I AM PREGNANT!! Yes I will be very surprised if this comes as a shock to anyone because I did a mass email and had people spread the word etc. But if you slipped through the cracks, this blog is for you!!
Most of you have been with us throught the cancer and our heartache that we may not be able to have more children unless it was through a $20K in vetro fertilization. So you know what a HUGE thing this is. When I found out, I dropped to my knees crying and said a prayer of thanks. It was really early in the morning so I layed awake in bed for an hour staring at Carson before I could justify waking him up!! He was so shocked and excited too!! He's decided it's a boy and Maddi wants a girl. I don't care either way, just give me a tiny little one and I'll be happy! I have been sick so I hear that's a good sign. Right now I am 14 weeks and for those who aren't women that's over 3 months. You can hear the heartbeat around 12 weeks and find out the gender around 20. So there are some reference points for you. I am not really showing yet. Well, I feel like I cannot suck in my gut very well anymore, but no one would be able to tell. I have shocked people when I say that I am prego. I am due on May 10th and that is actually Mother's Day! We just told Madison 3 weeks ago even though most of you have known for quite awhile! We didn't want to tell her until we were ready to tell everyone because well let's just say she has no "Poker face"! When we are playing "Old Maid" everyone knows when she has it and when you take it from her! She's so cute. So the story is that she and I made her a new tee shirt but we wouldn't let her wear it for another month. So we took this picture to email to our parents when I was 6 weeks along. Maddi is SSSOOOO excited and loves to read every week in our pregnancy book how big the baby is and what parts are developing this week. Right now the baby is as big as my fist. So I definitely feel it when I lay on my stomach. That for some reason is one of my favorite parts of pregnancy. It just feels cool! Try laying on a baseball and that's what it's like. Anyway...
I thought it would be fun to post some baby pictures of Maddi because she just turned 6, (subject of my next post) and so you can see what a cutie baby we have in store! What would a boy Maddi look like?

Kandi and Carson we are soooo excited for you! Sorry that you have been sick but it is well worth it!
Our due date for our first little girl is Feb. 4th! We will have to plan on getting together since we're only 4 hrs. apart!
Of course this post no surprise, but let me tell you... when we got that e-mail from you, I totally started crying. Darren was like, what's wrong with you? Your face is getting red... haha (I don't cry very often and I think he was a little shocked) After all the heartache and time... now it's finally been worth the wait! We are so excited for you guys!
Maddi is so stinkin cute Kandi!!! We never got to see her as a baby. so this is a treat. Ethan really misses you guys too, he had so much fun playing with Maddi while we were visiting with you guys. Thank Carson for my ring again and we would love to come and visit some weekend when it is good for everybody. Can't wait to see if Carson and I are right...it is a boy!!!
Kandi, I'm crying right now 'cause I'm so happy and excited for you! Congratulations!
What a happy post! Seeing those pictures of Maddi as a baby made me think of our little girls playing together...they have grown up WAY too fast.
Congrats again. We are sooo... excited for you and Carson. I can't wait to see your cute little baby. Everyone is prego in the family or just had a baby, except us. That's Dan's way of telling me we should have another one.
This is great news!! I'm crying right now, thinaks to your wonderful story. Can't wait to hear if it's a boy or a girl.
I too am so excited for you. You are such a good mommy and I know that you longed for another baby and here he/she comes!! Your story is so amazing and so beautiful. I remember the night you told us, I wanted to cry because I was/am so happy for you guys! I hope you are doing well up north-haha! We need to meet at Sea World sometime, we would love to see you! I hope you love your new place! Hope to see/hear from you soon!
Halelujah!!! I know I already got the email but its just so amazing what we've both been through, that we are only 10 days apart in due dates. ;D I'm so extremely happy for you guys! You two are GREAT parents and the children that come to home are SOO blessed! We're so grateful to call you friends and rejoice exceedingly with you. :D haha
BTW...where do you guys live now??
Melanie we live in Carlsbad California now. I cannot believe we are only 10 days apart! Tell me what you are having when you know and I will too. I don't know how to respond to someone's comment so hopefully I'm doing this right!
