Our busy life

So much has gone on in the last month. I know that I never write or update the blog but I have a few minutes so I thought that I would. Aleena is at Pre-school and Nate had to run into work for a few hours so I have a little peace and quite.
So if I started back from the last time that I blogged then this would be pages so I will just be short and sweet. Christmas was great I loved every minute of it. Aleena eyes lit up the second she saw all of the toys. Opening present took us a few hours. Not because she has lots of presents, just because she had to charish each one she opened for a few minutes. Nate and I didn't really do Christmas for each other (stockings and that is it). We are getting ready to go on a cruise in Febuary. Seven days!! I think that I am going to shed a ton of tears. I have never been away from my little Aleena more than 2 days. She will be in great hands staying with aunt Miriam.
On new years we had a Daugs family party that was loads of fun. Dad put it all together. That means it is my turn next year. I better start planning now.


Then our big news came on January 2nd. Something that we never thought would or could happen. I had been sick for about a week before that. Nate and Aleena both had the flu two weeks before, so I just thought it was my turn. But my flu was different. I would be sick then I would feel like I was straving and eat, then be sick again. Then I knew something was wrong when I threw everything in the frige away. (I don't ever throw left overs away on the frist day) Nate said that he thought that I was pregnant. I still said no way! I am not taking a test! It will say no! We can't get pregnant! I don't even want to have an emotionial week! I have thought that I was pregnant a time or two before and I don't want to get my hopes up! It is not possible! We haven't been on birth control for 7 1/2 years there is no way! Everything was running through my head Nate was possitive that miricles could happen and he always new it would someday. With or without fertility help. I on the other had new that it would and I was good with it. I grived over it before we adopted Aleena. And I was very much ok with it. Nate wasn't. So we figured out I was almost two weeks late. I still didn't believe it. I waited another 2 or 3 days to take a test. I was still 100% possitive that it would say NOT PREGNANT. So I took it when Nate was asleep. (He was on graves) I took the test and it said PREGNANT. "What the crap" is what came out of my mouth. I waited and waited for the NOT to show up and it never did. I ran as fast as I could upstairs to wake Nate up. I said "Honey, honey, honey it says yes" He was so confused he didn't even know that I bought a test yet. I don't think that I have ever seen a smile so big. He just said that he knew it. He knew that it would happen some day. He is the one that started searching on the internet about how far along we were, how big the baby was, and what my symptoms were going to be. He is the one that said go call the docotor this minute and make an apointment. We were so excited to tell everyone. We wanted to wait a month or two to make sure everything was ok. That didn't last. We started telling everyone the day after our docotors appointment. We have also had an ultra-sound and everything was great. The little one had a strong heart beat and was the size of a gummy bear. We are so excited and really still can't believe it. On sunday we will be 10 weeks pregnant.
Aleena is also so excited. She says we are having a baby brother. Everytime she sat on Santa's lap this Christmas she asked for a baby brother or a baby sister. We really did think that they were going to come to us through adoption. We had no idea that we were already expecting. I still really feel like there is a child that we need to adopt. We don't know if it will be soon or in a year or two. Adoption has been the greatest thing in this world. I wouldn't have changed our challenges and trials for anything. It just goes to show that it is really all up to Heavenly Father is how our children come to us.
