I know it's been awhile since I've been on here. Lots of exciting things going on and finally our lives have settled down. Brandon and I have been through alot lately and it seems as though after lots of hard work, persistance and faith, things are finally settled...


We have good/surprising news but we'll leave that up to you to figure it out

How are the boys?

You "sound" happy!
We are very happy about it. Justice is absolutely ecstatic

He falls all over me!
He won't let me do anything when he's around.

Deacon on the other hand, could almost care less
I think it will be more of an excitment when the baby is here.
He just said "I'll teach him to play video games and catch bugs"

Thank you all so much.
Well, We got out from underneath the HUGE payment on the Mustang and bought... a Mini Van.. Yes, I'm officially a Soccer Mom

I miss my Mustang but it was for the best. Especially with the new baby coming. There was just no room in the Stang.

As alot of you may or may not know I was told 6 or so years ago that I could NOT have any children. I have Ovarian Cysts, Cervical Cancer 2 times and Endodemetriosis (sp?) That's why I had a miscarrage back in Nov. We didn't want to tell anyone until I made it past the 3 months mark.

Well, low and behold, I'm 5 months and Due 2/3/10.
And yes, It's ANOTHER boy!!
We are thinking of Gage Keith.
I kinda wanted a girl but as long as the baby is healthy, we'll be happy.
We both have steady jobs and Brandon just acquired an occupational license
Which allows him to do small home renovations.

We have a very nice 3 bedroom apartment right down the road from both of our jobs and the kids school. We also saved up a small nest egg for things for the baby. It wasn't alot but we weren't expecting this to happen.
My parents were a bit upset at first but have started to slowly come around the last 6 weeks or so. I admit, it wasn't the best of timing but it is what it is and they are accepting it.

The boys will be 8 and 12 when the baby is born and so many things have changed!
I almost forgot what it was like to be pregnant! LOL!
I'm high risk due to my "female" problems in the past and I don't like it

I have to stay off my feet, no lifting more then 5lbs, no straining, etc.. The list goes on. It's a good thing I have a desk job!
That's not anything I'm used to. I'm on the go constantly and I hate having to sit still. I'm not used to having people wait on me or do things for me.

We went to Alabama about 2 months ago and I finally met Brandon's mom. She's elated about the baby too!
Brandon is the only child and this is his first and only child. (I'm getting spayed when he's born
)
Brandon couldn't be happier about it now. We were both really scared when we found out for several obvious reasons.

But all in all, life is going VERY good right now

Alycia -
And I mean on you and Brandon turning everything around! That is absolutely fabulous wonderful news! (Can I find some more adjectives!
). Sounds like things have improved with your mom too! ?????


I'm just busting for you and Brandon!
all continues to go well - especially with the pregnancy.
