Jae's 3rd Birthday and a Huge Surprise!

     On July 7th we had Jaelyn's 3rd Birthday Party. We were throwing her a Dora the Explorer Party and had it all planned out. Well the afternoon of her party we got some huge winds coming through our yard and then a heavy down pour of rain for about an hour. ( we had not seen rain in almost 2 months.) After the rain stopped our electric went out. This is not a great thing to happen when you have 20 people coming over and still haven't cooked the mexican casseroles to serve. About 2 hours before the party was to start we packed up the casserole items and headed about 15mins away to Lonnie's parents. We got there and I prepped and cooked the casseroles and fixed my hair, and then we headed back home just in time to greet our first party guests. We still had no electric and found out that the line that went from the main line to the pole in our yard had been snapped by the crazy wind storm. So We had the party by candle light  and sun light, and opened up the windows. It was not that hot outside since it had rained, but it was getting to be muggy. Jaelyn had a blast playing with her friends. To my surprise everyone enjoyed the Mexican Chicken Casserole, Cheese Dip, and Cupcakes.
Jaelyn was so excited about going out and hitting the pinata, that she wanted to go outside after every present she opened. We had to make her stay inside and open them all. She got some great gifts: clothes, a big pool, toys, and pool toys. The electric came on after the party had been going for about 2 or 3 hours, so then my dad, lonnie, and the kids all had a water ballon fight. Everyone enjoyed  the party and had a great time visiting.
     The next morning was Jaelyn's actual Birthday. When she got up we gave her the gifts we had for her. There were a few little things and then she opened her Doll House. She had been wanting this doll house since Christmas. Every time we went to eat at the Cracker Barrel she would play with it. We also had bought her a little guitar, so she could play it when daddy played his. She loves it when her daddy plays his guitars.We took her to eat at the Cracker barrel and had the staff sing Happy Birthday to her. She got a little scared when they sang to her, but boy did she love her chocolate brownie and ice cream. I can't believe my baby is already 3 years old.
     The week before and  of Jaelyn's Birthday  we had been doing some major cleaning out at our house. So, I had decided to get rid of all of our baby stuff. It took about 7 years to get pregnant with Jaelyn and I truly thought since it had already 3 years after her that we would probably not be having any more children. Every thing got sold except some clothes. I mean I sold the stroller/carrier set, little stroller, walker, jumper, 2 bigger car seats, pack n play, swing, and high chair. Almost all of it was truly for a girl only all pink and brown. I was so relieved to be cleaning out my garage and extra bed room. So about 2 - 3 weeks later I was feeling bad and the pain kept getting worse. I thought I was getting a kidney infection so i made a doctors appointment. Back in May I got sick all of the sudden with some of the same pain and with in 2 days was admitted to the hospital for 2 days with a serious Kidney infection. So I went to the doctor expecting to hear you have a UTI and take these antibiotics. The Doctor Came in and said yes it looked as though I had a little bit of infection and I had felt the symptoms early. So she prescribed me some antibiotics and asked a few questions and then said do you want us to run a pregnancy test? I said sure but it took 7 years the first time and I highly doubt it will be positive this time. So, I sat in the room for about 10 minutes waiting on her to come back, and finally she popped her head in the door and said "It's Positive". I was in shock. At first I really thought she was joking with me and then it sank in I realized whey would she lie or joke about this to me. She asked if I wanted to see the test and have it. I said yes, because I wanted to show it to Lonnie so he wouldn't think I was joking. I opened the door to the truck and handed him the positive test. His eyes got so big. He looked at the test and then at me, and then back at the test. The first things out of his mouth were I guess I need to start working more and I told you that you had been acting strange. He had asked me a couple of times if I was pregnant, because he said I was very emotional lately. We were in shock for a few days, and Some people said maybe it's a sign we're gonna have a boy this time. since we sold all of our girl stuff. We are pretty excited and just hoping to have a healthy pregnancy this time. Girl or Boy we are still excited!!

Sunny Wishes,
