Baby Thom #2! [5 weeks]

Secrets out! Baby Thompson #2 is on his/her way! We found out on December 27th, 2014. I took a cheapo test and thought I saw a line but no color. I tore the test apart trying to figure the line out but no luck. I stopped by dollar general for another test later that morning- not expecting anything! I got pretty use to seeing negatives since starting this journey in June! There was a very light (purple) line this time! OMG! I showed it to my mom and asked her what she thought that meant?! This is almost an exact replay of the test I took with Rowdy. Instead of a warning, hey I'm going to take a pregnancy test. She just gets a test thrown at her and a demanding "what does this mean?!" So many questions before she even looks at the test! What is this? Do you think you're pregnant? Did you read the directions? Go get the directions! Makes me laugh.

 Instead of wasting energy trying to figure out the light line I went to Walgreens to get a fool proof test. I convinced myself it was going to say not pregnant. I was trying to not care about the 'not pregnant' before it showed up, well what do you know? PREGNANT!

Thank you Jesus! Thank you for this blessing! Daniel was still at work so after getting ideas from friends on how to surprise him I ended up wrapping up the test and telling him I found another present for him hiding under the tree! He is super excited already, so I can't imagine how he'll be after he hear the heartbeat! We are so excited for Rowdy to have a sibling, a friend for life. 

When I wrote this blog post I was almost 5 weeks prego!

Happy New Year! {[2015]}

2015! New year, new you!

What a lot of changes this year will bring us! We're getting a new house, Daddy's going to have a new job, and I turn two years old! I'm sure there's going to be a whole lot more that I don't even know about! Dad says that he's going to teach me Spanish and that's he's going to learn too. He said that he wanted to do this last year, but got really busy, and I wasn't talking a whole lot. But now that I'm a jibbering-jabbering-lil-baby, we're going to give this thang a shot!

This past year was a lot of fun! When I turned one, so many family and friends showed up for my birthday party. My mom and dad say that I am loved. With all of those people that showed up, how could I disagree with that?! So many people care for me and love me! My mom and dad also took me to a drive-thru zoo and we saw lots of neat animals! Although, I did NOT like the way that those foxes were looking at me... We even got to get out of the car and pet some pigs, goats, and a kangaroo! Yep!

Spending the summer with Mommy was so much fun! She didn't have to work, so we got to stay at home and play and have fun! A couple times a week, we would meet up with other mommies and babies to play and eat at the park.

I went to a lot of my other friends' birthday parties this past year too! I got a lot of friends! Can't wait to get bigger and start REALLY playing with them. Moms be scared.

Man I got a lot of cool new toys, books, and clothes for Christmas! My dad got me some Batman action figures (I think he likes Batman more than I do). I got a new tool set, cars, trains, blocks, bowling ball and pins, and more. I like Christmas because I get to see so much family that I don't get to see very often during the year. They make a lot of chocolate too!

My mom and dad tell me that they love me everyday. Every morning, when I wake up, Mom comes and gets me and we cuddle in her bed while watching TV and drinking juice.  And at night, even though I don't want to go to bed, it puts me to ease when mom and dad hold me, hug me, kiss me, sing to me, and pray for me before they lay me down to sleep.

My dad says that because of me, when I was born, he has a better understanding of how much God loves us. He knew that God loves us. But this "Fatherly Love" makes so much more sense now that he's a dad. He says that he would do anything for me; take away my sickness when I am sick, my sadness when I am sad, and my hurt when I am hurting. He doesn't want anything bad to happen to me. Much like God doesn't want anything bad to happen to us. And he wants to take those things and put them all on Him. My dad says that this kind of love has changed the way he thinks and acts, for the better. Glad I could help, Daddy! I know that I, too, will one day feel and show this love towards others, as my mom and dad have, because they are raising me and training me in the ways I should go, so that when I am older, I will not depart from it (Proverbs 22.6). I just have to listen and obey my parents. Haha!

Oh man 2015, bring it on!

God Bless!
