::went shopping with Mother.

and last, most importantly, and certainly not least...

::heard a little baby heartbeat and am 14 weeks pregnant today!!

This one deserves more than a sentence. :)

We found out we were pregnant May 11 with some at home tests. We were quite shocked and so thrilled. Since then we have been to the doctor twice and heard a heartbeat both times. The first time the heartbeat was 180 bpm and most recently it had dropped to 160 bpm. It was such an amazing experience to hear a fast heart beat. It sounded like a horse running around inside of me. We have been looking up "how big is baby" every week and it is incredible to see how much the baby changes each week. We are blessed beyond words and more excited than ever. We are looking forward to changes that will come over the months/years to come.

cause I really like to be a winner....

I have a friend. And he is a pretty cool dude. He teaches 5th grade at my school and is kinda humorous. Well, he also has a blog. And it's a good read. You see, he is having a contest on his blog. And I looooove winning things. Who doesn't love to win? So dear friends, I need a little help and I'm calling on you. You see, I picked one of my favorite old posts. It is about making home visits to students before school starts and I adore home visits. He tells a couple of funny stories and I think you would all get a giggle. I need you to go to this post. If you all look at it, and then tell your friends to look at it on facebook and your blogs, I might just win!
