Happy everything

 This video just became a whole lot more pertinent to our family...   Nate's reaction to the news wasn't much different. We're having a baby! Despite our fertility treatments, I got pregnant the first month we went without them. Pretty crazy! God is good. And I'm not sure why we had to wait until now, but I do believe that God knows. and at some point, I'll see it too. Either way, we are so so happy. Nauseated, but happy.

Many of you know about my ectopic pregnancy. If you haven't, you can read about it here. .. Many of you also know via our Christmas card (which I sent out right after Thanksgiving) that we spent most of this year seeking fertility treatments. When we went back to try again with my fertility specialist, after my ectopic pregnancy, he suggested that we do it again! Heck, it kinda worked the first time. Why not again?

  One of our favorite traditions is going to the University of St. Thomas to play in some wonderfully awful snow. :) It was hard and icy. But oh so fun. I'm afraid that this is as good as it gets in Houston. They have a ceremonial Tree lighting at #universityofstthomas #deckthemall #notcatholic #christmasenthusiasts It was really fun being with old friends again. The highlight was definitely the Camel riding though #wethreekings #bff #universityofstthomas #lilmissaria #myjeffyboy #serbianfriends #lovethewaytheytalk In memoriam: Bessie - my 2nd car, Nate's first. I got pulled over in her the first time I asked Nate out.
