Pregnant!!!!???!!!

So Aunt Dietz asked when we announced that I'm pregnant. Well... about now.
Since I've had three miscarriages, we tend to keep this kind of news close to home. I deal well with my own disappointment, but others "well meaning" condolences just annoy me. So I don't like alot of attention if things go wrong. :) Fair warning to all. I've had my third Dr.'s visit and everything looks good... So I'm pregnant. Due July 28th.

Ash is excited... We're worried about Brenn. He doesn't like babies!!!
My Primary secretary just had a baby, and I wanted to get Brennen's reaction when he saw him. It took a little coxing, but he finally came over to look at him. All he said was "I don't like boy babies, I want gurrrllll baby." and stomped off. A few minutes later he brought back the rest of the kids to show them the baby.
We've been really trying to talk up the Big Brother responsibilities, and telling him that Heavenly Father will give our Family just the right girl baby or boy baby he thinks that Brennen needs to have.
So now his answer changes for each time somebody asks him what he wants. But he tells
me he needs two babies now... a boy baby and a gurrrrrrlllllll baby.

Ash has been busy this week making Valentine's for the Soldiers. She and Brennen made over 50. Her school is entering them in a contest for the local radio station to come visit their school. Ash says they have over 2000, so we'll see. That's pretty good for a school that has less then 100 kids K-6.
She has surgery on the 10th to remove the rod they placed in her arm to stabilize it. She has spent the last 9 months in a cast. We were over at the parents and she was playing with her friends. I reminded her not to jump. She thought that she was being sneaky and went next door to jump at the friends house. They do have a net, but it erked my that she disobeyed and let a friend talk her into something that they knew she's not allowed to do right now. The specialist said absolutely no wheeled toys and no trampolines for quit a while. She may have brittle bone disease, but we haven't decided whether or not to do the genetic testing for it. Paul's Aunt and cousins who have it, have a very mild form of it. As would Ash if she has it. I've talked extensively with Paul's uncle, and he said that the Bone density testing was much more beneficial then the genetics testing. And far less expensive. And all the experts would say would be to drastically change her playing habits. That's what they told Paul's cousins, and we're not willing to change Ash for something that may or may not happen. Kids get hurt everyday. Ash just tends to do hers with style.

Well that's our news for this week.
Love You All!!!!

Oh I really hope she doesn't have that...that would be sad. I can't believe she still has her cast on. POOR GIRL!

I love how Brennen only wants a girl baby. Where do they learn this stuff? Boy babies are the best, doesn't he know?

It will be fun to have our babies so close in age! REAL CLOSE! I hope all continues to go well for you. I don't think I knew you had 3 miscarriages.

Love you, thanks for finally blogging!
