A Sad Announcement

It still seems very unreal but unfortunately it is true. At my regular OB visit on Wednesday we found out that we lost the baby. It came as a big shock because I had no symptoms that anything was wrong, also I was in my second trimester. The doctors cannot explain why it happened. I spent two nights in the hospital and now am home. I just thought I should post this since I just announced my pregnancy to everyone. While it was hard to tell if the baby was a boy or a girl we are sure it was a little girl. We were blessed by the support of our family and friends and by good doctors and medical attention.

Happy Birthday Talan!

On Saturday we went to Chuck-E-Cheese to help Steve's cousin, Talan, celebrate his second birthday. It was a fun party and Steve was very excited about all of the action and rides there. He is not quite ready for the games, but Daddy helped out with that part!

Odds and Ends

Since our internet connection is so slow posting new things on our blog has become more difficult - to make up for our lack of news here are a few things we have been up to lately...

Stephen tried to eat a bananna - peel and all - he got very upset when I took it and peeled it for him!

My couch potatoes...

Stephen loves to feed himself - the food seems to taste better... he says mmm mmm a lot!

New Years Day we went to Freestone Park with the Quist family. We rode the train, feed the ducks (Stephen loves ducks and says "cack cack" when he sees them), flew kites, played on the swings, you get the idea.... It was so much fun!

Big Brother

Stephen is going to be a big brother! I am 16 weeks along and the new little one is due on July 4th. We do not yet know if it is going to be a girl or a boy. Stephen wants a brother and mommy wants a girl secretly, but we will be delighted with either one! Here is Stephen sporting his home-made "Big Brother" shirt that we used to announce the news to our families ( a few months ago).
