Ok Ok Ok Katie!

If all our recent posts with our PDA's (public displays of affection) weren't enough for you...
If you hadn't guessed yet that my husband and I were totally into each other already...
If you haven't puked in your mouth already....
Here's one more doosie for you....
This post is gonna really, really show you what a total nerd I am too... Go ahead, count them. Yep, there are 8 positive pregnancy tests that were saturated in my urine. (Amanda.) The first one is a pretty faint positive and was taken on December 22nd - two weeks ago. The other successive tests got a progressively brighter pink little positive line.
Do I need to explain why I took all these tests? Do I need to explain why I saved them? Or why I wrote the dates on them? Or why I lined them all up in perfect order and took a photo of them? I hope you don't need me to because it is just a totally lame thing I did and I don't deny it. Two words will explain it quite adequately: 1- I'm 2- Crazy.
So you ask, "Are you and Steve happy about it?"

Heck yeah we are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Y'all know that I am sooo not a private person. But I got pretty nervous this time around about announcing this. In the past we have always announced our happy news pretty quickly. Then we had 3 miscarriages, consecutively. You better believe I am nervous about another one. But I have always been of the mentality that I could use a little support in a loss that way - cause it does break my little heart pretty bad. However, I'm already beginning to feel a little more at peace and settled about this pregnancy. I will even go as far to say that I am feeling quite optimistic. I'm not saying that I know for sure nothing bad will happen, but I've decided to let myself get happy and excited about it regardless.

So now I am starting to feel nauseated. Not terribly. Just enough to feel like I may puke, but I don't. I am still able to eat pretty much anything I want and have let myself. As evidenced by my size 4 jeans deciding today they did not want to be squeezed onto my quickly enlarging body. I've managed to put on a nice little bit of weight over the last two weeks.

But we are thrilled and I have never been more excited to be sick in my life! I vowed long ago I would never complain about being sick again with pregnancy if I could have the blessing of another child. I may mention it, but I will certainly try to never sound like I am complaining.

So there you go. That's allz I'm gonna say about that for now.

In other news, my gorgeous sister Molly is here in town with her lovely husband and friend. I love it! Here she is today with her awesome dog.

And I got an email from a lady today who took a picture of my kids in an arch at Arches National Park. My camera batteries had died and she offered to take a photo and email it to me. The kids were pretty blurry in this, but I still liked it.

I'll end by saying that I have decided that the time has come for me to learn to do a video on blogger. I know I am way behind the times here and I've been way too lazy to learn. So no more sappy posts for you to deal with- at least until possibly Steve's birthday or Valentines Day or something. I am going to do a video! Just give me a little time to get to it.

See ya.
