"Lil Valentine"

Yes, it's been a while since I've last posted, but, all is well!!

We had an ultrasound today, and since we do not want to know what we are having we let the ultrasound tech know that. Everything is measuring perfectly!! I'm sooo excited, as I was VERY worried that something would be terribly wrong with the baby. "lil valentine" weighs in at approximately 12 ounces, which is right on target! I didn't ask how long it was (OHHH how I really don't like the "it" word LOL). We did learn that lil one has already developed it's personality!! It is already sucking its thumb, and is very cute! but I'm concerned with breaking the habit, for the record, neither of my other 2 ever sucked their thumbs!! It is a lil wiggle worm too, as I had already told my hubby it LOVES to rock and roll!! always moving, I guess it's dancing, who knows!!

now for my usual weekly thing, that I havent' done in a few weeks!

My baby girl made the basketball team! She is a "team manager", and I think that is a GREAT way for her to see what it is like to be a part of the team! I am very excited for her, and know it will teach her LOTS of things in the long run. She is not very social (she gets it from her mom, I wasnt' either until after I graduated from high school), and I hope this will bring her out of her shell.

Have A Great Week!!

Nervous wreck!

My 12 year old tried out for the junior high basketball team! We will find out Thursday if she made it or not! I am sitting on the edge of my seat now... waiting on Thursday. I think I am more excited and nervous than she is. She hasn't played since I "think" she was in the 3rd grade, so that is 4 years, and she hasn't played a game since. She did reallly good out there, just help me pray and keep my fingers crossed!

Ugh! I hate waiting!

Have a great week!
