be the best sister ever to this little angel in my tummy!

I just went to doctor today and got to see the miracle peanut. Here it is, 7 1/2 weeks along. Strong heartbeat and everything looks fantastic!
