A Little Miracle....and other fun stuff

Well a lot has been going on in our lives lately. I have only seen Deven one day in the last two weeks. He has had to work every weekend and today is the 2nd day he has had off. I have been trying not to complain but we have been lonely without him. He works 12 hour shifts right now so he gets up at 4 a.m. and gets home around 7 p.m. Just in time to help put Gracie to bed and then he is fast asleep on the couch so I have to wake him up to go to bed. He starts nights tomorrow we will see how that goes. I think this would all be easier on me but we are letting everybody know we are expecting baby #2. It has all come as a shock and as a miracle in our lives. We have been trying for years and were finally told our best shot would be invitro. So we started all the lab work and testing and as soon as we got here we started going to an infertility specialist. I had just finished up all the lab work and was actually going in to set up an invitro date when we found out I was pregnant. Then we went through and ectopic scare as I was having a lot of cramping and with my history the doctor wasn't convinced and told us not to get our hopes up. But after a week of blood work and ultra sounds they were convinced everything looked good and that this is nothing short of a miracle in our life. So we were excited but I have been sick pretty much ever since the beginning. Nothing like with Gracie (so may be it's a boy). I had nausea and vomiting 24 hours a day and it got to where I wasn't sleeping at night so then I wasn't functioning during the day. Thank you to drugs. Deven talked to the doctor and with the help of anti nausea medication I am doing much better. Food doesn't always taste or sound good but I feel like I am getting my life back. So for such a long story we are excited and that is why it has been so hard to have Deven gone so much. But we are now hoping for an Easter Baby. And with that will come visitors so we are excited. Gracie can hardly wait. I just posted a few pictures below of things we have been up to. So I am a little behind with everything right now in my life. I am hoping for a good week and can start to catch up. Our carpet finally came so they will putting it in this week. Also I am trying to up date my blog but I am so computer iliterate, (I don't know what happened to me) I call Lisa all the time to walk me through things so slow but surely I am trying to up date it.
Thanks to Aunt Lisa for Gracie's new pink shirt. The funny thing is she just picked out new pink shoes and thought it was so exciting that it matched.

Gracie has started a gymnastics class on Saturday mornings. She loves it and counts down all week till next time.

On Deven's last day off we tried Kayaking. Gracie was never so sure and clung to me so tight the entire time and kept saying that is enough please don't tip us over. We kept trying to tell her she was safe but she couldn't wait to get out when we got back to shore.

We visited the Honolulu aquarium. This picture was taken in front of the jelly fish. Deven has now decided one day he is going to have an aquarium of just jelly fish. He thinks they are so cool. too bad you can't see them in the picture.

Our little princess... every picture has to be an ordeal. She strikes any pose she can but normal.
