Day 12...Friendship!

Today I'm thankful for great friends! I'm so lucky to have a truly great friend that is willing to help when needed as well as just to laugh and have fun with. 


Today I went down to Colorado Springs to see a midwife for my yearly exam. Since we don't have health insurance at this time it was a better option to see a midwife than to pay to see a doctor. (Actually if you could ever have a "best" pap this was it. It really was relaxing and comfortable. I wish that my hubby was OK with me having a midwife and home birth for our next baby but as of right now he's not.)


I had to drive down to the Springs for my appointment which gave me the perfect excuse to visit my best friend. I feel like a little kid calling her my best friend but that was she is. She volunteered to watch Rex while I went to my appointment and then we sat and just talked and enjoyed catching up (we only get to see each other once a month normally and sometimes its work related which to me doesn't count). 


I really miss her when our lives get busy but even though there are times that we don't talk or see each other for months when we finally get together it's like no time has past. I think this is what makes us such close friends.


Today I'm thankful for FRIENDSHIP!

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug

My Pregnancy Story with Monkey

So I have one of those crazy "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories. Yes I didn't know I was pregnant until I was pretty far along but I will get to that.  In May 2008 we picked up and moved out of state. At this time we had been completely off birth control for 2 years and nothing. We also found out when we first started trying that I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)  which basically meant "good luck getting pregnant". We decided that we would start the adoption process if we were not pregnant by the time we were 30 so we had a few years (still do actually! Yeah God!) So we were just enjoying life in Oklahoma and enjoying the small town life. Every Sunday morning we would walk down the street and enjoy breakfast at Selena's, we'd sit on our front porch and talk with the neighbors, and visit family in town at least once a week. Starting close to October I started feeling like something was wrong with me so I went to the OU campus in Tu
