And then there were four.

1+1+1+1= 4.

duh. right?

But what about 1+1 1/2??  Ohh yeahhh... I'm speaking in "First Response" terms!  Silly me!  Well, I had to do some math in my head after reading this sucker!  Yep!  We're POSITIVE!

I mean, PREGNANT! 

I've got a sweet little cupcake in my oven!  He/she is set to make his/her lovely debut to the world on July 8, 2012; yes you read right! Another holiday baby! ::crossing fingers::

We.are.ecstatic. 

And this time, it was actually planned.
I told my hubby, "Wow. I feel like such an adult... We're trying to get pregnant on PURPOSE!"  It was THE weirdest thing to wrap my head around.  And still, I'm seriously trying to grasp it all.

You see, when I first got preggers with Miss A, I was a sweet 20 year old with nothing important on my mind, and my priorities weren't even IN the ballpark, but these days... Well, God knows my heart, and thankfully, I know Him, and now, have a beautiful relationship with Him; something that I didn't have then, that is now, going to make a world of difference.

This time around things are going to be well... different.  For one, Jr and I actually KNOW each other! HA! Yeah, go figure, right?  For those that know our story, you know I got pregnant as soon as we started dating. YEP, the magic happened that fast, folks!  The carriage in front of the horse, if you will! ha!

But this go 'round, we are SO much more confident, and not because we think we know it all, but because we now realize we have a God that loves us unconditionally; one that we prayed to bless this blessing; for His will to be done in our lives, and here it is.  Our prayers answered way sooner than we imagined. I can't put our feelings into words... we are just so incredibly thankful and so very humbled!


I know its early, and most do not recommend sharing the good news until about 6+ weeks, but like my good friend said, "No worries... only love, faith, and happiness! You're blessed!" I couldn't agree more!






Faith, Love, and Cupcake,
Casey

1, 2, 3, 4, tell me that you love me more!

I do!  I really do!!  Just when you think you can't love your child enough, they turn another year older!  I can't believe 5 years ago today, God brought my beautiful baby girl (ahem diva) into the world!  At first it was umm scary, and no, not because it was Halloween, but it was real life scurrry.  At just 20 years old, I was a newbie at just about everything, but quickly, I began to love this little being more than anything my heart could ever imagine!


Then (October 2006):

 The very first picture we took, together.  

And yes, with a camera phone! ha

She had me at "hello." <3

@ the Hospital (Women's Hospital of Texas):

 Someone is anxious.

 Chunky cheeks. 

 Right after daddy changed her diaper for the first time. 

 Girlfriend was so long, her newborn $20 Jordan booties didn't fit her! 

 She still looks the same when she sleeps... Much wilder of course (ha), but still such peace.

 Twinkies.

 Daddy's Princess.

Thanks, Facebook!

Well, after Facebook made some major changes, I find myself spending less time on it, and mostly because I don't know how to use it.  ha.  Fail.  But anywho, I have soo many blog posts bouncing around in this big head of mine, and they are dying to get out, and get on HERE... this place I dropped like a hot tamale.  Again, fail. boo.

Okay! So, now that Facebook is too umm hard for me to use, I feel blogging will more than likely be more frequent in the future. YIPPIE!  I'm not saying this will be every.single.day, but more so when I feel inspired.  I don't feel inspired when I KNOW I have to get it done everyday; it then becomes a chore, and I don't like chores. ha


Stay tuned!


I hope you all are doing FANTASTIC!!  I pray God's blessings be abundant in your home, the workplace, your friendships and relationships, and of course, in your heart!


ps.  last time I was on, it was 100+ degrees out.  Today, ohhhh (let me stop and appreciate), the weather here in Houston is AH-MAZING with a high of 73 and lots of wind!  Weeeeeeee!  The holidays are my FAVORITE FAVORITE (did I mention, FAVORITE?) time of the year! I love the weather, the colors, the decorations, the craftiness! Speaking of which, check this out:
