Jamison's current phrases...

What the heck?

Hey...wait a minute....

Actually, that is not exactly correct.

Mom, whose blog are you looking at?

Can you download that for me?

Mom, my leg's broken again. ( Sitting at the computer and his leg fell asleep.)

um...excuuuuse meeeee!

In his prayers: Please bless that Mom will love me tomorrow. ( Like I wouldn't or something?)

On a sugar high: Mom thank you for telling me you like my picture, I love that you told me that, I love you Mom, I love drawing pictures, this day is so great. (That is randy to a T)

Where do you think you are going?

Update

Most of you have been asking about my sickness status so, I thought I would update you a little. I am feeling much better. That doesn't mean I still don't want to lay in bed a ll day, it just means I don't want to lay in bed and throw up all day. I do find that if I get a good night sleep than the next day is pretty good. I do have to take half a unisom every night to be able to sleep. If not, I wake up at about 3-4:00am and stay awake for a few hours. That makes the mornings pretty rough. (For me and Jamison.) I feel my energy starting to come back too. I think Randy is the happiest about that. Poor husbands...you wish they could just jump inside your body for a day so they knew the true suffering women go through. I think Randy is most annoyed by the fact that my already blood hound nose is even more sensitive. Most of the time he thinks I am being ridiculous or over dramatic. But, I swear, it feels like the smell, no matter what it is, finds me, attacks me then burns itself into my nostrils. Hopefully most of that will pass too. I really can't complain too much. Randy has really been there for me above and beyond and works so hard for our family.
Jamison is loving the fact of a new baby. We talk about it everyday. He loves to draw pictures of his new family and to talk about what is going to happen when I go to the hospital. He also looks at his own baby book everyday. He, more than anyone, is excited to hear what we are having. He is on the side of wanting a brother and I don't blame him!
So, that's about it just taking things day by day. I would love to get out of the house more hopefully this next storm won't hit us too hard....

My little artist...

Jamison drew this picture yesterday. He wrote out all the names of the family by himself and also sketched pictures of us that I think are pretty spot on. I, of course, am the huge one in the middle with the baby attached by the umbilical cord. Randy is on the left and Jay on the right. I love how we all look alike. I will cherish this forever!

Jay had such a great time with them here. We love having family in town and it was so nice we got to have them for a few days!
We also just got a new baby in the family. Karen and Josh Clements had a little baby boy named Calvin Russell. We cannot wait for the pictures and we are so happy for them!

Finally!! I can tell you.....

We are having a baby!!!!!!!!

It has been such a long road to get here. ( For full story check out my other blog July 15, 2008-Another Dr. Appointment...I am not sure how to link that to here.) But, wow. What a journey. I found out on Halloween. I did not expect it at all. In fact I more knew it was not going to happen due to the timing of it all. Between pills, charts, temperatures, tests, timing etc. I knew it wasn't going to happen. Randy and I even said, "Well, maybe next month." I was also getting very nervous because when I had talked to the Nurse on the phone she had told me this would be my last month on the meds and that next month I would have to make another appt. with the Dr. to discuss invetro options. So I just waited it out, very nervous of what next month visit was going to bring. But, my monthly did not come. (This was kinda odd because for the last 3 months I had been like clockwork.) After about a week I was becoming interested. I decided I would not get my hopes up and I knew I had taken about 50 negative pregnancy tests in the past. Before I decided to take the test I prayed that I would be comforted by the out come. Not that I would be pregnant, but that I would be able to handle the disappointment of not being pregnant. I went in, took the test and was stunned that it was positive. After that, I think I cried for about 3 hours with many thanks to the Lord for blessing our little family. Randy worked that day and knew nothing about what was going on. In fact, I had told him I wasn't going to take a test because it would be to sad. So, that night I showed up to the station with these....hoping he would get the hint.

His response was, "Are you serious?" over and over again. We shared an emotional moment and it was everything I could hope for.
The road has been really rough from there. Lots of sickness, and exhaustion to follow. I just now feel like I am starting to get some strength back, however I still have good and bad days. I am about 14 weeks along and I am due July 2, 2009. I am so happy to share this with everyone. Sorry we waited so long, but we just wanted to make sure everything was OK.
We told Jamison on Christmas and he is so excited for his new bro or sis named:
Lightning Brother Bell or Sally Sister Bell....We are not really excited about these names so any thoughts on names would be highly appreciated!
