Too Hot to Hug: Children's Book Review

Monkey was given this Too Hot to Hug by Steve Smallman from his Grandma Sheila. She passed away in 2012 right before Goose was born so it holds sentimental value. I believe even without that it would be one of our favorite books.
Crumpet, the dragon helps keep a family warm through the winter but come summer he becomes to hot to hug and the family has to give him away. Before they can take him back to his cave they discover a way to cool him down so he can stay with the family.
Each page is full of colorful photos along with a great story to go along with it. My boys ask for me to read it at least once a month. Which might not seem like much but when you have over 200 hundred books in your house along with weekly trips to the library, rereading any book more than once means it's a favorite.

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
