CRAP!!!

We got the results of Dave's MRI yesterday and the scan showed some new growth. The doctors want Dave to start Chemo ASAP.

This is a little troubleing because usually after treatment Dave has at least a good year before we see new growth but this came back in 5 months. Dang!!

Let's pray the Chemo will do its job again.

We will keep you posted.

Surprise

Ok, It has been a very long time since I have posted anything. But I have a really good excuse. Lets just say I have been sick, sick, sick!!! All due to a little surprise our family will be expecting in October.

Yes, I am pregnant. Surprise!!! Believe me it was for us. After 8 years of doctors, needles, tears we were able to have Colton. What a blessing! We really thought that was it for us because we were not going to go through 8 more years of doctors, needles, tears in the small hope we could get pregnant again. We are very happy with the little bundle of energy we now have. Well somehow Colton must have kicked something into place while he was there, because without any outside help I am pregnant. I mean Dave and I were not even thinking about trying. This really did come out of the blue.

I did not believe it. I took about 6 pregnancy test before I would even call the doctor because I thought for sure they were wrong. Even after the first ultrasound at 6 weeks I was still skeptical. But at my last appointment at 10 weeks I had another ultrasound and there the baby was again. Little heartbeat and all. Wow. What a wonderful experience. I really am pregnant. I am almost 12 weeks and loving every minute of it.

I am also very sick. This baby is kicking my trash. But I couldn't be happier. I can be sick for a wonderful blessing like this.

Hopefully I will be able to post more often soon. This morning, noon and night sickness should end soon ( I hope).

First Steps

This is a really old video from back in September but I wanted to post it because it was the first time Colton really walked.

I am just a procrastinator so here it is just a few months late.

Fall Leaves

We had our family photo taken this fall and this is a very cute picture of Colton we wanted to share.

He loved the leaves and would not stop laughing when Grandpa threw the leaves in the air. We got alot of great photos. I will post them as soon as they get developed.
