12 weeks

Can you believe I am 3 months along? Can you believe that I actually blogged? *wink*
Lots going on here..cleaning my house..getting ready for the cookie swap..Christmas shopping online..so easy (BTW I am just about finished)..working on my Ali Edwards December journal..organizing the kitchen..cleaning the pantry out..junk drawers, etc. fun huh?

So here is my first official pregnancy photo (carrying baby #4)..I have taught Mattie to say, "Baby in there", when I ask her, "What is in mommy's tummy?" So sweet!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

450th post!

I will be emailing personal invitations out today. If you don't receive one and would like to attend please email me: tiarasociety@netscape.net

Sweet sounds

I had a Dr. appointment this afternoon at 2:15pm.
We got to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time.
I am still amazed..even after 3 children..that you can pick up the heartbeat at 11 weeks.
It still takes my breath away.
175 beats per minute.
Strong.
I am again in love for the 5th time..
*Trae
*Izabelle
*Rich
*Mattie
*Baby #4
I am so very thankful for another wonderful gift.

Sincerely,

What we have been up to..

The first photo..is what I have been craving for breakfast. Jilly's B.E.C. Sandwich..num yummy!

Photo taken 10/26/08 before trunk-or-treating at church. Izabelle is a spider witch..Mattie is a St. Bernard.

There was a dunking booth, freshly made cotton candy, pony rides, bunny and chicken petting, games and music!

Photos taken on 10/28/08 the night we carved the pumkin(s). Mattie decided that it was just to messy for her royal O.C.D.-ness..ha:)

This is where we spent Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It is sooooo beautiful there right now..it looks like heaven.

I am seriously considering using this photo for Christmas cards this year. I am 10 weeks along here.

The view from our hotel (photo below).

Rise & Shine baby girl....

I had to take a picture..she had twisted her hair all night..it looked like she got it caught in a fan or something.

The fireplace in our hotel room that we got for 1/2 price..cause my husband is just that good:)

This is the way we brush our teeth..before we eat a free continental breakfast..biscuits and gravy and fresh bear shaped waffles.

We visited Ripley's Believe It Or Not..before we left town..Izabelle and Trae visited Zoltar to get their fortunes read.

Then we had lunch here..they serve a foot long polish sausage on a bun with grilled onions, peppers and tomatoes (Rich and I shared one)..num yummy!!!!

Ok..I am off to Moss' for their open house (9a-4p)..so I gotta go or I will miss it:)

Don't be a "jack-ass"
