Does this cake belong on the cake wreck blog?

Friday night we had our whole family over (except Kyle & Jan, who were out of town) for dinner. This is the cake we ate for dessert...



This cake is struggling just a bit. The lady did a terrible job writing on it but it got the message across! I am 6 weeks pregnant! I was a little apprehensive about putting this on the internet so fast. I wanted to wait until I told all the people I wanted to tell in person first before I posted anything on my blog. Then I also am just flat out scared and nervous. Everyone says don't be but that is impossible. I haven't been to the doctor yet. I had an appointment on Wednesday morning but Hannah threw up when she woke up so I decided I shouldn't go. I didn't want to get Jennifer's kids sick, I didn't get in touch with Amy in time, and I wasn't ready to tell anyone else yet. So I had to cancel my appt. I have a new appt for next Tuesday and I am anxious to go. I am hoping I will have an ultrasound and the first thing I see will be this sweet baby's little heartbeat! From what I have read once the heart starts beating the chances of a miscarriage diminish greatly! Really I only have like a 5% chance of it happening again anyway. I am being optimistic but it still doesn't ease the tension of analyzing every little thing. "Why am I not feeling sick right now?" "What is that little pain I feel?" "Should I be feeling this way or not?" I know it is crazy but those are the things going through my head. I am just leaning on God right now and knowing that He knows best. I am also really excited to be nauseous! LOL! That is the FIRST time I have ever said that. I know that if I feel that way that things should be okay. I decided I would go ahead and put this out there because I AM SO EXCITED!!!! I tried not to be at first, but I am! How can I not be?! What a blessing! The other reason is because I need your prayers for this little one. Pray, pray, pray for us, please. I know things are going to be okay but sometimes it is hard to stop the worrying. I am trying my best though!

This is me yesterday at 6 weeks - not really showing yet (thank goodness) but still carrying a little baggage from Hannah. LOL! I am due October 11!


We had a great Valentine's Day spent with our little family of 4. :) We first went to the laundromat to clean our bedspread (that is where Hannah happened to be when she got sick.) While that was washing we went to Jack's to eat breakfast. Then we went to Billy's shop so Josh could get a haircut. Then it was off to Office Deals. We ate lunch at Petrucceli's. It was so good. Hannah enjoyed eating her HUGE roll! She thought it was funny and loved that I wanted to take pictures of her eating it. After we ate lunch, we ran by Walmart for milk and bread. Then home for an evening of relaxing (don't tell Josh I said that - he HATES the word relax). I cooked dinner and we ate by candlelight. Hannah didn't understand the candles and spent the whole time trying to blow them out! It was so funny. What a wonderful Valentine's Day!
